Rumours he's gone to Hearts. | | | |  |

I wonder if he turned down moved which would have made us more money?
I know Aberdeen and Hearts were mentioned. Don't know what budgets they have.
I would strongly suspect if he goes to Brum they we will have a sell on and promotion clause. | |

That's where I am too. As a PP said, always appreciate him getting out of his sick bed to play for us.
Not the most gifted technically but almost always put a shift in unlike some we've had and always tried his best at both ends of the pitch. Anyone see Ethan Laird in Birmingham's post-match analysis? Ball came over the top with him out of position too tight to the line with the winger in an inside left position. Laird just jogged back. He was never getting there for the first touch but he could have made a clearance if the guy mis-controlled it or hit the post. You won't get that kind of lack of commitment from Lyndon which is maybe why Birmingham want him in a squad that also contains Laird and Tyler Roberts, who incidentally has only played in the cup this season. He also ensures that their forwards now total 95 years old. Do they have Mick Beale as their chief scout?
It makes sense to sell him as he's ageing, reportedly relatively expensive and because we really do need to score more goals. Plus a bit more cash for the coffers. But I hope he does well as he never shirked at the time when many did. | | | |

That's up there with spunking the Ferdinand money on Osborne, Zelic, and Hatley [Post edited 28 Aug 6:37]

Edit - beaten to it.
Dykes goes with my best wishes, frustrating player who could have been more, but also a grafter.

Good luck Lyndon hopefully you get better service at Brum as we've never really played to your strengths. Good servant for the club who always gave 100% and even with the lack of goals always liked seeing name on teamsheet. Should get a few more goals in Div 1 and help Brum bounce back at first time of asking.
I think Jan Celar is potentially a more natural finisher and Frey will also score more over a full season. | | | |

He refused to sit on the bench after scoring last week. | |

Dykes and Armstrong or Frey and Celar?
I know which two I prefer and which two are likely to put more goals on the board.
Best of luck to both our departing former strikers, but neither were going to take us where we need or want to go.
Onwards and upwards. A new dawn now begins in earnest. Well, after the international break at least. | | | |

Has the sale of any player ever caused this much fuss on a QPR forum? Fascinating how he has split the fan base. | | | |

This would explain the quick sale and potential lower than expected fee. If true, better to start the season without a sulky player and bank the cash. Getting the 18k per week of the books will also help. I do think we need another forward in the squad though. Not keen on loan players but room for a prem youngster who needs game time. | | | |

I don't believe that for a second | | | |
| Dykes sold apparently on 08:57 - Aug 28 with 5749 views | Hoopsie |
He wasn’t starting and not on the bench because we are selling
Ok, I made that up but I think this it is more believable | |

I see he’s gone for the ‘Alien Ant Farm’ hair style. What a Smooth Criminal….. | | | |

I’m struggling to believe anyone would be daft enough to cough up a million for him, so thank you Birmingham.
I’d have happily swapped him for Alfie May rather than the cash though. | | | |

I wish Lyndon all the best .
Was going to argue this point but realise there are 2 sides to every story so I don’t know what’s exactly true or not .And after the weekend best to keep my gob shut.
Always gave his all, but came up short I think . Understand both sides of the fan base and only a personal view but as frustrating as playing with Ilias can be at times , I think he hid behind defenders and lives on his heels instead of anticipating and gambling inside the box.
Came across as good guy to me so I wish him good luck .
Shane it’s with that lot

For me.... I don't personally mind Dykes, not our greatest player but felt he gave his best especially after the pneumonia and I feel he was a liked presence in the team.
But the F>ing hair changes, that did/does my nut in.... and just cos of that, happy he's left.
Much prefer Frey's bald skinhead psycho noggin. | | | |

Best of luck Lyndon - and what a fine goal to leave us on! | |

He has more time donning a new hairdo than practicing to shoot?
I think if he/we/they didn’t classify him/self as a striker, some fans will be more forgiving. | |

There's one thing in football that matters more than anything else. Scoring goals. It's been obvious from early on that Lyndon wasn't the answer.
We should have sold him two or three years ago when he had a good spell for Scotland. Which is where his main motivation seemed to lie at the time. | | | |

the amount of energy fans expend worrying about hairstyles is baffling. Happened again last night. Don't really get it myself. | |

Taking the mick out of Chong when Kolli is stood there seemed particularly strange! | | | |
| Dykes sold apparently on 12:48 - Aug 28 with 3549 views | davman |
Not sure he divided us at all. We all appreciate the effort he put in, but he is limited and could not hit a cow's rear with a banjo and I think EVERYONE eventually came to that view, didn't we? | |

No not EVERYONE thought that.
Didn’t score enough goals like pretty much all the strikers we’ve had over the last decade: seemed to get more abuse off the keyboard warriors for it though than most of the others. | | | |

I didn’t mind Lyndon but I think it’s time we all try something different now.
Oddly, for me his biggest flaw if ever there was one, was his general averageness in attributes.
Decent in the air but no Helguson
Quicker than Frey but hardly a speed merchant
Could put it about but didn’t enough
Not a natural finisher but good if he didn’t have time to think about it
Interesting to see if that’s that or we can go in the market for one more attacker | | | |
| Dykes sold apparently on 13:08 - Aug 28 with 3207 views | richpr |
He might have run alot but when was it ever effective? A bit more practising at getting in the right positions would have helped. Never that good in the air either IMO | | | |

I did suggest we should bring Koli on for a 'hair-off'. I think he may have won. | | | |
