Updates to follow - keep hitting refresh....
28 mins late, in on crutches. Looks tanned and happy. Less baggy chopped.
Now just sort of sitting there, nobody saying anything, bit awkward.
Every club has problems, we've made changes, brought a couple of new players in, starting to take shape, looking forward to it, going to be a great year at QPR.
Don't see why we're favourtes, we're putting a new team together. Tough league, triffic teams, 7 or 8 excellent teams, few surprise packets as well like Hull, Palace. never easy. Very tough. We'll be right there.
Need people with right attitude, Sat Tue Sat Tue every week. Need people who can cope with the rigours of that.
Followed Charlie Austin since his Hungerford and Poole days. Scores goals, fantastic finisher. Amazing last year. Great in the air, great potential, keeps improving every year, the sky is the limit, who knows what he could be in a few years. Not impossible for Charlie Austn to play for England one day. Have a look at the lad Lambert, what a player, Grant Holt came out the lower divisions. Scoring goals is a special talent, he's got that, he'll score in any division.
Never had a problem with his knee. Had an op on it when he was 14 never had a problem since that day. Gamble. I had Julian Dicks at WHam, fantastic, would never pass a medical. Ricardo Fuller the same at Pompey, never misses a day's training but would never pass a medical. Charlie's knee isn't as good as it should be but it doesn't give him a problem.
demba Ba has a bad knee, doesn't trouble him.
No idea on fee, Phil Beard handles that, less than he was going to Hull for.
COMMENCE GARETH BALE WNKATHON
Joey Barton not a minute's trouble, trying hard, training hard, played well for Marseille, if he's good enough he'll play.
Cesar, world class keeper, played for Brazil in Confed Cup, could play for any team in thw world, doesn't want to play Championship, up to somebody to come in and buy him.
Adel, great ability, if he wants to leave somebody has to pay money. If they want to loan him pay the going right. He can turn a team round when his mind is right. Yesterday was the first time he's trained since second day of the summer. Could stay and play and get us promoted, or somebody might take him.
If Remy is going on loan, we paid £8m and gave him a four year deal, if somebody wants to loan him then pay us £2m. He'll get 15-20 goals next year in the Prem if he goes there. Top class player. Probably play for Brazil in the world cup (I bet he doesn't).
We move on from Bosingwa. They've gone. History. Excited about this season, we're putting a team together here that will be a fantastic team. 2 or 3 weeks away but we'll have a team here that excites people.
Good lads, not a minute's problem. Excited about new season. Two or three weeks we'll be even more excited.
Colombian player mentioned, watched him play last week against Atletico Madrid, big lad, powerful, goalscorer. Possibly. Not sure about the situation. One of several options.
I want to get promoted this year. I don't see that we're favourites. Champ full of big clubs. We're not Man City or Man Utd or Tottenham. Lots of big clubs, Forest, European Cup, little boys, in the park, jumpers for goal posts.
Not good enough last year. We finished last because we lacked quality. Mark couldn't get anything out of them, I couldn't get much out of them. No quality.
Steve McClaren is triffic.
Board giving it a go. New pitch, new dressing room, training ground. I'm trying to bring players in here that will blow people's minds if I get em. We're pushing on, if people want to come with us then great, we're going places.
I don't know what a Twitter is.

HR - Joey's been training. He's been good as gold. Not a minutes problem for me. If he's good enough to play, he'll play. #QPR |
HR - I wouldn't be sure if Joey will be here beyond the end of the transfer window, but if he's good enough, he'll play for us #QPR |  | | |

Yes everyone will just treat everything he says with a pinch of salt but he did seem genuinely opitimistic about next season.
As I said earlier this week, Sept 2 will tell us what sort of squad we will have, lile the idea of 2/3 players that will excite the fans (well the ones that don't come on here anyway!  )
Looking forward to 3.00pm , tomorrow!
MUST do some work now! |  | | |

Good signing. |
I was being a bit sarcastic there, he may well prove to be a good signing. I quite liked the look of him so far.
I know HR is a bullshitter and he knows the old journalism game well but when he speaks like he did there alluding to big signings whilst remaining fairly realistic about our chances (dont understand why we are favourites etc), it does help quell some of the apprehenasion.
Of course none of it matters come 3pm tomorrow, but for now, I feel almost excited. | |

A good start is so bloody important this year. Win a few in August and we'll be unstoppable. |  | | |

West Ham couldn't get a WP for him, so I can't see how we can magically get one either. | | | |

have to agree, if we start off with wins in first two we can get into some sort of momentum and will get the winning bug | |

Tony's going to emply him as a steward and make sure he's in England when we have a game. HOwever, irrespective of the WP issue, why mention it publically and get other clubs thinking about him? |  |

"I'm trying to bring players in that will blow peoples' minds, believe you me." |
Gary O'Neill is certainly mind blowing. | | | |

Failed to get a WP for the PL. Seems legit that he'd now get one for the Championship. | | | |

I think the point is he doesnt have to answer every bloody question.
No harm no foul though really, he only mentioned him as one of a number of options.
West Ham pulled out after WP issues so I dont see us working around that unless we can prove he will maybe be a bigger talent in a lower league than we can get in this country. Nice that we are looking beyond the premier league 2005 sticker book though. | |

BTW the fee West Ham agreed for Zapata was reportedly in the region of £7m. Would be a serious signing.
Edit: but he apparently couldn't get a work permit so I don't know what HR's on about really. [Post edited 2 Aug 2013 11:25]

Which Zapata is it?The defender who plays for AC Milan or the striker who turns out for Estudiantes - both Colombian. |  |
