SSN breaking news: Ricardo Carvalho to QPR !!!

[Shania]

Class defies age to a point Maldini was playing in world cups at past 37

Yepp, and Short term, we have other worries in defence than the individual player´s age to pay our attention to; Greens confidence, Fabio´s routine i.e. The scouting will continue(has only just begun, actually) as I see these kind of players only as a stop gap. Dawson excepted.

[qpr]

Wow, if we could get both Dawson & Carvalho then that's amazing. If we could get one then Dawson but wow wow wow to Carvalho being linked, didn't expect that

[californiahoop]

SSN says he has joined

[qpr]

SSN says he has joined

Wow, i'm actually so happy. We needed a centre back so bad and we've got one. Tbh i'm not happy with Onuoha, Ferdiand & Hill but I do believe they can be useful. We needed this shake up in defence badly

[bonheurjh]

WHAT??????????? ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS?????????? HOLY ******.... WE HAVE LITERALLY REAL WORLD CLASS CB NOW FROM REAL MADRID!!!!!:drunk:

[Del]

SSN says he has joined

No they aren't. It says deal agreed, same as this morning. We may not have spoken to the player yet....

[SammyKojoe]

SSN says he has joined

Obviously does not fly Easyjet or Ryanair then

[bonheurjh]

Who cares about How old he is. He could at least Yell at our defenders to wake-the-****-them-up from daydreaming

Del yOu don't send representatives of a club on a 2 hour flight to talk to a club without having a clue if the player is keen or not.....

[Geezum Crowe]

Can't believe we're on the verge of signing one of the great centre backs of the modern age and there are people on here whinging about the shortcomings of our scouting operation.

I didnt say they did.... Please elaborate where it has been said we have flown representatives out to Spain to discuss this, becasue i've certainly not seen anything?

If you think all enquiries are done face to face these days you are deluded.

WOW, never a dull day at QPR eh? Yesterday morning I was worried about Grant Holt bullying Ferdinand and now we're looking at the prospect of a Dawson and Carvalho pairing!

Anyone think we could sell another centre back before the end of the window?

Doubt either or both will be done in time for the players to train with the squad for long enough to line up against Norich

[Shania]

Sure, Carvalho is not on his way to Spurs to replace Dawson. Could SSN have mixed it up?

[californiahoop]

No they aren't. It says deal agreed, same as this morning. We may not have spoken to the player yet....

I logged on line about 20 mins ago and it stated " Carvalho joins QPR" I will check again when I get a few mins.
