Guest Ash76 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Be pleasantly surprised if we got Murphy. Luongio would be a superb addition, strong in the tackle and can play too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he just wants rid to save a few £ and if letting us have a player saves all his dirty washing being made public then he wins all round. I'm all for believing the best of people but once they prove to be a snake you have to expect them to be a snake in future. Agree Wouldn't trust Bruce as far as i could throw him which given the size of the fat b@stard isn't very far... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or similar standard players. Exciting really. Fingers crossed we can do some smart business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With only 12 months left on his deal, we'd be crazy to pay anywhere near the £5m thats being reported for him when it's not an area we are short in compared with others. Desperately need to upgrade Left Back for me, as well as another pacy winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Aren't Derby after Murphy too? Rooney/Cocu or Palmer/Bullen. Tough choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed that whenever asked Bullen hasn't highlighted left back as being a position we need to strengthen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Luongo looked quality a few years ago for Swindon but seemed to become a bit of a steady eddy at qpr. Cheaper than Morsy I’m guessing and adds some energy. Anyone seen much of him in recent seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Man Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) If we make these signings and like people keep saying maybe a pacey striker on loan....... Minus losing SB I think it's been a great summer in what could have been a very testing financial crisis for us. Sold well/got rid of a few and brought in wisely. Think DC has learned one or two things after his first couple of seasons. Maybe restrictions have led to this? Maybe bring in an experienced DOF and have Bullen as (care taker) first team coach. No need to make him permanent but also no rush to get a new manager in. I think Bullen is competent and we can hold out to get the right man in. If Bullen continues to do a great job then consider giving him the role on perm but let's just see how it pans out first.

They did, but that's still not stopping some people spouting off that he's an attacking midfielder because they saw a total of 10 minutes of highlights from when he was at Swindon and scoring regular and they think he hasn't changed playstyle in the last 3/4 years. He's by no means a "defensive" midfielder, but he's not going to be an "attacking" midfielder like your Lewis McGugans or your Lewis Bakers or even your Josh Onomahs.

Always seen him as a deep lying playmaker type. Sitting just in front of the back 4. That’s where he’s been playing for QPR anyway. Good news though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have 2 or 3 players who can play there but nobody of sufficient quality to be a first choice. For that reason, its our weakest position.

Beatpusher Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just asked my QPR supporting mate at work about Luongo and his face dropped, said he's their best player, should be in the premier league. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Murphy on loan and Luongo in for a decent fee that would do for me, both good players who will improve the first team and strengthen the squad if we can get Hector in also for a decent fee. Maybe look for a better option at left back and look to get one or two out of the club either on transfer or loans such as JVA, Fox and a few of the kids such as Baker it would be a very good end to the transfer window. If I was being extra entitled I would look to move on Winnall and maybe loan in a striker with pace such as a Naki Well or a young premiership loan with pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 43 minutes ago, StudentOwl said: He became more defensive after his transfer to QPR. He's more like Hutch than I think you think he is. Probably a hybrid between Hutch and Lee. Bonus is, he's ideal for a midfield 3. He plays a bit like Lopez did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
