Ben Whiteman on 09:45 - Dec 30 with 7117 views | Blue_Castello | Genuinely can't see us spending money on transfers in January and he's under contract until 2023, pretty sure we will be dipping into the loan market which we desperately need. | | | |

Loans cost money too. Depends how much they want for him. | |

Ben Whiteman on 10:49 - Dec 30 with 6816 views | MedwayR | Sounds like he'd be a decent option and glad that we're looking in the right places. I think we'll have to spend in Jan, either on loans or permanent as we need an injection of quality and given the funds we received in the summer I think we've got enough flexibility with regard to FFP to do some business if the right deals come up. | |

Ben Whiteman on 10:58 - Dec 30 with 6733 views | Boston | We may be interested but I doubt he’s going anywhere. They’re right in the mix for promotion, unless someone offers funny money he’s an integral part of that push. | |

Maybe a similar deal to what we paid for Dickie, plus throw in Lumley. Anything we get for BOS needs to be invested back into the squad. | |

Ben Whiteman on 11:58 - Dec 30 with 6501 views | BAWHoops | If he's 'the one' for central midfield then they'll get him. From the (admittedly very limited) sources I have they bit the bullet with Dickie and Bonne and paid what was asked for | |

Ben Whiteman on 12:04 - Dec 30 with 6466 views | gobbles | All depends on which club is the most broke. I was listening to Neil Harris on the Cardiff manager's zoom conference last night. He said Cardiff would not be spending in January. He said no clubs would be, because there was no money. He claimed there was a big problem with clubs not being able to pay wages, which was not being reported on. Clubs just do not have any money to spend on transfers because survival is the only priority. This sort of "clubs are monitoring the situation" reporting at the moment is nonsense, because there are bigger issues at stake for all clubs than an out of form full-back. | | | |

Exactly, What club is going to be purchasing players under the current financial strains they are all having to deal with? If you've got no cash in your wallet and no likelihood of any cash being put in your wallet until gawd knows when then that's it, that's the situation. There is no way QPR will be purchasing players in January and in any case I'm not that confident that this season will be completed anyway. Like it or lump it it'll be loans and hopefully shrewd loans at that. Not a chance we will be buying anyone in January. Not quite sure how those dorks at SKY will be able to deal with having nothing to talk about during the January transfer window, but then I don't give a f uck about SKY. Slammed shut. | |

I don't think anyone is spending millions but everyone needs money at the moment so prices of players likely to drop, I think we'll add 2/3 players in January, none for big money though obviously | | | |

Exactly. There will always be owners taking a risk, while other clubs will be forced to take any offer they get. | | | |

True but with loans the club can target PL players on short-term contracts whilst with buys they have to scour the lower leagues and hand out long contracts. For me, it depends on the managerial situation. The club should only commit to more permanent signings if it intends to retain MW's services. If it doesn't then better to leave some headroom for his replacement. As for Whiteman, central midfield is certainly a priority but I suspect he'd want a healthy pay rise and long contract to convince him to leave a promotion chasing side for a relegation scrap. | | | |
Ben Whiteman on 13:39 - Dec 30 with 6143 views | HAYESBOY | If we can use Lumley and get him at a decent price then I trust MW. I also agree that this is the area we need to strengthen in. If Cameron plays in a 3 at the back then we have Ball, Carroll and Bettache for a midfield 2. We have two left back/wing backs. Two right backs/wing backs. IMO that's enough. With Amos out till next year we are week in the middle of the park. I would also look to loan in a striker if the right one was available. | |

Saw M W is thinking of loaning out Kelly , does mean he's thinking of recalling Lumley ? Or playing bluff | | | |

I don’t have a clue ,Ted, but this seems very plausible. Anyway, have you checked on Delia? | | | |

I hope this was in reference to Ched Evens. Who is the snooker player?! | | | |
