I like him, think he's got potential. Stats very similar to Stansfield in L1 last season. Anyone looks good when your only options are Patson Shanker and a 33 year old Ayew though.

Not even one rumour about this guy?

At his absolute peak he was probably one of the best ball winners in Europe under Puel and Rodgers. After the title when we were at our strongest 2019-2021 and he played a big part in that. Tough in the tackle and an absolute athlete. Unlike a lot of players in this current squad. He's earned his dough.

Wish him well.

Messes up his own chance when he's clean through, then clatters into McAteer and ruins that one as well. Two chances ruined in one move. Levels.

Vestergaard getting nutmegged to the surprise of no one.

In Marti we trust!

ABDUL IS BACK.

Depressing as hell reading that lineup.

Our problem is getting rid of overpaid, underperforming squad. We really need to sell a few before the end of the window. That said I’m happy with Marti. He wants us to play attacking football and I like what I’ve seen and heard from him so far. Let’s hope he does well and can help the players enjoy their football again. I also hope he creates an environment where our young players can get lots of opportunities to play and impress and flourish. If he manages that it’ll be a great start and I'll be on board

Sell. He's a headless chicken who cost us a massive amount of points last season

It should be no more than 2 years. But I'd find it hard to argue with signing him. 18 goals as a midfielder is tremendous. Think all of our Central Midfielders plus Daka and Ayew combined might struggle to get that

Have they not had a preseason?

Vestergaard Coady and Winks look completely uninterested.

Didn't see the goals. Just turned it on 5 mins ago, we can't seem to get near the ball...

I don't disagree he played a role but we still massively overpaid

He's most likely to see out his contract, by the end of which he'll have cost us around £43 million with the price we paid for him + wages. I'd argue he's our worst ever signing, worse than Slimani, Adrien Silva and Perez for me. We've signed many underwhelming flops but he just tops the lot I'm afraid.

He's 100% going. Too good to play in the Championship and we need to cash in anyway sadly. I've made peace with it already. It's just a case of when and where.

Hopefully he's the right man and does a good job. What's encouraging is QPR fans all seem to rate him highly, and anyone willing to pay half their own compensation to come here deserves our full support! There's a lot that needs sorting because the squad we've got is too big which means the wage bill is too high. And there's a lot of players I really would like to see the back of. Really hope he clears enough space so that some of our academy players get their chance to shine this season.

Literally seen him play once and that was against us. He was good that day though, I must admit

This ****er here yet?

paying the price for years of bad senior management

Seems to have a clear way of playing and track record of developing young players - massive ticks for me. Has obviously already worked under a tight budget. Has experience in Spain, Norway, Sweden so we could tap into those foreign markets. Now time for people to rally behind him Hopefully he’s not afraid to make tough calls - move on some of the deadwood and sort of the 'do what you want' culture at Seagrave.

No manager comes without risk obviously but there’s stuff like about Cifuentes. Notably the fact QPR were bottom, struggling massively and on a six game losing streak when he took over. He still managed to keep them up. Seems to have a clear way of playing and keen on developing younger players. When it clicks like that 4–0 against Leeds you can see the potential (I remember watching that thought they were fantastic). I don't know a huge amount about him but i'm cautiously optimistic
