Spurs were crap and I know they have injuries but starting Spence in midfield and Archie Gray at right back seemed mad, Gray must have played right back, left back and cenre half tonight, I wonder if they realise he's a midfield player. |

Sander Berge is so much more phyiscal , dominates the midfield, they couldn't be more different in style |

I'm sure they do it on purpose becasue they know it winds people up
Lampard doing alright at Coventry though, they are flying at the moment |

The big learning from the summer window has to be you can't only go on data, you need a balance between data and old fashioned scouting
The problem we always have is whenever we spend money like a few million it's usually wasted and our record at signing strikers is so poor. If we can offload Madsen in the summer and get some money back we've done well. |

one thing I think the club should do now is get an interview with Dunne on the site becasue I genuinley think he's going to get some stick from some fans next time he plays |

There is no way we were going to turn down 2million, it must have been as you say small fee up front and add ons which makes sense for them but does nothing for us.
Much Like JCS, if a good offer was on the table we'd have sold him.
This was always one of those deals where if we sell for that fee great everyone wins and if we don't thats a pretty good outcome for us as well. [Post edited 3 Feb 22:55]

That seems a bit of a leap, how do we know Dunne now won't sign a contract?
All that has happened is a club have bid for him and we turned it down.
So much noise and bullshit around all this |

depends on structure of deal, if they offered 2 million up front no doubt we'd have taken it but if it's add ons etc with a small initial fee not sure it's worth taking |

He's bang in form and could make the difference in the next 3 months so can see why Sheff Utd want him now, I don't think this deal is there in the summer unless they blow promotion |

I'm sure there are differences on both sides which is why it hasn't been done yet which is pretty normal but I don't think there was a huge panic on either side that it needs to be done quickly. If he ends up staying I still think he'll sign before the end of the season but if the deal is anything near £2million up front the club have to take it
I've given Nourry some stick on here but have to say I'm pleased he hasn't folded and appears to be holding out for as much money as we can get here |

complacenecy probably not the best word to use but I don't think either party would have been too concerned going into this window, I think without this offer he'd have agreed a new deal before the end of the season but we'll never know
I don't dount it would be more money on a free for him but I just don't think it's huge amounts and at this stage of his career a chance to play in a side fighting for promotion with a realistic chance of going up if not this year then next year has to be a massive appeal for him
If it goes through I think it's a really good deal for both QPR and for Jimmy Dunne |

Kenneth Paal is out of contract this summer and there is no sign of him signing either
I just think they were talking about a new deal but were in no rush to complete it, as good as Dunne has been he's unlikely to be getting a massive signing on fee this summer on a free, he'd be moving to another championship team if that happens. I don't think money is the main motivation here, this is a very big opportunity for Dunne to get a promotion on his cv and play in the premier league, one that might not come along again, thats why he'll be keen to go. |

I don't mean complacent as in we'll leave that another month or they forgot I just think both sides would have expected it to be agreed at some point but there was no rush.
If Sheffield United don't get a few injuries and they beat Hull last week I'm not sure they would have come in for him |

I just think with Willock those contract negotiations were going on 2 years and thats why he got a bit more stick and really that was only on here and social media, at games he had his name sung most weeks.
Fans were sing feck Jimmy Dunne on Saturday, never heard anything like that about Willock
Dunne is just very different situation, as a club we were trying to sell him this time last year.
I don't think anyone expected other clubs to want to spend a few million on Dunne, I love him but its insane to spend this kind of money on a player they'll be looking to offload if they go up.
I doubt he expected it either and my personal view is the club were a bit complacent on getting him signed early and were not 100% sure about him last summer which is why they only did the 1 year. I may be wrong on that but just the feeling I get and can't say i 100% blame them really as not sure many of us expected him to play as well as he has this season. [Post edited 3 Feb 11:28]
