Latest to be linked. Some sort of deal to be done with Remy and Townsend also involved?
Parker certainly fits the bill- old, expensive and injury prone! |  |

Parker is a great player and I think his game in the championship would be a million times better then poxy Park's.
However he does have the potential to became the new Gavin Peacock, great when fit but missing injured when we need him the most. |  | | |

Think the experiences of last season has put everyone off signing players over 30. Shame, think we could miss out on some good characters. It was only 2 years ago that we signed Derry, Mackie and Hill.
Regarding Scott Parker, I’ve never once spoken to a supporter of a team he’s played for whose not said good things about him. Last season too many players didn’t put a shift in, they were lazy and showed a lack of fight. You can never accuse Parker of that. I personally like the analogy with the Derry signing. I thought he was sh*t at Palace when we played them and really didn’t hold out much hope when he arrived. He was a revelation.
Given the chance, I’d take Scott Parker.

Err.. Mackie isn't over 30
Just sayin' |  |

"Parker is also expected to have to take a small pay cut from his current £60,000-a-week wage at Spurs", it says in the Standard article. Oh well as long as it's a small one eh. |  | | |

with parker it's not just about what he gives on the pitch but off it as well, he is a good man in the dressing room and will help bring some harmony to the squad. He;s very different to park imo, i don't think his legs have gone the issue at spurs was how much more attacking they were with demble and sandro so when they got injured and parker came back in he was such a different type of player it changed how they played and hurt them.
He's far too good for the championship imo, clubs like west ham and villa should be going in for him ahead of us but would love to get him |  | | |

He will be good for the club, he is a family man, won't be on the front of the newspapers and doesn't tweet. Just hope he stays injury free. |  | | |

He has been a very decent player and a model professional. But in the last year, injuries have started to catch up with him. He'd be exactly the right sort to have around but the "has been" in the first sentence may be too prophetic.
Spurs aren't going to let him go on the cheap, he'll want massive wages for a Championship club, and he may still harbour ambitions of going to the World Cup. If the latter is true, then he won't want to drop a division. |  |

What puts me off is the Park signing last summer. His legs had gone at Man Utd, but I thought "just cos he's not good enough for Man Utd doesn't mean he won't be good enough for QPR".
Last season Parker was clearly spent, the difference between Spurs with Sandro and Spurs with him was stark. But you'd think he'd still be fantastic for the Championship.
On balance, if we can get him for £2m on a reasonable wage, I think he could be a great acquisition. |

You can guarantee we won't do any thorough checks around injuries if he does want to come, so desperate to get another 'name' and 'talisman' through the doors...
I've always rated Parker but he was very poor the handful of times i saw him play for Spurs last season - whether that was down to injury or a Park-esque decline i'm not sure.

To be honest, i imagine he'd be excellent this year if he comes, if he is fit. No idea about that.
Certainly on paper the likes of Crouchie and Parker are sort of everything we've been saying we don't want; ex internationals, step down, over 30s, past peak, super expensive etc, but that said i think those two have good character and would be superb at Championship level. If they are/stay fit.
I'd prefer Huddlestone to Parker for certain. Although no idea about his character?

Although I think we should be looking at younger players than him Scott Parker would be a great signing for us,the fans would absolutely love him and a lot of the younger players would learn a thing or two about professionalism and attitude on and off the pitch,definite captain material.Would probably spell the end for Shaun Derry to join McDermott's Leeds revolution though.
Still hoping we are going to spend some of the Samba money on a decent centre half (Matt Mills) and a decent young striker from the lower leagues with a bit of potential and/or sell on value (Nahki Wells of Bradford or Paddy Madden of Yeovil) | | | |

parker may fit the bill?

Heard from through his sister that although not 100%, this is nearly a done deal. |  |
