    I struggle to visualise either Pugh or Clarke as lone strikers like we normally play.

    Don't worry - we've recalled Oteh, that will solve all our issues up front <doh>

    Looking at how our competition have all strengthened their squads is pretty sickening. Our board have made a statement and that is “we’re done for this season”.

    The only saving grace is that Eze and BOS are around, for the time being at least.

    I’m not convinced they will get the cheque book out in May-August.

    They won’t be and nor should they. It’s disheartening but the balance sheet doesn’t lie. Retaining our best players was an achievement even if it doesn’t feel like it.

    I know you do, but 5 goals for Bradford in L2 isn't that reassuring

    Swapped him for Mlakar though so we’ve strengthened there :azn:

    Still losing 5-2 tomorrow.

    You are quite right. It’s the reminder of our previous, staggering mismanagement which rankles along with what seems like being the only team to have been penalised by FFP.

    We may of course simply not have had any offers for them

    Everyone knows we’re skint so I’m sure we did. We are the club that let Furlong go for £1.5m after all.

    Clives take on our transfer window. Depressing reading, but he's right in pointing out that the clubs hand has been forced by the pressures of FFP

    Could the last one out...

    Friday, 31st Jan 2020 19:39 by Clive Whittingham


    Bristol City, with Nahki Wells leading the line, come to Loftus Road on Saturday to face a QPR side that appears to have taken a depressingly pragmatic approach to the second half of the season.


    If you’d told me when I jumped on the plane on the morning of the Leeds game for two weeks in America that by the time I flew back we’d have been knocked out of the FA Cup and Nahki Wells, Matt Smith, Jan Mlakar, Josh Scowen and Toni Leistner would all have permanently left the club I’d have said I’ll be needing something stronger to drink than this in that case.

    Individually, the deals make sense.

    Nahki Wells was always likely to leave, for all the reasons I gave a fortnight ago. Even if QPR had decided they wanted to spend money and wage on a player about to turn 30 with little sell on value, which they obviously did on this occasion despite it being contradictory to what they’re meant to be doing, they simply couldn’t. It’s not the case of the board not being able to afford it or not wanting to do it (they can and did), it’s a simple matter of maths and FFP. Where’s the money from Freeman, Luongo, Smithies et al gone? Onto the fire. Even with it we’re still losing north of £10m a season, that money is just reducing losses to keep us compliant. This is where we are. If we had bought Wells and breached the rules, then it would have been a transfer embargo until we sold enough players to get back into a compliant position again. Would you want a summer fire sale of Bright and Eze at knockdown prices just so we can keep Wells for our quest for sixteenth now? No
