The whole episode seems a bit weird. We were meant to have offered him 42k pw plus a 2m bonus for staying up then in todays SLP they say that we're hoping to get permission to speak to him this week. Next thing he signs for QPR. Seems like we have never spoken to the fella. I feel sorry for him, he's gone from one loony bin to another. Fernandes is only one notch up on Tan.

I think we are dissing QPR a bit too soon. Sure they made a lot of mistakes the last time they were in the PL, but give them credit they have bounced straight up again, and have strengthened defensively which is the right way to go. 'Arry is a good experienced PL manager, and Fernandez is (I think) a really good owner, sure they have played loony tunes before when in the PL, but I think they won't this time.

Blimey if we signed him would be fantastic, a real statement of intent us going to the next level.
He's signed elsewhere....he's rubbish over rated over valued...glad we didnt sign him.
Makes me chuckle.

Nail hit firmly on the head, people writing QPR off despite the fact they have been there and done it and have invested well recently.

They were also very lucky to come straight back up again, a squad that should have set the pace last season they limped into the PO's and were totally outplayed in the final, with their one shot on target in the 94th minute getting them up.
They signed Caulker which for me is a good signing but balance that with Rio, who is now slow, unpredictable and error prone.
They will struggle next season

Yep - I have visions of Honest Harry counting out 'one for you, two for me' with a massive bundle of grubby fifties over his desk to the agent

Well at least he's happy and, as far as I'm concerned, the feelings mutual.

We dodged one here.
He has not proved himself one bit there. He has been shocking more often than not.
So he has the physical credentials to be a top class defender...bloody leif Anderson did too...Scott Dann is a far superior footballer. Far.

Time to resurrect this one I think.
I understand the concerns (twice relegated - poor last year), but he's still only 23 and undoubtedly has talent. We've also got a recent history of getting the best out of our CB's (see Dann, Delaney, Gabbidon etc).
Obviously price dependent but would love to see him sign.

I tend to agree with this. Obviously a risk, but one I think is probably worth taking.

He is not quite in the Helga Hreidesson class of relegated players. Signing him the footballing equivalent of the "black spot" in treasure Island
