They really are doing the City thing of buying better players with the shit ones still there. Only they've managed to do it in the space of one transfer window, and the shit players they'll probably now want rid of have barely played 2 games for the club.

How much money do QPR actually have?
Jesus H Christ they are really going for it in this window arent they? They will have some wage bill at the end of it all. I hope they manage to pull it off and stay hope for their sake.
I'd love to see them get relegated really. The only thing slightly stopping me from wanting it is Park being there.
and Fabio!
All smells a bit Portsmouth this
Yeah but if they get relegated Fabio comes back to us regardless. Park would have to play in the Championship.
A lot of journalists are talking about Maicon to City being a done deal. Seems a strange deal to me. When I've seen him of late he looks like he's past his best, and you'd think it wouldn't do Richards any favours in terms of getting games with both Zabaleta and Maicon there.
May fit in better if City stick with their 3 defenders at the back.
Last time I watched Maicon though he was awful.

Julio Cesar believes QPR can "win the premier league". How accurate would TNC fans say his claim is?

Well, in theory they are actually able to win the Premier League.
So are Liverpool, but every time that thought gets raised, it gets laughed out of the room.
It's much the same here
Anyone seen this lad play?

Liverpool are set to sign Samed Yesil, an 18 year old forward, from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee in the region of £1 million.
Tony Barrett @TonyBarretTimes
£1 million seems low to me for a player of Yesil's potential & reputation. That was the figure I was quoted but it could be higher.

Is Barrett just a scouse mouthpiece? He rates every player they sign as better than Jesus.
Pompey always spent what seemed at the time wisely. And sold for good profits.
Their owners simply never had the money that they claimed to have
QPR are rolling in it
They are owned by tony fernandes, the man also bank rolling the lotus formula 1 team. Safe to say hes got plenty of money to support this.
Not quite a Abramovich / sheikh, but enough to bring them much higher up the league.
Holy Jaysus.
To be fair, there is little documentary evidence that Jesus (Christ, that is) was any good at football. Decent first touch, although that's only according to a few lepers, and mates with Judas although this is before Judas hit the big time with West Ham.
His propensity for 'Reebok Nazareth' sandals probably didn't help, although in answer to the perennial 'could he do it on a rainy Tuesday evening in Stoke?', being able to walk on water obviously helps.
His job is to report on Liverpool.
Leverkusen fans don't seem too happy about it:

Then I remember Mark Hughes is at the helm. This is the man who spent loads on getting City to the same standard we were at under Sven.
Richards is out until Christmas - according to my City supporting mate. Still no idea why they'd want Maicon now.
Maybe they are looking to play Richards centrally.
He's a Liverpool fan, what do you expect. Times have an all liverpool lineup with Barrett, Kay, Rory Smith and one fat journalist whose name I can't remember at the moment.
He was the real player of the tournament at the U17 World Cup last year (FIFA of course gave the award to some joker from the Mexican team) with six goals and six assists in seven matches. Has Turkish roots but has already stated his desire to play for Germany at senior level.
He was very good technically, good at finding space, and passed the ball both neatly and incisively. For £1m Liverpool have got themselves a very good deal.
Jesus H Christ they are really going for it in this window arent they? They will have some wage bill at the end of it all. I hope they manage to pull it off and stay hope for their sake.
After the smalltime reaction of their supporters for the City winner, against their own side...they can feck off and rot for all I give a feck.
Hope they go down.
We're not signing a midfielder are we
We might sign 'own goal' again
We're not signing a midfielder are we
Of course not. We have 2 38+ years old players, a player with a serious chronic illness, an underperformer who is injured easily, Cleverley and Carrick. Why would we need anyone else?
What we need is another CB and ST, maybe throw in a winger or two.
We just need to extend Webb's contract and we'll be fine.
It's part of Mancini's plan to ensure that not a single Man City youth player is in his squad.
So. Er. Midfield? don't know if it's been mentioned.
don't know if it's been mentioned.Witsel or Tiote in before the lock tomorrow.
I have absolutely no hope in hell of this happening

Not twitter, but a similar grade of Spanish gossip. Macheda has been offered around a number of Spanish clubs including Elche (Liga 2).
I'm dubious of the Elche aspect, but I'm not surprised by the Spanish one. In fact if I was making up a rumour I'd suggest Malaga or Levante or a whole bunch of Liga 1 clubs who need players - though only if his wages are subsidised.

Nani has been told that he will not be sold by Manchester United in the current transfer window. #MUFC #POR
The Portugal international, voted Manchester United's Players' Player of the Year the season before last, has been dissatisfied with the club's offer of an improved contract amidst lucrative approaches from Russia (Read more at The National › ). Both United and player have agreed to resume discussions on a new Old Trafford deal after the summer window has closed. 2 minutes ago

Sounds plausible. It would be madness to sell him.
Thank feck. Give him a contract and put this to bed.
Lot of talk on twitter about Nigel De Jong going to Milan for £3.5m. Not seen anything from an English journo yet, mind. Seems like an insanely shite bit of business from City, unless they still hope to get De Rossi.
