None of us are certain as to the transfer funds situation when the transfer window opens next week but everyone will agree that if we are stuck with this current bunch of totally inadequate players we are pretty much guaranteed to be relegated.
Worse case scenario is that we have no financial wiggle room to sign anyone, even on loan. If this is the case then IMO we should be already touting out Chair as available for sale as he is our best (only) option of getting decent money in. Get £3-4 million for Ilias, give the money to Cifuentes and hope to God he has already identified a few bargains from his time in Scandinavia.
And get Nakhi Wells back on loan from Bristol City.

Haven’t seen Philogene or Hull pulling up any trees lately and for what it’s worth, Chair his held in very high regard by other teams and players in this league. |
Personally I play him in a midfield three , coldback, d-bonner and chair ( field in defence)but you then need Willock fit as you have no one else apart from adomah to go wide .
Chair against Preston and hull played deeper and closer to Willock and from that position can’t be doubled up on.
I know a striker is priority no1 but I wouldn’t be shocked to see two wide/forwards come in |  | | |

Not sure where this coming window fits in with FFP if they count towards this years accounts or next as we file them before the window closes normally
They are going to need 3/4 excellent signings to stay up this year |
FFP is on Accounting periods, which for football clubs is July to June every year.
We won’t be getting 3/4 unless Marti has a black book of mystery free transfers who can play championship football. | | | |

We lost the games that Cook was injured. He seems to be the key player. |  | | |

Philogene hasn't played since the injury he sustained against us. Hull, albeit stuttering at present, are still very much in the play-off race, as they've won two and lost two of their last four games. They're a good side for mine and I was impressed with how they played against us. Delap's hold-up play and instant control was impressive, as well has his ability to run at our defence and create for others.
Totally agree with you re: Chair. [Post edited 27 Dec 2023 17:28]

What is Chair’s value in the current market taking into account he is well below Premier League level and the best we can hope for is a ‘rich’ upper level Championship team going for him? £4m would be good money for him.
And if we got that money we would need to use it to fund at least four player signings, including someone to play the Chair role of course. Won’t get feck all in this country with that money, hence why I stated we will need to rely on Cifuentes to use his knowledge of Scandanavian football to pick up a bargain.
Is there anyone else we could sell for that kind of money? I don’t think so. Is it a massive gamble? Yes but the alternative might be stick with what we have which is almost guaranteed relegation which would probably lead to a firesale of anyone half decent for peanuts (including Chair) as the club tries to cut the wage bill for League One.

Quite often Ned, I agree with a lot of your posts - But this one is madness and fortunately I think MC thinks very highly of him so unlikely. But why I think he should stay
1) One of the few players who plays for the badge and pride and always wants to win and loves the club
2) Can often create something out of nothing
3) If (And its a big IF) we get a striker we need a creator
If we need to offload players, then let Field go, Dykes (yes yes I know) or even Paal, but we really need to hold on to Chair I am afraid. |  | | |

I think someone said the same on another thread. Play Cook and JCS as a centre half paring and we give ourselves a chance | | | |

Mate in an ideal world we don’t have to sell our best players, we offload the sh1t ones for a few quid, and we improve the quality of the squad by signing some quality players. QPR are not in that position though so what do we do as doing nothing equals relegation.
Field, Dykes and Paal might generate some interest but how much could we sell any of them for? Less than seven figures I’d guess which wouldn’t be enough to find replacements for them let alone add extra quality to the squad. Chair is the major sellable asset we have. | | | |

This club has only won games of football when Willock and Chair are pulling up trees . When they’re not, we are dreadful side. | | | |

We could wait until the summer to sell him, but we would then have to sell him. Call me crackers, I know you will, but I think we can get £10m for him.
Willock must be sold in the next month to get anything for him. I doubt anyone will bid more than £300K and I bet we shall still be in the poo so, won't sell him. Unless Willock storms Jan (as we know he can do for one month) and gets us out of danger. Unlikely.
Field has dropped in value so, I doubt we shall even get £2m for him. If so, we could sell him for that.
Then there is Paal who is worth around £2m (I am making this all up btw) or just arrived Cannon at £1m (still making it all up). EDB, Smyth, Armstrong maybe £500K each.
And that's it, a few players are worth anything. I backed Ferindand, but as someone else said, what has he to show for it and it's true. He totally wasted the Eze money. It's all gone and Dykes was the big but to show for it. Shocking.
Meanwhile Millwall and PNE can continue to compete and Luton get in the Prem, all with less money than QPR had. There really is no excuse. |  |

Is Morocco's player set that poor that they need Chair in the squad (and they never play him anyway)? |  |

Provisional squad is 55 players, 27 will be in final squad.
Be very surprised if Chair gets in. | | | |

Absolutely no chance of getting anything for Willock. No interest in him over the past 18 months so why would there be now?
Personally I would value them at...
Paal 750k
Cannon 750k, once he's done a season in a championship.
Sinclair 250k with a sell on clause
Field, maybe 1.5m
Chair, somewhere between 3-5m
Can't see anyone else in the squad commanding a fee. |  |

He didn’t, at least for now. Our chances of staying up go from none to slim. | | | |
