Vorm, Davies, Dier, Fazio and Stambouli.

I just wish we weren't so haphazard in our purchases. Like not concentrating on one specific area where an identified weakness was ...

Agree but not completely.

We are a bit boring and predictable in attack

Farewell Sandro! :cry:

Which avatar should i choose next? I had AVB before this one and i think it was VDV and/or Benny before that. Maybe Townsend for the sake of the club? ;)

Nobody replied to me earlier...

Which ITK stated that QPR had no money?

Vaguely happy with this window.

Loris/verts new deals.

No major loses apart from Sandro (fan fave, but looks like he needs a fresh start- no one big in for him that we know of)

3 strikers for one spot isn't hat bad- I agree we could have done with an extra in place of one but I would expect Soldado to improve this year. He has been a quality striker for years and just needs a goal or two.

We need some time to bed in the new system/players before we know for sure but I am more positive for this year than last.

I personally would have been a bit disappointed with wellbeck for 16m, even though I do think he is quite good, just not what we need.

Last year spoiled us , we all want some big signings to crow about! We just don't necessarily need what we can afford...

All just IMHO- fingers crossed I'm right though yeah?

Looks like we've run out of ITK so byeeeeeee.....

I agree, and in Jan we can have another go at the window. Rodriguez will be fit, and maybe we go back for him and MS. We're in the shadows of the 60k stadium guys, so we just have to be realistic and patient.

I'm confused as to where we're going as a club.

In the past we were at least chasing world famous talents and pipe dreams.

Now we can't even seem to snap up the Remy's, Welbeck's and Jay Rodriguez's of this world.

We need to seriously up our game both on and off the football field.

Remy and JR have both got serious questions over health in one way or another. Welbeck is on 100K a week. Which he would want to have a rise of wages. To match the transfer fee and current wages over 5 years (like other recent signings) would be 41m actual GBP for a player that we can't even agree on this forum is good enough. 41m!!!!

Vorm, Davies, Dier, Fazio and Stambouli.

Vorm, we can't play two goalies.
Davies, second choice left back.
Dier, promising youngster, can't be relied on this season.
Fazio, an unknown entity at this stage and we don't know if his lack of pace will be an issue.
Stambouli, another player that might need a season to settle.

So a weakness was having bought players with no PL experience, and the only two of our signings that have been realistically brought in for the first XI are exactly that - players with no PL experience.

If we fail to sign a decent player in the next 40 minutes, I think it's safe to say that 'Levy Time' is a total fallacy.

Personally I don't think this window has been bad at all. We locked down Verts and Lloris to new contracts, Lamela is showing what he can do, almost like a new signing. To many new faces can be a bad thing, I hope Poch can get the best of who we have.

Every transfer window, the BSoL roll out the same tired old excuses as to why our amazing chairman was right not to invest in those areas of the team that badly needed it. It's either the selling club's fault for jerking us around, or that we just ran out of time and we'll be back to close the deal in January, or that all the either club's are wrong for paying over the odds, or that he doesn't trust his manager's evaluation....

We had our chance to cement our place as a top 4 club when we reached the Champions League QFs under Redknapp, but Levy wouldn't/couldn't/didn't get the striker that we badly needed. Haven't been in the CL since, and it's looking less and less likely with every passing season. Soon, we'll be grateful just to finish in the top six.

Even last summer, the Levy devotees on this forum blindly believed that we had a great transfer window, even though the club actually had a negative net transfer spend. And how did those signings work out? How many of them looked the part against Liverpool on Sunday? Yeah, but sure, let's blame that on Baldini... or AVB.... or maybe even Sherwood. Anyone but Levy.

ITK? Same old Levy, same old excuses, same old Spurs.

Not been an entirely bad day, one of the sky sports mongs got slapped round the face with a dildo and someone asked Jim White, on twitter, 'have you ever punched a horse so hard it shat itself?'

Gutted about Sandro but let's not pretend he's the beast he once was.

I'm delighted to have joined QPR FC and look forward to working with Harry Redknapp again.

I'd like to thank Tottenham Hotspur for everything they've done for me. Spurs has been my home since I moved to England and I loved every minute of my time there. To the fans; I'll always have a special relationship with you and can't begin to express how much your support has meant to me, particularly in tough times when I was injured.

I can't wait to get started at QPR now and look forward to wearing the famous hoops for the first time ‪#‎COYRS‬

I can't believe MP didn't see a player he could improve in Sandro. He has improved so many players at saints Sandro seemed to have all the ingredients to be a great player! I'll miss the crazy ninja bastard :(
