As they have already started, we need a thread. Suspect most of these will be wrong/clickbait sites, but lets store them in one place.

Of course the huge risk of that is that if/when he flops in this setup the money you could’ve garnered this summer is off the table. |
Or that if he does well he chooses to go for free in the summer. |  | | |

If Kelman comes flying out the gates he would be picked up in January |  | | |

Interesting what do we know about pape meissa ba? There's some showreels on YouTube but I'm never sure how much you can learn from those, and the music is always dreadful.
Looks like he only signed for Schalke 6 months ago? |  | | |

Got to say, I am really not impressed by what I have seen.
1 in 4 striker, 28 years old........
Sorry to be negative, but this one isnt doing it for me. |  |

Schalke fans aren't that bothered with him leaving, take from that what you will.
Looking at the two prior seasons in France Ligue 2, 23 goals in 65 games isn't a bad return but I'm not sure about that level. A common comment is regarding his work rate, off the ball movement and pressing. Seems to be a late bloomer, we'll see I guess. Maybe Stephan knows him well. | | | |

From this article it seems like he was deployed as number 10 for Schalke which didn't suit him and he also doesn't have the ability to play striker.
(Translated from German)
"Now, Pape Meissa Ba no longer fits into coach Miron Muslic's system and is therefore among the candidates for the S04 cut . The coach recently deployed the striker as a number ten – a role that doesn't suit the 28-year-old.
The technical deficiencies in ball control and passing were all too evident in this position during the test matches and training sessions. Pape Meissa Ba lacks the assertiveness in one-on-one duels to play as a striker. He was consistently second to the ball, especially on high balls."
I'm not going to write him off before I have seen him play but it seems a strange signing from the outside. | | | |

Since Muslic only joined in May I think the 10 experiment was during pre season. Weird one as he is a career striker.
As you say, it does seem strange with the age and profile. Considering we're spending money they must believe in him to replicate his form from the 1st half of last season. Good luck to him if it goes through and let's see | | | |

Once we get some pace up front I don't think we'll be pish balling around at the back so much. A bit more direct hopefully.
Still need a really good CM or all these signings are a bit academic. | |

Totally agree and 🙏 that he does the business.
But....
You'd hope that "highlights" would make you think, ohh he looks amazing. Not the opposite! | |

Solid posting Jeffrey
However, he's not Australian, so I wonder how he'll fit into the project.
Edit: If he's 28, then he needs a new moisturiser and facial regime! [Post edited 24 Jul 16:31]

Agree, but how many times do we see other clubs sign players that suddenly turn out to be mustard. Be nice for it to happen to QPR | | | |

Rumours that Kelman sale has been completed. | |

We have struggled to sign a decent striker for years with the exception of Charlie Austin.
I thought this guy looks a bit like Celar did in his highlights.
Anyhow, here's hoping.
Weirdly the other French striker we have been linked with it looks much better in his highlights reel.
The lad from Colchester looks a little raw at the moment.
I'm hopeful we can offload Celar still. | |

Well the good news on that is maybe he will have helped QPR to have won a number of points to lift the team into a healthier position than they were last season at the same stage.
As for his price in January, well we don’t know what offers have been made so far, but given that one is from Luton, I can’t imagine it is more than the fee Dykes went for. In which case I will would prefer to take a gamble that he has improved considerably since he last played for QPR than sell him
on the cheap. | | | |

If they are true I hope sell on clause is 20%. I would love to have kept him to see if he c ould transfer last years form to us.
Of course we have so many high quality strikers he would have been well down the pecking order anyway | | | |
