This once again goes back to abusing the team, players and managers before we have even kicked a ball in the Championship yet.Yes, he has not been amazing the past two seasons, and yes we havent signed anyone with creativity, but we are trying to get Hooper and Austin, we still have Remy and Taarabt, and we havent even played a competitive game yet. Im sure we were exactly like this when we brought Orr and Hill and Derry in our Championship winning season. So lets just give them a break and see how they do |  |

I would rather Derry now than Henry. I hope he proves me wrong (should he sign) but from what I have seen of him even in his "successful" years he was a terrible player. |  |

Remy is apparently injured and hasnt played a minute in pre season...small matter of a possible court case coming up too. We may still have tarbs, but seems pretty obvious so far he wont be playing.
Hoopers back at Celtic in their squad for tomorrow, so again pretty obvious at the mo he wont be joining us (unless we double the sacks of money were offering no doubt) and Austins failed a medical at Dull
Apart from that, yes i agree lots to be positive about |  | | |

Also adding to the fact I have watched SWP, JH and the Parks etc over last 2 seasons it's not team bashing or not being positive it's just being honest
GK - Green
DF - Suk young, Hill, Onuoha, Simpson
MD - Hoilett, faurlin, Henry, SWP
FW - Johnson, Zamora
How many goals is this team going to score create???
draws or loses against Sheff Wed and Ipswich and away defeats to Bolton and Leeds live on Sky and we could be all over the papers again and looking for a new manager | | | |

It is possible to look at our signings so far from the perspective of Harry getting the defence sorted out before he sorts out creative players and strikers.
On the other hand you could say Harry is going for another short term fix of our problems.
As far as Dunne and Henry are concerned I recall the same negative comments when Warnock signed Hill and Derry.
I only hope we have some creative players coming in, but only time will tell whether the players being brought in will work. Once they pull on the QPR shirt we should at least give them a chance and hope Harry knows what he is doing. I think there is a good chance he knows better than those of us on here what the QPR team needs. |  |

Alot of ppl are slating this signing but I honestly think it will be a good signing, seems as he is not a household name he is not being given a chance. I will welcome the signing and give him a chance as we have no reason not 2 |  |

BTW - I am a bit surprised to see we are reportedly paying a fee of £1million for Henry as he is training with the reserve squad and Wolves want him off their wage bill. Are there other Championship clubs fighting to take him on? I would have thought a nominal fee would be appropriate in those circumstances and I hope he has moderated any wage demands - possibly part of the fee is going back to the player to compensate for his reduced earnings? | |

Not a fabulous player but could be cheap and in any case, how many ball winning central midfielders are actually likely to still be with us at the start of the season?Only Ale, Jenas and Derry, I reckon, yet this is a key position. We are going to need a steely, tough tackler in the centre and Henry might just do a job.

“I’ve always liked Karl,” said the QPR manager. “He’s a good sort, he’s a competitor. He looks like he wants to win.
“He’s captain of Wolves and whenever I came up against him he always had that attitude about him that he’s very determined. I think he is what we need at the club.
“He’s a bit of a leader on the pitch and he will be a big asset for us. He is having a medical and it should go through today.” |  | | |

I'd be absolutely amazed. Wolves are desperate to get rid. |  | | |

I'm usually fairly optimistic/excited about most signings, but this is an awful signing.
As mentioned above and in other threads (e.g. Nathaniel Chalobah) there is so much better out there we could have signed. |  | | |

"there is so much better out there we could have signed."
If I had a pound for every time someone comes up with that moan when there is a rumoured signing or confirmation of a signing.............
"we could have signed" - No, we couldn't...........
Otherwise, we would have.........
Signed them.
We are not Man Utd
We are not Chel***
We are not Barcalona
When we come knocking on the door of a club all the players probably run and hide and hope its not them. And when it is them, we act all surprised that they dont want to come to the madhouse at LR. So in the past we would have thrown loads of money at them until it changed their mind.
But now, no more final big pay days or bribing players to wear the shirt, they have got to buy into the job at hand to bring the club back up.
So those that are "so much better out there" will not want to come here. If it was that easy and obvious we would all be football agents and managers.

I'm usually very positive and open minded. I was quite happy with Derry and Hill. I think we can all agree Orr was not really up to it. But this one is flabbergasting, it really is. I'm happy with Dunne and Simpson, but Henry, to me, is something I don't understand. I just don't get it and I'm fed up with us signing older players when we really, really need to look more to the future bearing in mind the age of our squad. Henry can't believe his luck I bet. |  |

Instead of signing Henry can't we just coach Diakite ? | | | |

Not quite , but some of the self flagellating has been laughable .
If we are drawing 0-0 with Wednesday at half time they will probably get booed off. |  | | |

Seems to be bought PURELY for the fact that he is 'the right sort' a good character to allow Redknapp to control the dressing room and get the ethos and spirit right. Which in one way is fine, but you have to strike a balance between good attitude and actual ability - needs of the team. I do not see what Henry brings other than a good personality and work ethic.
This also flies in the face of the 'it is not an attitude thing it is an ability problem' that Redknapp touted last season. Absolute bollocks. |  |

Redknapp building from the back ive got no problems with that. Ive not seen too much of Henry so I will judge him in his performances in a Hoops shirt. Make your team hard to beat and build from there. |  |

Wow, this thread has come along way since 23.14 last night...
From reading the above the only real positive of this signing seems to be that no-one has any high expectations, have to say that's quite refreshing after the feeling I had last year when I strolled over the betfair website to put a few quid on us finishing in the top 10. |  | | |

Absolutely spot on, well said. Sadly, this is where we are as of today.

Not a fan but it depends what it leads to. One or more of Barton, Mbia, Diakite going I could live with.
It doesn't look like a side that will be producing free flowing and exciting football. Rather grinding out 0-0s and 1-0s.

Not spot on at all. We have the means and standing to attract a variety of players - excepting experienced Prem performers on the fringes of the England squad, sorry Harry - and it's only a lack of imagination that holds us back. If you really think the club is in such a state that only Karl Henry would consider joining then you're ten times more hysterical than anyone slagging him off here. |  | | |

If he's the right sort then why has he been training with the kids and (supposedly) was being allowed to leave on a free when his contract runs until 2016? | |
