I'd be surprised if Stevens was coming to warm the bench! Maybe, as some have said before Marti doesn't fancy Cannon?

Does he come under Alex Carrol's staff or Marti?

Sorry to correct you but is a Right-sided FB or at least that's where he made his debut for Wales in our last two friendlies - can play in midfield supposedly but I don't think that's his position.

Got hung out to dry in those friendlies and looks a little short of international standards at first glimpse.

Is that for coaching staff or just everyone employed by QPR?

Agree with you. Admittedly, judging on a small amount of games but Larkeche needs a loan where he's going to play as 1st choice LB - Marti seems to have used him in more of an attacking sense than as a viable alternative to Paal.

If we can pick up a lower league ready replacement and bank some profit on Paal then great - who was the English guy playing in Holland that we were keen on?

Also, we need to be mindful of those two academy graduates Leahy and the other one who might see their pathway blocked(not saying either are ready)

Given the speed in which they announced the GK coaching situation/replacement; I'd assume an appointment is imminent.

Best of luck to him! Has performed many roles in his time with us. So a new development team head coach incoming?

It'll be interesting to see what they do as ideally all three should be out on loan respectively next season - whether that is 6 months or a year?!

I'd be sending Salamon out for at least 6 months hopefully L2 or higher but contradicting myself maybe a national league side to rough him up abit.

The interesting conundrum comes with Walsh and Mahoney, I think Walsh is higher in the pecking order but do they believe he is ready to be No1 at a championship club? If not sitting on the bench all season isn't going to make him ready to be No1?

As a Welshman, I've seen Joe play a lot for the national team and wouldn't believe this particular rumor. Most of his career has been played out at L1 level and lower, for reference he's like a Josh Scowen - won't let anyone down and very committed but limited. He's been injured alot over the last year or so and struggled for regular game-time at L1 level and has been replaced by Jordan James in the international set up who has looked a different class to Joe.

I'd imagine this is just classic clickbait stuff and our scouting team will be looking at better options and maybe talent in other leagues.

I think the cleanse is a good idea, have a development core; who you hope will make it and supplement it with U18's and 1st teamers needing game time - like the old reserves used to be.

If offers have been made we need to sell him, find the best offer and negotiate sell ons bonus payments etc this is hopefully where Noury comes into life! Much has been written about his agent pushing for more money on shortish contracts.

As others have said he does have attributes but is really raw and if hes unwilling to commit after the opportunities hes been afforded then sadly its goodbye.

Bicycle stolen from work: Advice needed
at 16:47 6 Jun 2024

Thank you all for the help and advice, my work although not admitting fault or blame have agreed to contribute £300 to the cost of a new bike so given my pessimism over the situation this is probably the best result i could have hoped for.

Bicycle stolen from work: Advice needed
at 12:17 5 Jun 2024

Afternoon all,

I've seen some threads prior when people have needed advice so I thought I'd ask for help from the group! My bicycle was stolen from work on Sunday through a fire exit that had been left open. The bike has always been stored in this corridor as its been safer than leaving it outside. I've never locked it(i know this will be my downfall) as their is enough traffic through that corridor normally... and i have no other safe place to store the bike. We have CCTV of a man entering the building and 6 minutes later cycling off with my bike.

I've tried ringing CAB but was on hold for 30 odd minutes. I'm about to ring my home and contents insurer but I've already resigned myself to them not paying out and I don't believe my employer will either even though it was one of their employees that left the fire-door open.

Any advice would be welcome as I'm going to be out of pocket some £900

I think as has been mentioned it should be a cohesion of both - promote the most talented U18's while scouring talent that has been let go from other academies whilst lowering the age group for the development phase. Some might call it streamlining as we have carried too many players that aren't going to make it or you could call it creating a genuine pathway into the first team for the most talented.

So from my point of view, their isn't a one size fits all model. If you look at MC they loan out some of their players further down the pyramid and others like Foden they are on record as stating that they thought he was better off staying and training with the likes of De bruyne.

For our lot, I think we have kept some of the current crop too long knowing they arent good enough - at 20-22 if you aren't getting close to the first team or a loan at L1/L2 then you should be gone.

They need to be pushing the U18's into the development squads earlier(like Tuck) then once their sourcing suitable loans to aid their development. The gap between development and first team should be closer and has been seen isnt that close at the moment.

Choosing suitable loans aswell is equally important so they get gametime in a team playing a suitable style. Didnt we send Mcnulty(might be his name) to Crawley and he didn't play!
