As each day goes by there’s no movement. If anything was close it would be out by now

We’ll have loads of irons in the fire waiting for a domino effect of transactions.Why would it be out by now. We’re conducting our business far more professionally nowadays.

Unless that business is a blacksmiths from the sounds of it.

Fulham in talks to sign 2 wingers, so Godo will join us before the deadline I’m sure

Yeh defo just waiting for the dominos to fall on that one. The fact the bid wasn't reported as rejected but is just lingering there like a bad smell says it all really.

QPR are a mid to lower level Championship team in fairness. I know there's this thing about not listening to football fans but there is a big disparity between what i'm reading on both (Southampton and Ipswich being a similar level.) I'm just not sure what people base preferences on other than vibes at times. Edwards being one of those trendy Peterborough bunch.. personally think we were smart and got the best of them in the form of EMC.

Yep, i'd go with the experienced player from Ipswich who did well for them over the younger player who failed at Southampton.

You are right, he is trendy but how many people here have actually watched much of Edwards play?

Watched him at posh and for the England U20s. Personally wouldn’t mind either just want a CB before Monday

I’ve only seen him play a few times. Ball playing centre back, very calm in the ball, but lacks the stature to dominate in the air or the pace to cover. I can see why QPR played him CDM.

We will have watched him a lot though because of our scouting of EMC.

Don't get me wrong, he could come good after Southampton but I'm not seeing much evidence as to why he became a bit of a forum favourite. Looks like unfulfilled potential atm whereas Woolfenden has actual achievements under his belt and is well liked by his current fanbase.

Tbf I think Woolf is a better player right now at leas. Just think Edward’s could be a good back up for the future if we can’t get Wolf in due to cost.

Any news on Ipswich bringing in a CB?

it's just a trendy name to say

fair play to him if he makes a good go of it at qpr but the fact it looks like he's being shifted on so soon and qpr is the best of his offers says a lot

They were after some South American geezer but I'm not sure where that I at.

 

[shmmeee]

Woolfenden, Godo (and Chilwell) and keep MvE would be a pretty good week. If we lose MvE I hope it’s to bring in someone a bit special elsewhere.

Chilwell NFC

Chilwell NFC

…

I’m choosing to believe Chilwell as my moderate dose of pre season madness.

Just had a search, some reporting hes on the verge of signing for them. Hopefully means Woolf comes here

MacAnthony is great at marketing his players, although somewhat shit the bed this time around with most the rated ones walking for free.

 

[fernandopartridge]

QPR fans loved him last year.

Two different standards though really. We've seen how atrocious QPR are defensively, of course any half decent defender would improve them.

 

[Levship20]

…

Got to be mad to think we are even entertaining the idea of asking to loan him we can’t afford 20% of his wages! I am sure Chelsea have some sort of soft spot for Frank but to lend him to us and they pay the majority of his weekly wage is not the best bit of business, is it?
If it was out in the footballing world that Chelsea were looking to offload him in some way, I am sure a lot of prem clubs would show interest along with some parachute champ clubs.

Honestly think the dominos that are Godo and Woolf will drop, although obviously you can't be sure until done.

Me as well, at least Godo

I'm not sure Brau is going to be much better defensively than Dasilva from what we've seen so far. Positionally he looks poor and undisciplined.

Not much to go off and very early days, so may well be wrong, but he has a bit to learn before he's able to start IMO.

Brau is still adapting to football in a new country. He is still young and still relatively inexperienced. There is more chance we can improve him defensively than Dasilva, who has already had loads of game time and experience to draw off to already be better than he is. Dasilva is good going forward when we are dominating possession though. But Brau clearly has an attacking instinct, at times he just seems a bit too eager and trying to impress. Just needs to settle down a bit.

 

[TomRad85]

I've actually seen Silva say he's ready to give him his chance, although that could also mean, please buy me a new winger

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

I think posters are being a bit overly disparaging about Edwards. He showed last season he can become a decent defender at this level, he's still young and has some excellent attributes.

Returning to QPR seems like a bit of weird move but I'd expect him to do well there and push on.

I'd imagine Southampton would probably want an inflated fee though and Woolfenden has clearly got the ability and attitude we're looking for - plus he knows how to get out of Championship - which is probably more appealing from our POV.

I'm pretty sure he played in a back 4 at the CBS last season. He looked OK. Nothing special but nothing disastrous either.

And going by SofaScore, QPR mostly played him as a CB with a few games as a CDM.

 

[JSL]

Is Edwards any better than Binks was?

 

[David O'Day]

Is Edwards any better than Binks was?

probably slightly better defensively but as said seems a little undersized and not very quick - great on the ball though

<delusion>
Hes being paid off by Chelsea if he doesn’t find anywhere and might not be picked up by a PL club as he hasn’t played much recently. Lampard signed him at Chelsea and he may well want to stay local (as in England) and take a reduced contract that’s considerate of his fitness situation to get regular game time under a manager he likes who he knows likes him.

Mepham joining West Brom may enable Taylor to join Cov

 

[CovLad94]

Looks as if Fulham are closing in on a couple of wingers. Could mean Godo deal is imminent

Good signing for West Brom.

Mephams a fantastic signing

One of my mates is a WBA fan and he's always been a touch arrogant, funnily enough the one time he'd started to get a bit humbled and not fancy them, i actually think they have the best team they've had for a while
Not sure what's going on with Fellows though, i was under the impression the club still needed to sell to balance the books so not sure how they are doing this business.

Fellows and his family are baggies through and through …he is in no rush to leave

Good signing for West Brom.

He wouldn’t get In ahead of Kitch or Thomas
