On his way to us apparently for a 12-month loan deal. He's a defensive midfielder who was highly rated before getting badly injured and being out for 11 months.
Exclusive: We can reveal that Luke Amos will head to #QPR on a season long loan deal. This will be Luke’s first full season at that level and will enable him to get some much needed minutes after missing the last 11 months with injury. Good luck Luke. ✅ pic.twitter.com/oDZrG0XiuM

Well, obviously i'm a hypocrite, so i couldn't care less about us loaning players to somebody else. That's QPR exploiting another team, so no problem.
Isn't it obvious, though, it'd be better for every fan by a million miles if there was a squad cap and zero loans? Remember, football operated for over a hundred years without them. We do all of this stuff, thereby ruining football in the long term, just for a negligible short term benefit. Basically, it's just to help the big teams get bigger. Better to die with dignity. I think people don't appreciate results aren't everything. I love watching young QPR boys out there on the pitch fighting for us. I love that, win or lose. Watching Paul Smyth, Kakay, Darnell, Lumley and Scowen lose would give me greater pleasure than watching a team of Chelsea loanees winning but not really giving a sh!t. I know i'd be outvoted 100-1, but i'm confident it's the correct view to hold, but then i rarely view the world like regular people seem to. I don't even own a mobile phone. I think they've ruined football at the moment, or they have for me. None of our good players we sell on even get a bloody game, it's a tragedy really.
To me, the most important thing is that we play in hoops, but people actually laugh at that idea. I find that outlook genuinely puzzling. We're being literally mugged off and treated like their b!tch, but people bend over to take it. That's never been my way. Different strokes i guess.
A slight over reaction i suppose, but them i'm an emotional Celt. Might have been better just to say 'i'm not keen on loan signings' and leave it at that. And good luck to the lad. I certainly don't blame him any of this. Reading the quotes, sounds good as well. But he's a Spurs player. It's not a signing.

Warburton hasn't ever and will never play 4-4-2 touchline wingers crossing in. So the lines between strikers and midfielders are already blurred.
Smyth is more of a inside-forward type in my view, and Wheeler (if he has any future with us) has played and was indeed bought with that brief intention. Bright would be another one I'd expect to see off the striker.
If it were twenty years ago Smyth would be a Michael Owen type case closed, but now no one plays with those. (Same way they don't play floating 10s or seven foot target men of course...)
Yes, I agree that the lines are blurred and Warburton isn't a 442 man. I was working on a 4231 set up, which is why I included the wide players as midfielders. It could of course be a 433 in which case they would be more like inside forwards but then I'm not sure where Eze fits in and we could get overrun/outnumbered in midfield.
I suppose fluid and flexible are the key words.

There's also a weird line in that post about football existing for 100 years without loans. I've never known football not to have loan signings.
I can't remember any loans before the '80's at the earliest Antti. It would be interesting for anyone in the know to post who & when our first loan signing was.
Up till then, certainly in the '60's, many clubs had a minimum of three teams at adult level. The first team played in the Football League, the reserves in the Football Combination (or northern equivalent) & the A Team in keagues like the Metropolitasn League or the Eastern Counties League. Therefore, no loans took place & maybe they weren't allowed.
Mind you, the club had a lot more say than the players as to who they played for in those days! Especially prior to the George Eastham legal case.

Stinker. I'd rather we didn't play other teams players players in our team. Why should i be expected to take pleasure watching a fcuking Spurs youngster gaining experience p!ssing around playing for QPR? It's a fcuking insult imo. Buy him? Great. Loan him, no, fcuk right off.
All of the small teams should shake hands and agree to say fcuk that, let your 900 young players rot. This little sh!t gonna take Josh Scowen's place? Disgusting, makes me sick to my stomach, i don't want him. Why isn't there a squad limit? American football teams have less players than Chelsea or Spurs.
If he does as well as Kyle Walker i'll be quick to change my mind, but that still doesn't mean deep inside i'm happy with it, it just means i'm shallow and hypocritical. Integrity and honour should be considered more important than league position imo. So far, i've been disappointed with every single thing that's happened since we've signed Warburton. I hate bankers. Sigh. Hope he proves me wrong and i've no right to be judging before we've even played a match, but if i'm watching Spurs players, to be honest i'm not sure i care any more. It gets harder and harder to understand why we bother with it all. And that fcuking away shirt. It's like they're doing everything to drive me away. I would not be a QPR fan today if i' d seen them play in that shirt as a child. I'm only still here because i know Clive would miss me :-)

Look at the impact Mount and Wilson had at Derby last season.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)
