Eleven Million Pounds of Ross McCormack: The Football League and Beyond, 2014-15

You have to scroll your eyes up and down the table three times to see Which are the relegated sides again?

qpr burnleigh and hull

thudd @ our stadiums

nbd tbh

i will weep

this paragon of crude beauty, this brief glimpse of aesthetic perfection, brought to share a field with morgan fox

Queens Park Rangers will complete a £2.25million deal to sign highly-rated Dutch midfielder Tjaronn Chery from Dutch club Groningen next week.

Chery revealed to Dutch newspaper fok.nl that he has spoken to fellow countryman and QPR midfielder Leroy Fer about the move.

He said: 'Leroy said that QPR is a big and beautiful club and that it would be a good step for me."

can only assume leroy's got himself a move somewhere to be telling whoppers like that

fyi chery will be the fourth #10 we've now signed up for our muck n nettles spiritual rebuild, plus jamie mackie chasing plastic bags around the park

proper preseason too, tour to italy for glamour fixtures against shaktar donetsk (stood us up last minute so we beat pub team 10-0 instead) monaco (0-1, late scramble to find any local pitch that wasnt sun scorched) and al ittihad (stood us up again so we played... ourselves, chris ramsey managing both sides)

as ambivalent as hell as I am towards QPR, it is good to get rtc back to this thread rather than that other QPR fan that only turns up when wearing the face-paint and jester hat.

lol ty. i do feel quite reinvigorated atm, no idea if we'll be any good (or if i'm ready to care) but at least it's not looking like we'll be the hateful grinding pox we were last time round

hm fulham just got 8m from city for wee pat roberts

didnt realise until this week that they'd spent half that on tom cairney

linked with guedioura today :D

v much enjoying brentford charlton brighton and occasional others' progressive internationalist flavours. all much funner than it used to be

not just flotsam either but some fairly impressive proximal epl pull too with bjelland vibe chery hemed etc... think kodija at bristol city in partic might tear the league a new one

meanwhile gibson's boner rekindling continues with a £12m bid for rhodes

also the heartwarming tale of derby bolstering their promotion splurge on with skybet fan raffle money. jason shackell indeed

You can take the boy out of Ayrshire...

Story must have been written by a Scot, this is priceless:

"Broadfoot was born into a Protestant family in Ayrshire and is known to be a staunch supporters of certain cultural traditions relating to his religion."

Pulis told Albion’s website on Tuesday: “I had a chat with him and explained what we do as a football club and the way we are and I think he’s fine with everything.

“He’s got to turn towards the flag like everybody else has and he recognises that.

“So hopefully we’ve nipped it in the bud and we can get on with our things and he can get on with his things.”

"Broadfoot was born into a Protestant family in Ayrshire and is known to be a staunch supporters of certain cultural traditions relating to his religion."

this is the most perfect, wryly humorous euphemism for "Broadfoot is a dirty orange bastard".

Le Fondre undergoing a medical at the Wolves allegedly

realistically he's cover for Dicko and Afobe but i've always had a soft spot for the lad and will be pretty chuffed if he's in gold and black next season

also we need new threads i guess, even if we are in the dying throes of ILF

dying throes of ALF morelike

gtfo

:D

A goal every odd game at Bolton wasn't bad work for a faded journeyman, he can still do a job - although he was a tosser for turning us down for Bolton. I read somewhere that Bolton fans were trying to crowdfund the permanent signing of him and had raised £645, obv they are as clued up as Gartside on the economics of football.

confirmed! so much better than a faded journeyman imo, but i'll allow for your bitterness xe :p

I have always rated him tbh. I still have photos somewhere of a day out at Spotland where he tore us a new arsehole in a pre-season 3-0 defeat. He reneged on a verbal agreement in the Jan window to join Lennon, so yay bitterness! As a squad signing that is very good because apart from his Cardiff nightmare he always scores and will put pressure on Dicko and Afobe.

yeah, he shd be suited to the way we play along the deck too. alongside our 17 year-old wonderkid Bright Enobakhare we've got a shit-hot-looking attack now, no kiss of death.

if we could get a loan of this young Liverpool winger that's been mentioned, Sheyi Ojo, then i reckon the promotion challenge is feasible. really need to replace Kevin Mac in the end i think, whether he agrees a new contract or not, but Coady looks to have plenty in him.

this is going to be the most absurdly strong second division in world football history

thought about calling new thread "Best Feeder League in the World" but, y'know, tongue in cheek

there are about 15 teams who have assembled promotion squads

none of them are leeds

According to the bookies Charlton, Town and Rotherham are going down this season. Ffs even franchise are fancied to do better. Obv Bristol City fans on the glue and meth is the only reason they have been backed into 20/1.

Does William Bloody Swygart usually do this thing by now?

it's open to anybody, i just can't come up with a satisfactory title at the moment

15 teams who have assembled promotion squads and none of them are leeds

sounds good to me, nobody complained about Champocentrism last year

this thread will never be elected if we don't etc etc....

Oh shit Bobby Z is back with the Albion

Brightons major problem last season was not having a goal scorer after ulloa went - think they've now signed five different strikers this transfer window

Row Z just became more a dangerous place to sit at the Amex :P

Ojo signed for the season too. shit's getting interesting

ugh konchesky. ffs

Leroy Fer has failed a medical at Sunderland and will return to QPR, according to Sky sources.
