Im starting to think this was a really silly move. Who are going to bring in who is better than him for 2-3 million. The bloke all ways gave his all and could score a goal or two despite bad service. Yet we keep Washington, who looks to me to be league 1 player. I cant imagine Polter was on significant wages either.
This is a classic example of how we dont have a plan bigger than the manager. If Olly gets the chop, it will look a very silly decision. He is exactly the sort of player we have been crying out for, somebody the fans can get behind, and somebody who gives his all for the shirt. Really poor move!
Sylla is going to have to carry us for the rest of the season now.
This could well be an important transfer in defining the legacy of IH's second term here; if we don't get a suitable replacement--someone who can knock defenders about a bit and hold the ball up--then this could look really bad, especially with the insinuations that there have been fallings out etc.
On the other hand, if all ends well a bit of profit on a limited player could look pretty good in retrospect.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
How do you know it was 3M , they did not want to pay what we did when he was on loan to them, at most they may have covered the fee we paid but I don't see them paying 3M for a player that wanted to leave to go home, the ball was in their court.
Thank you SEB. You gave 100%, scored a few including one or two crackers, gave defenders a hard time, entertained us and did something that an awful lot of players struggle to do....quietened down the boo boys. WELL DONE.
It's only a poor move if you rate him. 1 goal every 5 games would suggest he wasn't much of striker. Also, watching him play football would tell you the same.
It's only a poor move if we don't replace him - and as Sylla proves - there better plays for £2million. There are definitely better players for £3 million.
Sadly, Washington isn't one of them. I'd be keen to see us try and get our money back for him too.
But then we need to buy 2 strikers, at a time of year that is hard to get good value for money and need them to bed in immediately. Seems quite risky imo
(that was meant for the post above but I apparently can not use the basic functionality of this site)
But there are mitigating circumstances with Sandro, Polter and Chery.
The first player is an albatross we have been trying to get rid of for ages, for footballing and financial reasons.
Polter is - we are led to believe - homesick; I don't see how we can pin that on Ollie.
Chery is chasing the money.
So, I think that with those three, Holloway is not to blame. I do agree, though, that big changes, especially mid-season, are not ideal. Nor is the change of manager we just had, to be honest.
It does sometimes seem to me that both the players and management/board at QPR fail to play the percentage game and take the hardest possible route, as is they think that our status as a club in a big city and/or our achievements in the 70s and 80s will mean that things will magically come good, against all odds, even if we stupidly get someone sent off or make a crazy managerial change.
Oh well, no one said it would be easy and it's when you see the one you love struggling that you realise just how much you love them.
Ahhhhhh

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
Sad to see him go as he was a handful and had a great attitude. Good luck to him.
People blaming Ollie and Les for him, Sandro and Chery going is ridiculous. Polter's family are all in Germany, wants to have a family, Chery moving to provide security for his family and Sandro going because his salary to value ratio is dreadful.
We have to move on and hope some players may want to play here.
