Leon Balogun interview - Just before Beale left. on 22:10 - Dec 6 by aston_hoop
Sorry 1 1/2 hours on that lot north of the border. No ta, I'm out. Leon is signed to QPR and not to the PBBC. If he wants to f-off back there, off you pop mate as long as they pay. His was a pointless signing and has potentially devalued Dickie and Dunne, so either knuckle down and get back to the form you showed at the start of your deal or fck off. I care not which, but just do it.
The PBBC has gone. Deal with it and push this club forward as per your contract.

Bits about QPR are the first 20 mins.
I haven't listened to the rest after approx 35 mins. To be fair from what I listened to its not about him itching to go back.
Smells like a trout farm in here

I think one of Beales legacies is that he has made patience with the signings he is associated a little bit thinner. Which is not their fault in fairness.

TBF I didn't have a lot of patience with this one to begin with.
We should not be signing 34-year-olds to play in front of sellable assets just because the manager is their chum.

My view on Beale's recruitment from what I have seen in action. Paal - Good Laird - Good Iroegbunam - Good Clarke-Salter - Average Roberts - Average Richards - Average Balogun - Average
Personally not bothered by Balogun's future, dump as soon as if not interested. We need to ensure we get Dunne and Dickie properly back together, be lucky to see Clarke-Salter ever complete more than 2 games in a row. Roberts body language in games seem to show a lack of interest, but that might just be his style. Richards spent more time on the treatment table and to be honest has looked underwhelming when he has played, hope we go nowhere near his £4m option to buy, which we can't afford anyway.

It's Roberts who has the £4m price tag, but I believe it was on condition of promotion.
I don't think a price was mentioned with Richards, who I'm prepared to give more time to as he's not played a great deal. I was quite impressed with his game v Livingston, even though they were poor opponents.

I've still got very high hopes for him. Good age and price, lot of development potential, just needs to get fit.
I think that's the problem, he won't ever get fit ... well not for us anyway. This reeks of another Sturridge. This in and out really disrupts the defence and no one will want to buy him anyway.
As for the rest ...
Paal - Awesome, not as good as Wilson, but slowly getting there.
Laird - Very good, but we cannot buy him the more he performs so, short term fix.
Iroegbunam - Awesome, you see hoe they rave about Bellingham, well this is the Championship version of that (not as great of course). Probably zero chance of being able to buy him.
Clarke-Salter - Just not fit and block the route of Dunne and Dickie.
Roberts - Poor, he's on big wages and supposed to be a Prem striker class. When has played he's scored less than Dykes and is not as effective against the bigger teams in the Champ. For that sort of wedge, we can do better. Luckily we won't get promoted and have to buy him. I bet the new manager sends him back.
Richards - Need to see more of him, but another loanee that if he does come good we cannot afford again.
Balogun - Very good, impressed by him, noticeable we had clean sheets when he came into the team. But hes old and therefore we cannot rely on him long term. Also blocks the paths of Dunne and Dickie again.
So, Beale brought us 1 great player (LB) which we desperately needed, 2 good loans and 1 golden oldie. 4 players. I can see why Les and Hoo's though, thanks for the players that QPR needed, and thanks for some nice coaching and possibly some money from GR, now we can recruit the next manager and do the same.
If, the next manager does the same, with decent coaching and 4 new quality players of which 2 will be perm, then doing ga Watford could be a game changer. The manager comes in, gives us players, moves out for the next manager to do the same and so on. Is this the new modern football? Gives us the players that you know about and then move on.

I think Richards is pretty much a done deal and for pennies - obviously not ITK but that was the chat when he came on loan, basically kicking the can down the road for FFP. All his highlights' reals (you tube i know!) and from his time at Doncaster (i think) suggest that there is a decent player their if we can get him fit - maybe an alternative to Illy/willy.
Its such an unknown market that we are shopping in and trying to polish up rough diamonds, for every Chair/ Eze/ Willock we have a Thomas who sadly isn't up to it at this level!
