You lose all leverage in January... Like we saw with JD if you believe the £250k rumours. Same with Charlie Austin all those years ago too.
There would equally be no guarantee he would take the move in January. I would imagine if he's sat there on 9 goals with an expiring contract his agent would be far more keen for him to move on a free in the summer as he'd make far more money out of it.
It just amplifies the risk. The only two particularly viable options are we believe in him, he wants to play here and he gets a new deal. Or we sell him this transfer window.
That's all assuming his contract ends next summer of course. |

But Dunne signed a new contract. We didn't lose him on a free. Plus there was about 2 weeks of constant speculation that he was being sold that culminated in a pretty stressful deadline day in January.
If they're looking at selling Kelman... It's highly likely to be becasue he's in the last year of his contract and he's not showing enough signs that he'll extend it. If that's the case, they simply have to sell him. |

Amateur attempt at replacing the green with blue:
Even more amateur attempt at replacing gold with red:

Huh? So because we've made expensive mistakes in the past (BOS, Manning, Willock etc.) that have cost us millions in lost revenue, we should just keep doing it?
It was pretty well documented that they spent all summer trying to get shot of Paal 12 months ago and found no takers. Dunne ended up signing an extension so you have to assume they were always confident they wouldn't lose him on a free and they were right, because they didn't. |

Why £500k less? He signed for an undisclosed fee. It could have been double or treble what we may pay for Ba.
Also to point out if Morris is on £20k pw - which I'd imagine would be a conservative estimate - it'll cost £3m over his three year contract in wages alone. He'll be just short of 33 when that contract expires.
If Ba signs a 3 year contract on £10k pw it'll cost £1.5m in wages. It would be a far smaller % of the P&S headroom than Morris, even if Morris were free (which he wasn't) and Ba costs us £500k. |

So by that logic, in any such debate about say... Liam Morrison or Amadou Mbengue next season... it would be valid to point out that they're 'rubbish' or 'not massively entertaining' because they're not as fast or strong as Virgil Van Dyke? Same for Ilias Chair because he's not as skillful or prolific as Mo Salah?
Equally - was it hard to enjoy our DS Premier League Cup victory because if they played the Brentford first team they'd have been slaughtered?
No matter the reasoning, comparing it to the men's game and dismissing it because there are differences is just ignorant. And I'd still argue it's far more prevalent in football than other team sports like rugby or cricket. I can't ever recall anyone saying women's rugby is awful because they'd lose every scrum to a men's team. Or a female fast pace bowler would get hit all over the ground by a men's opening batsmen. It's just completely irrelevant. |

Great post, thank you.
I really can't think of another sport where the elite female competitors are derided anywhere near as much as football. Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Nelly Koorda, Annika Sorenstam, Katie Ledecky, Laura Kenny, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Katie Taylor etc. are all generally heralded. I'm not saying they haven't had to put up with some absolute nonsense in their careers - doubtless they all have - but they're at least treated with respect by the masses.
Football is just different. There are larger swathes of men that presumably have some sensitivities around 'their' game and are unwilling to accept women as competitors into it. Nobody is forced to watch it yet some find it appropriate to chime in with derision when they do for 5 minutes. It really does read as latent misogyny or gender bias reacting to a perceived threat, even if it's subconscious.
The reactionary venom once it's pointed out chimes with the behaviour of a threatened individual too. All a bit mad that it can still happen in today's day and age. [Post edited 21 Jul 10:08]

Well you can bury your head in the sand as much as you like but clubs are talking to managers’ agents when they already have a job whether you like it or not. We would have sounded out Mart’s when he was still at Hammarby when Ainsworth was still manager. In fact given they had it sewn up in a matter of days they had probably held detailed negotiations whilst Ainsworth was employed. Why do you think agents exist?
Likewise I find it highly unlikely that Stephan and / or his agent hasn’t had constant dialogue with QPR probably as far back as last Autumn. Is it a coincidence that the Marti replacement rumours last October were French managers?
All clubs will do it, all managers would want their agents to have their ear to the ground for promotions and pay rises. Holding Marti or Stephan or any other QPR manager to account to some wistful, unconditional expectation is unrealistic and once again, naive. We’re only QPR. This is only the epicentre of the footballing universe for us. |

How do you feel about Varane this summer? Ungrateful, disloyal prick? Should be on garden leave? Marching him through the door? |

Why are you so hung up on the 'standard of football'?
We didn't play a great standard of attacking football vs Derby at Wembley - even before the red card - and the game was ultimately decided by two defensive errors and it was the singular best piece of sport I've ever witnessed.
If standard of football is so important to you I have no idea how you ended up a QPR fan.
Nobody's trying to take mens' football away you know. It'll still be there however popular or mainstream the women's game becomes. It's such a bizarre defensive attitude. |
