I think the point is though that KR himself identified and mentioned the need for more power and strength in the team and - as yet - we haven't really added that type of player. Still, the window isn't closed for a few days, so we'll see.
Grebo! There's one I haven't heard for a while now!! I used to call my Grandad grebo back in the 70's, he didn't know what it meant but he went along with it bless him!!
I just don't think Karl can change his outlook that much, even though he did say that. He always defaults to the same sort of player, who have made us a great team although one that can be bullied. But maybe we'll be surprised.
I was thinking the same! He’s been MOTM in virtually every game, that won’t have gone unnoticed
I suspect you are right. There are definitely Robinson 'type' players and he is fairly wedded to one way of playing - and it's not unreasonable to think he could identify problems with that but not want to throw the baby out with the bathwater by making signings/changes which might make us less effective over all, even if a bit more resilient.
I have some concerns about this!
Obviously you and @Sarge don't have fat fingers so spare a thought to those of us who have…..well I know of one who does
No we’re not
Think the buy out clause is the figure whether there is any scope for a higher amount I’ve no idea but think KR would have a sizeable figure in mind.
Evolutions of the Babbage Difference Engine - now THAT was a machine.
And what was that?
He was probably impressed by someone who said 'as a matter of fact'. 'College ponce', he thought to himself.Grebo! Haven’t heard that term for yonks!
I remember in the late 80’s a minivan full of Milwall grebos pulled up outside headington post office as I was emptying the letterbox (ex postman).
This one skinhead jumped out and ran over to me “ere mate, where’s the manor ground?”
I duly pointed the way and as he ran back to the van, he stopped turned around and shouted. “you ain’t an Oxford fan are ya’?”
“Er, as a matter of fact…I am!” I replied.
Quite why I said it I have no idea.
I am no hooligan or some kind of trouble lover. I have thought about it a lot ever since… Bloody stupid remark that could have got me a leathering.
Luckily he just shrugged and told me to f**k off, climbed back on the bus and it kangarooed off up the london rd.
Bloody Grebos!
If there's a buy out figure in his contract and someone meets it, isn't it then up to the player. I have suspicion this is why KR has made comments like "unless someone tells me they want to leave" and the "were ready to move quickly in the window" we would be in the same position as we were with Fosu. I'm afraid Cam would be doing himself a disservice if he doesn't move up a level.
Surely you can see the lack of cover at the back and how that needs addressing. lcp was well out of his depth, made errors and was sussed by the Qpr players from the first minute.
"If required", sounds frightening, as if he will bring people in only if he feels he needs to. Surely, he must be able to see the gaping areas that need addressing?
