Just tweeted that the medical has gone fine and on his way to Loftus Road to sign the contract |  | | |  |

Some were still moaning vociferously with regards to playing Dunne late into the season even though he'd been one of our best players.
Its typical of todays fans who can't help but turn on a player as soon as he hits a poor spell of form.
I'm not overly happy with this signing but its only a year so we must have learnt something.
However if we're paying him 50 grand a week,we must be absolutely barking! |
Chubbs, I think in fairness most (though not all, I grant you!) were saying Dunne should be rested rather than dropped for good. He looked shagged. |  |

How have we got lots of bodies , Clint, Ehmer, Onouha, Dunne. |
if we sign Caulker we will have 6 people to fill 2 CB positions
although we shouldn't really pretend Harry will ever give Ehmer a chance I suppose |  |

Harry on SSN stated we will be looking to play a back 3 this coming season.
A 3 of Onouha - Ferdinand - Caulker looks good on paper. |  |

It's a good signing, it's a year so no long term tie in, he's a very good defender even if he has lost some pace. He's a big name so will hopefully help attract others and from what I've seen he talks sense , pleased with this especially as he'll play in a 3 . | | | |

I am in favour of the Rio Ferdinand signing and welcome him to the club. From what I've heard he has been very honourable about his dealings with the club and irrespective of any other factors he has said from the start he would join QPR and hasn't gone round touting his services to any club that would want him and I think there are many.
If our medical is sufficiently stringent and he has passed it without issues, then there is no reason why he can't play an important part this season. Yes he is 35, but he has quality and integrity and I believe he will commit to the club in a way that some of our previous signings of this type did not. From what I've seen of him he only knows how to play by giving his best and I hope he enjoys doing that at QPR. |
Totally agree, we go on about mercenaries and rightly so as we've had a few, but the bloke has signed a 1 year deal when I am sure he could have got much more on a longer deal abroad.
Clearly he wants to play prem football so that should say something about his desire and attitude.
Top signing, as much for what he brings to the dressing room if nothing else, although agree with later post the kit looks shocking!!
I wonder if some of our fans have learnt anything as you cannot compare him to Mbia Park etc.. | | | |

Very interesting to see how the 5 at the back work. I think it lends itself to us with Traore and Yun.
Then Surly Barton would hold and have others playing off him.
...................Green
.............Neds Rio Caulker
Simpson...............................Yun
....................Barton
......Faurlin...............Granero
...............Adel/New?
...................Remy
Looks a creative, but also strong defensively. Not sure how Hoilet and Phillips would be used... maybe in the Adel/Morrison role. |  |

Yeah Brian i know,i was just voicing my feelings toward the minority who thought it acceptable to write Dunne off only for him to resurrect some brilliant form through the playoffs defending our goal like his life depended on it. |  | | |

if remy stays two up top with Austin. Maybe Phillips playing more central behind the strikers. He showed he could do that. If remy goes I would have 3 up top with Austin, Phillips and one other. Three at the back, two holding in midfield and then wing backs. Simpson, Traore/Yun | | | |

Pretty sure Dave McIntyre said on twitter or in an article recently that it was a basic wage of £35k with some more based on appearances etc.
Much more inclined to believe him.
Ferdinand could be ok. United fans I know don't think he's half the player he once was but think that he would certainly offer something in terms of organisation. It's not the direction I'd like to see Redknapp & co. go with transfers, but if it's a 1 off I can certainly see their rationale.
A CB partnership of him and Onuoha (or Caulker/Lascalles) doesn't actually sound too bad. I fear for us if Ferdinand ever plays with Dunne or Hill though. |
Still think we need Caulker or Lascelles as they are young and will improve further under Ferdinand. Nedum is 28 in November, there won't be much room for improvement. |  | | |

I remember Harry saying around this time last year that we'd be 'playing through Tom Carroll'.
Best laid plans etc. |  |

I think hardly anyone 'wrote Dunne off' - the fact was he should have been rested when he was clearly knackered earlier in the season and when Onuoha was sitting on the bench doing nothing, or Hill was playing left back when we had Yun available. It was more about sensible rotation than anything. I don't remember anyone writing him off. He just had a very, very poor spell and clearly needed a break.
Had Harry done that and given Yun an earlier run he might have been happier to pitch Yun in during the play-offs when it was clear he was what was needed. | |

Disagree Antti,there were some on here who commented he was finished and that we'd made a mistake signing him in the 1st place.
Doesn't matter now as he proved a few wrong and was our best defender through the playoffs. | | | |
