Gorkss Blimey !

QPR are reportably offering Kaspars Gorkss plus cash for Jason Puncheon

Upon hearing reports that QPR are looking to sign Jason Puncheon and are about to offer their central defender Kaspars Gorkss plus a cash sum the first reaction of many Saints fans would be to bite their hands off.

Its fair to say that Jason Puncheon made little contribution to our season last year and it cant be said he didnt have the chance too, after playing the opening 15 games without scoring a goal.

So offloading him would be a priority for the Saints manager, especially as hopefully it increases his spending power if he is allowed to use the money received.

So the QPR offer sounds ideal especially as it seemingly not only offers some cash but their latvianInternational centre half Kaspars Gorkss.

On the face of it Gorkss would be just the kind of central defender that Saints would look for, at 6ft 3 he is tall and commanding and having played for the last five seasons in England firstly for Blackpool and lattery QPR he has the experience in this country and perhaps as importantly the Championship where he has spent four of those five seasons.

Winning promotion is also in his locker, he played in the Blackpool side that won the League 1 play off finals in 2007, before joining Rangers a year later for £250,000 plus two players  and he was also a virtual ever present in QPR's Championship winning side last term, indeed at Loftus Road he has played most of the games in his three seasons there.

So on the face of it for Saints this looks like being a good deal, it has all three requisites that we want, offloading a troublesome player, getting in a decent centre half and some cash in the bank to boot.
