He spent much of last summer trying to get the Burnley and Sunderland jobs… |

Football is an extremely small world, and anyone doing their due diligence on Kakay is inevitably going to be told that he rejected the chance to play football, preferring to see out his contract - the reasons behind it that are entirely understandable as a fellow new dad will be deemed irrelevant.
The same club would also be watching his tape from 2023/24 when he was costing us a goal a game and it’s going to scare most off. Some good games in prior seasons are going to carry less weight as you’re always only ever as good as your last game. |

One thing I’ve struggled to reconcile is that Hamalainen, who every manager who ever had him said was actually a good player but who shook like a shitting dog when actually on the pitch was always willing to go out on loan and live out of a suitcase to free up money for the club to spend elsewhere, and became a figure of ridicule for it.
Kakay, who was told by Cifuentes in no uncertain terms that he was done, whose wages were desperately needed to replace him with and whose replacement was literally in a meeting room while we begged him to go, refused, costing us a much needed reinforcement and is apparently a great guy who many would have back…
Now of course, living in a 7* hotel in LA or Copacabana Beach on Textors dime, meeting a new girl from Raya every night is hardly going over the top at the Somme, i struggle to see the two in the same way. |

Anyone with any interest in signing him is going to ask around and be told he refused to go out on loan and play last season, and watching the tape will immediately see his mental collapse at Millwall last season.
Predicted this time last year he would be lucky to get a deal at Bromley and tbh at this point he would be lucky to get a deal with Borehamwood. |

Feel a bit bad for the kid, brought from playing winger in the Portuguese leagues and asked to come and play Oakland A’s football as a RB in the Championship was always likely to be a hiding to nothing.
Will in all likelihood be someone we get a thread on in a few years asking why we let him go when he’s looking good back in the Portuguese league but ultimately there’s more chance of Cifuentes playing half the posters on here so the club needs to move him on and recover whatever they can. |

Not really *that* surprising.
The goal for crazy Rubes is still promotion every season, so being within touching distance of the playoffs at the end of January = more blood. If they could spend £20m in January they would do it. Getting promoted is the only way Rubes gets his prices to sell.
(No I don’t believe for a second we are finishing anywhere but lower mid table) |

It’s all a bit Brexit football. Some of the divisions best players sat on the bench so that he can get some more hard working local lads shoehorned in |

There is a simple reason for that, which Gallen knows full well. A ‘proven’ striker in January would set you back £10m+ which are waters QPR haven’t fished in for many years. |

Interesting with Taarabt that he did Onouha’s podcast a few years back and was very introspective about how he had sabotaged his own career and had only put the dots together when dumped into the benfica reserve team with 18 year olds. It seemed like he had finally grown up.
Getting kicked out of a club at going on 36 suggests that infact it was all a ruse and he’s still the same guy he always was. |

Nobody is buying Eze, especially not for anything close to £60m |

As to the question, obviously a tactical change and the right one to make - Hull were not causing trouble down the sides, everything was coming through the middle, exploiting the chasms of space left by the Leaning Tower of Madsen. Getting Colback on for the final 5 to swing a leg at anything that moved was a smart move. |

He’s only at the club in the first place because Santos is so far off the required standard that we had to go out and get another RB. |

Don’t think he’s out of contract this summer but as posted in the thread claiming he was a cnt, it’s definitely a trial of sorts and as Cifuentes likes him I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up going permanent already at the end of the month, especially so if Reuben has someone else he would like to punt our way. |

Absolutely zero impact. As with everyone else I have fond memories of the FA Cup but nobody within football gives two shits anymore.
The older lads will have gone straight from the training ground to meet the Mrs for an expensive dinner the younger lads straight to a club and today they’ll have forgotten about it already. |

He’s fine. Neither particularly good, nor particularly shit, isn’t costing anything financially and Cifuentes likes him. Wouldn’t be surprised if we took him permanently. |
