Tbf didn't Adebola go out on loan at a not particularly young age and came back 10x the player. Not saying that would happen with Dacosta though.

He needs proper one to one coaching and instruction probably with a French speaker, a loan spell won't change the missing fundamentals. Maybe we could rehire Max as a translator

Would be very impressed if he came back a bulldozing centre forward.

I think he could genuinely be asked to play anywhere with the same result

Cambridge injury crisis in defence, capt and main stay cb out for a while amongst other injuries. Gonna put 2 and 2 together here and say Drysdale could go back there on loan in league 1. Would be a good opportunity for him to impress.

I’m just as concerned about Hamer and O’Hare exiting this window. They have both got off to great starts…..

Completely with you on this. Would happily bring no more players in if it guaranteed Hamer & O'Hare remain here after the window closes. Losing one of them (particularly O'Hare) would have the same deflating effect on our season as when McSheffrey went to Blues, having had a good start that season too.

He is a right back which to me sounds strange unless he can play Left and Right

Erm... "He received a seven-game ban and £6,000 fine in May for directing abusive language towards’ Brentford’s Sergi Canos."

Looks like a racial incident... PASS

Todd Kane: QPR defender banned for seven games for using 'discriminatory' language to Sergi Canos - BBC Sport

QPR's Todd Kane is banned for seven games for using language referencing nationality and ethnicity against Brentford's Sergi Canos.

I think Sheaf and Hamer are growing a presence quite well, I think all we need is someone young who can play 3rd fiddle while we wait for Eccles and Kelly, of whom would be content to be 5th choice to a degree.

No it doesn't, but it also suggests he's probably not best suited there.

Thats true though just because someone has never/hardly played a position doesn’t mean they don’t know how

phil Neville hardly ever played left back for Everton due to establishing himself in centre mid and Leighton Baines being around, but whenever he played there for Man Utd he did a good job. Could just be that Kane has the versatility just qpr havent required him to use it.

Yes but, correct me if I'm wrong, you aren't/weren't a professional footballer being paid thousands of pounds to play that position properly as your job.

We were also told Da Costa could fill in at left back so I'm not convinced? He doesn't seem a good fit for us, particularly with his disciplinary issues so I hope this is yet another baseless rumour.

What do we think then? Got to be lots of players available out of contract and others clubs will be looking to off load who won’t play.
Quite excited
