    Yaya Toure at QPR.
    Man City hero Yaya Toure starts coaching journey with QPR and Blackburn

    Toure explained how he has spent time at Championship sides QPR and Blackburn learning from their coaches and running sessions himself as he develops his coaching experience.
    He explained: "I want to be out on the grass, interacting with other people, exchanging ideas. I’ve been very lucky that Chris Ramsey (QPR's technical director) has given me the opportunity to do that at QPR
    "I’ve been able to lead coaching sessions with the younger age groups, watch Chris coach and learn from him, as well as lots of other good coaches like Andrew Impey and Paul Hall. Les Ferdinand has been great, giving me the chance to watch these coaches in action. They have pushed me to learn, and have shown me what you need to do differently to be a top coach.

    eer play him?

    Any idea how he was playing there? Still don't think he's a Championship level player

    Four goals in sixteen games. I’m starting to think he might not be our Lukaku.

    Not sure I get this. We exude the benefits of sending players out on loan - then call someone back, who is presumably gaining game time; unless he is to be loaned out higher up the leagues?

    Possibly being sold. Hopefully a makeweight in a deal for Whiteman but doubt a L1 team would be desperate for him. Could be that Stevenage binned him to make room for another loan.

    According to WLS

    Think Warburton hope's to loan them out, not gone anywhere yet.

    WLS reporting Warburton saying Kelman not going out on loan. Doesn't want to risk having only 3 strikers. Guess that means Oteh will be off again.

    Kelman has played for two clubs this season so unless that rule has changed he’s not leaving. Doubt he was ever meant to play this season in the first team anyway.

    Someone on Twitter said that Oteh coming back is for the sake of him being able to learn from Charlie Austin.

    Which sounds plausible until you ask yourself, can he learn more from one experienced striker whilst not getting on the teamsheet than he can learn playing very regularly in a professional league?

    Their manager was once quite a handy striker and they signed someone else on loan last week. I get the impression they weren’t that desperate to keep him.

    Shame as I thought he might make it after he scored at Burton and looked quite lively but if he’s going to have a career he should probably go somewhere like Barnet and bang in a few to get picked up by a bigger club.

    I think it all comes down to service. I don't think anyone here has been watching Stevenage on a regular. So, we have no idea how good the service is at Stevenage that Oteh is expected to take advantage of. His goal return there isn't that bad on paper. But what service is he being offered by his team mates? If the service is as bad as it is here, it's not a bad record.

    I think we have a very clear bar to measure against now at QPR. If a striker can finish the kinds of chances we had against Fulham, they'd be doing a better job than our strike force of Dykes and Bonne.

    Oteh to be used as the battering ram for Charlie?

    Not that Twitter is a great indicator of anything but their fans on there seem genuinely sorry he’s gone.

    Not a lot of love for Charlie on here, are we not pleased about his return?

    Kelman and Austin.... who are the other strikers? From what I’ve seen we don’t play with any.

    I don’t think there’s a single person on this board that doesn’t want Austin to be an instant success and start banging them in for fun.

    From my perspective it’s a curious deal and I’d be interested to understand the underlying financials. It’s strikes me as fascinating that we can afford to take a PL-quality striker - albeit an injury prone and ageing one - when we couldn’t compete for Wells or Hughill within the last 12 months or less. Presumably, we’ve balanced the books some more since then and done a great deal with WBA, but then again we’ve no gate revenue coming through at the moment.

    Absent any insight into the above it feels like we’ve possibly broken our pay structure in an act of desperation... and maybe also to take some fans’ heat off Warbles.

    Nevertheless, I’m delighted to have Austin back and hope he’s at least 70% the player he was the last time we had him here. But the Austin of 7 years ago was surrounded by some very different (and better) faces.
