I think that's the real issue. If it's the player then I'm not sure I want a mercenary. We need someone who is a bit more committed to our cause than that, even though I accept that wages will always play a part in the final decision.

I should, of course, have added that even then I will probably worry that we will get a points deduction, our ground won't meet the Premier League's requirements or clubs whose name begins with the letter "C" will be banned from being promoted.

There are several sites, probably all with a common source, saying the same. I'm pretty sure that the report of Mjallby pausing negotiations to try and get a higher price is true, as it has been very extensively reported. As to the rest, including the suggestions that Bournmouth are the new...

Here are just a couple: I feel reasonably confident that I won't happen. It sounds as if the player just wants the most money, rather than being committed to our project. Fair enough if that's his view but if so I'm not sure that I want him anyway if he's just a mercenary. We seem to have a...

That really is the issue isn't it and, to be fair to the club, they did try and get more bodies in before the summer transfer deadline closed. It's a shame Sheaf went just before the window slammed shut in our face. Lampard has made no secret of his desire to strengthen our squad and I'm sure...

It's certainly a tough game for Middlesborough, as QPR have won 4 of their last five. It's a home fixture though. I forsee a tight match: something like 1-0 Middlesborough or 1-1.

Brau? Are Dasilva and Bidwell both injured and/or ill?

I know what you mean. It takes nervous excitement to a whole new level! 😆 I only worry because it's important to me that, after about a quarter of a century, we get back where we belong. I can see our key players leaving at the end of the season if we don't get promoted and - as my 71st...

I won't stop worrying until we are ten points clear with three games to go 🤣

£5,000 per match in the away end.

All true but we surged ahead of them and have since fallen back. This is important to me, as I'm sure it is to you, and I can't help worrying. I have supported the Sky Blues since I attended my first match in 1963 at the age of eight. 62 years of supporting the club takes its toll! 🤣

Of course but, after being top for quite a while with a ten point gap, I'm worried that suddenly finding ourselves trailing Middlesborough will cause a loss of confidence and a drop in form that could see us out of the top two. I don't want to see a repeat of what happened under Tony Mowbray.

According to reports his club suspended talks with us to tout the player around other clubs to try and up the price. His agent, again reportedly, was content with this - may even have encouraged it - to try and get a better wage package.

I think it's unlikely to happen. We are being messed around too much for my liking.

Thus enabling Middlesbrough to halve the gap from ten to five points in just a few days ☹️ I don't want to see it narrowing any more, as it will halt our momentum and could lead to a loss of confidence in the squad. A good win on Saturday will be very welcome 😊 PUSB

I really hope that we can get four points out of our next two games, to get us back on track. Anything less and we risk losing further ground to Middlesbrough.

No need to get too pessimistic just yet. Just think, we haven't reached the halfway point of the season and we are already 27 points clear of the relegation zone. 👍

It can't be done until January so, at best, it can only be an agreement in principle. Like all oral agreements it isn't worth the paper that it isn't written on.

I know nothing of his agent but the messing about that caused his transfer to Olympiakos in August to fall through was - according to reports - the action of Olympiakos, who tried to drive the fee down at the last moment before the window closed.

I think you will be proven correct. The most recent rumours are that (a) Bournemouth are the new favourites and (b) Stoke have bid about €1.5 million more than us.
