The generic transfer thread

[cmonurz]

For a newly promoted a side, a defence featuring Kenny, Gabbidon, Young, Ferdinand and Traore isn't half bad at all.

Two of those three have Prem relegation history (one extremely recently) and another has an average scoreline from Prem starts of 2-8.
That's more than half bad - more like 60%

That's clutching at straws. Kenny is a hugely under-rated keeper (by me included), Luke Young has played for England and probably would still be in the squad had he not made himself unavailable. Ferdinand is inconsistent, but a very good defender on his day. Gabbidon isn't Maldini but he is solid enough, one of those players who can slot in to a newly promoted side and give them experience of the top division. Traore is arguably the weak link, but anyone good enough to go on loan to Juventus is good enough for a smaller Premier League club.

Add Barton, Dyer, Crouch (maybe), Taraabt (for now), QPR have assembled a decent enough squad, now Warnock has to get them playing together (In that respect Barton would be a project just on his own!)

They can't be criticised for their efforts in the transfer market.

so Deadline day is upon us..

Rooney's doubting Hargreave's fitness.. likewise, it just shows City will sign anyone. Happy to be proved wrong however!

and turns out Lakuku cannot join Stoke as.. Premier League rule M 7.1 says: "A temporary transfer to a club may not take place in the transfer window in which the transferor club acquired the player's registration." Guess they'll have to wait until January at least.

I'm sure however clubs before have had players loaned back to them within the same window they were sold?

Think its cos you cant play for 3 teams in the same window or something like that........loaning back to the same club is ok

Yeah that would make sense, I remember someone elses moved being barred a couple of seasons ago because of that rule.

Should have a side worthy of staying up after today and then January. This is what you want from an owner like Fernandez (sp?). Now they need a new stadium and sharpish.
