Difficult to tell. I think he's 23 so they are going to want him playing sooner than later I would assume. From what I have read he is known for his pace. |  |

Pace is good. Can’t teach that. Maybe they’ll bring him in slowly and Jimmy starts at RB. Will be interesting to see how the team lines up for the opening game. |  | |  |
Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 11:49 - Jun 27 with 2707 views | DavieQPR | He's 22. Does mention 'the support network around the first team'. |  | |  |
Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 11:53 - Jun 27 with 2645 views | dannyblue | So perhaps Admason and Mbengue will share Dunne backup duties? |  | |  |
Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 11:57 - Jun 27 with 2601 views | PlanetHonneywood | I yearn for the days when there were no announcements. I can't keep up. We must have a separate gate and customs guy at LHR to handle this. Welcome Kealey. [Post edited 27 Jun 12:37]

Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 12:06 - Jun 27 with 2476 views | numptydumpty | I would have thought being that he is 22 years old, and the fact he is also a right back, perhaps he is in as cover. |  |

Reckon Dunne will be shifted to centre back. He isn't quick enough as a full back. Might have a pretty quick team! |  |

Squad replacement for Santos? |  | |  |
Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 12:14 - Jun 27 with 2376 views | daveB |
I think thats what he is, back up right back and hope he does well enough to break through but if not nothing really lost |  | |  |

A decision on a new LB might be delayed until Larkeche and Esquerdinha have been looked at during the training camp. If neither is considered good enough to start, there's still plenty of time to sign a player. The club should already have a list of potential targets for that position. |  | |  |
Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 12:36 - Jun 27 with 2250 views | Northernr | I think they're keen to give Larkeche a go. Certainly keener than I am anyway. |  | |  |

I think Esquerdinha is going to be the chosen one. |  | |  |

Didn't he have quite a decent season at Dundee at least? Looked like he played just about every game when fit anyway (either side of the hamstring problem). Plus he's French, and quick. I may choose to cling to this sort of thing. |  | |  |
Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 12:49 - Jun 27 with 2116 views | BrizR | It all looks like a plan's in place, doesn't it? You have two senior centrebacks in JCS/Cook with two young players in Morrison and Mbengue coming in behind them or stepping up when the inevitable injuries happen. Dunne is probably your senior RB but he can also cover CB, Mbengue can cover RB, there's a young player wanting to be at RB too. We're missing that proper senior LB on the other side but notionally you have Vale, Larkeche, and Esquerdinha there. After last summer's recruitment of half a dozen dwarfs all wanting to play in the same ten square feet of the pitch, we seem to be picking up players based on physical profiles, pace(!!!), and shoring up the squad depth with development prospects like this or players who can cover multiple positions. And another note that Adamson was ever-present in the A-League last season, though on a lighter schedule, which again suggests they're looking at availability as the best kind of ability. Looking towards the future, a possible defence this season is Larkeche/Esquerdinha, Morrison, Mbengue, Adamson - all 23 or under, picked up cheap, all ours and not loans, with lots of room to develop, most of them able to run faster than your nan (not you Liam). Obviously there's question marks there - has Larkeche developed on loan, are the new boys up to the league, etc. etc. but it's exciting that there's at least the appearance of thinking about what the defence looks like in 2026-27 and signing those players now rather than scrambling around for them in two summers' time. |  | |  |
Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 12:54 - Jun 27 with 2073 views | Northernr | Will have some Greg Spires analysis with tonight - apols, we did Poku first. The positive is he's rapid this lad so they've clearly identified that lack of pace problem in our team. Bad news... I don't know, this feels like Santos MkII to me. Hope I'm wrong. |  | |  |

Apart from Larkeche and Esquerdinha? |  |

Kealey Adamson - Welcome on 13:08 - Jun 27 with 1950 views | Landshark | While Adamson was already excited at the prospect of joining the R’s, he admits a conversation with Macurthur centre-back Ollie Jones also helped his decision making. “He's a massive QPR fan,” Adamson explained. “I was keeping up to date with the results even before I knew there was any interest because he would just come into the changing room watching the end of games, watching highlights, so I feel like really there was a connection without me even knowing it. “I told him a little bit about the interest and he goes: ‘You're going, you're going, you're going!’ One of us, One of us, One of us! |  | |  |
