If our Manager wanted know how Walsh would perform between the sticks, he now knows. |  |

I'd say he's about average for the Championship. He has strengths and weaknesses but is probably as good as we could recruit just now.
I remember the cross Nardi claimed that you note but for me it's memorable because he so rarely did it.
Whether Walsh becomes a better keeper or not than Nardi is hard to say but whatever the case, I think he'll be a better catcher of crosses. |
Really? Well, we beg to differ. |  | | |

Are you saying because of this he isn't a decent keeper? Nardi has singlehandedly kept us in many games last year and now we're bombing him out because of this view that he doesn't come for crosses which, by the way, is not entirely true. I recall a game late on when he came and claimed a high ball at the School End and receives a smack to the head which required lengthy treatment. |
He was targeted after Xmas. It was noticeable how often he was crowded on corners, that balls were hung up into the area.
If opposition teams one after the other all do the same thing to the same player that kind of implies that they have spotted a weakness and we have a big problem.
A decent keeper can come and claim, he can't. Is Walsh the answer? Who knows, but he is young and highly thought of so he must play. | |

Here we go again with this obsession with coming out for crosses. A decent keeper is who because it certainly wasn't Dieng who came out for crosses. I can't recall us conceding from crosses that you think Nardi should have claimed. It certainly wasn't an issue with the majority of the QPR supporters who voted. There are far worse players in our current squad than Nardi yet he's the one copping some stick. [Post edited 12 Jul 13:50]

Firstly, we really don't know if he will be sold or not.
More generally, it doesn't really matter how good we think any player is, it's just the value / amount another team is prepared to pay.
We need to get back to that cycle of selling when players are in demand, leaving us with more money to invest in the squad. Over a 3-5 year period, if we do this well, we should end up with a much better squad we''ve been able to invest in properly, with a reputation as a place players can come to develop and go on to 'bigger clubs' making us a more attractive option.
The alternative is we end up letting players go for much less and have much less money to spend on players.
I actually have more faith now that we have this sort of process set - we'll just have to accept we won't get it right everytime but if we get most done well we should be able to finish higher up the table and eventually properly push for promotion. | |

Walsh is almost good enough to be a #1, also, young keepers who play in the first team tend to get sold for silly money.
Nardi is way better but older, if you can get £2m for 31 a 31-year-old, then we should take it and try Walsh.
We are a selling club and need to sell, best to sell someone we can replace. Worst case Walsh ain't up to it and we get in some golden olide back up keeper on the cheap until we replace with another Nardi again. |  |

I'd like to start by saying I'm usually wrong about these things but I can't see us moving Nardi on. He was one of our best players last season and arguably as impressive a first season as Smithies had years ago.
I'd like to think the Walsh/Nardi sharing minutes in friendlies is about keeping both keepers involved competitively as it should be at this level. |  |

The bizarre QPR policy of stockpiling huge numbers of sub-standard goalkeepers endures. |  | | |
