QPR fans seems happy with him:

He seems to be getting a lot right. His account was supposedly hacked last week. I do find the 4m hard to believe. Poss 500k plus add ons up to 4m. Hope we have a big sell on clause but I doubt we’ll make anything on him. He says Eriksen has signed a 3yr contract with release clause. We shall see.You trust this @epllion guy?
Great post.The debate about our treatment of more talented players is interesting but ultimately futile because, unless we're with them every day, we don't know how individual players behave and, most importantly, what is between their ears.
I wasn't a bad player as a kid, and possibly could have made a living from the game; four of my local contemporaries, who were on the same level as me, or possibly below, played in what was then Division 1. But they, and I, were nothing compared to one lad who had everything. He was magnificently talented and could literally do anything. On top of that, he listened to his coaches and worked tirelessly for the team. He was on Spurs books and was a star in his age group. I was sure he would play for England. But he didn't make it. Why? Nobody apart from him and the Spurs coaches at the time really know, but I suspect that he just didn't have 'the right attitude', whatever that is. 'Mental toughness'? 'A winning mentality?'
The most talented players don't necessarily get to the top. The biggest part in realising the dream of being a Premier League or international footballer isn't what skill you have or even how you apply it. That is a vital base but it is only a start. The most important thing is what pushes you; your drive and determination. For want of a better expression, your 'heart'. The fact that you will make it no matter what; nothing will stop you from achieving your dream. You can be as talented as Messi, but without that you'll be playing in a pub team yet.
We all had high hopes for Marcus Edwards, but it looks like it won't happen for him. There are no doubt a number of contributory factors but, ultimately, it's because of him.
Edwards has an injury. He’s had it for a few months. He’s being treated by the Spurs medical team.
eyoma is also injured by the way - i've seen a few insinuating that he's been overlooked for a place on the tour but he's been out for a while now.
Wasn’t he in the training photos ? Pretty sure he was.
fair play if you can find one but i haven't seen him and he hasn't played since mid feb.
I’m sure @Breezer could clear up the situation with Marcus
First time I’ve actually seen what Skipp is about. Looked to have it all in his locker, against a pretty decent midfield as well. Thought Georgiou held onto the ball too long a fair few times.
Was Tanganga close to leaving last year? @S.Mouse! claims it but I don’t trust him, at all.
So Harvey white?
Never heard of him before was there a reason for the poch call up?
