Yeah I'm sure he'll be thinking wistfully of Geoff Cameron when Ozil doesn't track back. |  | | |

With 5 subs I would start him and hook him as soon as he started phoning it in .
I dont rate him as highly as some of our fans but career wise i think he is making an incredibly bad choice. |
Whether he’s been phoning it in he’s been handicapped by the appalling full backs he’s had behind him this season. Add that to the mix with no Eze to relieve the pressure and quite honestly, I’m not surprised he goes into a strop.
If we play three at the back, he could play wing back either side and we’d see a different player I’m sure. He needs to get the joy back in his game. |  | | |

For me it's a real chance for Shodipo to step up and take his place. He's been doing very well on loan and it should be his time.
I think BOS has a lot of potential. He has great pace which we lack and he scares defenders. His end product has got better but still not enough of it.
I think his agent has messed to club around really badly and we shouldn't, if possible, deal with that agent again. But blaming the player for everything isn't right.
I hope he does stay and play as well as he can to impress his new club because if he slacks off he will either be dropped or end up not really featuring in Turkey. |
*I think his agent has messed to club around really badly and we shouldn't, if possible, deal with that agent again. But blaming the player for everything isn't right.*
His Agent might be the very same Agent who brought him to QPR in the first place? also like it or not we can't pick and choose players Agents either.
Players Agents are what they are, they continually get a bad press but again like it or not they are part and parcel of modern football and we have to get on with it and deal with it.
Could the club or the player or the bloody Agent have dealt with it better, who knows?
We are talking about a players livelihood and his future so I'd expect almost demand that the Agent would get the best deal possible for BOS not anybody else.
I'm not broken hearted he's gone/going or whatever although I would have liked him to have signed and stayed with us, he hasn't so consequently it's a San fairy ann from me. |  |

Three years with us isn't going to amount to much under FIFA training compensation (something like £150-200k if I'm looking at it right) it's not particularly substantial even if they've been there since the age of 12. Blackpool will get theirs too, and 5% of Bright's future transfer fee when he leaves Fener will be shared between us after that.

Personally I'm really disappointed BOS didn't sign a new contract to enable the club to get a few quid back on him - they've demonstrated their willingness not to stand in a player's way or demand ludicrous transfer fees.
So, we might (or might not) get £15-200K compensation, where we might have received £5-£8m. He knows how skint the club is and how much the club has helped him develop, but he's (seemingly) not willing to give anything back.
That's kind of the definition of a parasite. I know I should be more generous than that, but that's how I feel about him (unless he has been given a £2m signing fee which he donates to QPR...)
So do we play BOS for the rest of the season or not? Personally, I'd rather see him kicking around in the reserves and we bring someone else on.

Ideally we sign a replacement straight away. If that's not possible I would broadly speaking not go for creating a punitive atmosphere just for the sake of it. But that depends on his inclination to honour his contract, how his team mates are reacting, if and how deceitful his camp may have been in negotiations, a bunch of stuff only the people involved can know. | | | |

He is definately having his strings pulled by his agent here.
As Rsonist rightly point out, the compensation we will receive if he goes overseas will be negligible, leaving greater rewards to be shared between BOS and his representative.
His intentions were clear with the previously aborted Bruges move.
As a club we are told we carry out due diligence on a players character - it's not so easy to do this with their agents.
The historic big three teams in Turkey were all struggling financially, even before this pandemic. Their estimated debts being in the region of Besiktas €280M, Galatasaray €190M and Fenerbahce €300M. All this further compounded by 10 months (and counting) of Covid and the first season in living memory that not one of them has qualified for the lucrative European competitions.
Good luck Bright - you may need it. |  | | |

No point getting upset about it. Player declines to sign new contract and wants to let contract run out what can you do? Offer him gobs of cash which upsets the budget and everyone else?
He and his agent will have made dough from the move, as for his career think that's probably going nowhere?
It's modern football, we'll probably benefit from a player elsewhere letting a contract run down?
Only question mark now is how committed he is to seeing the season out? | | | |

I was upset at the thought of losing last seasons BOS. This seasons BOS less so.
I’m not going to be too critical of him because we don’t really know whats gone on. Also we’d happily sign a player from another team in similar circumstances. Modern football 👎 |  |

Find it hard to imagine that any of Bright's critics would seriously contemplate doing anything different if they were in his boots. He's been a thrilling player to watch, with perhaps a slight dip in performance this season with the loss of players he used to link with so well, but I have no complaints about his contribution to the Rs. Would have liked him to make us a tidy £10m profit, but we really have no right to expect that, and it's boring and sad to keep reading people huffing and puffing about this. We benefit from this system just as much, if not more so. Good luck Bright, and I hope you score a few more worldies before you go. | | | |

Having seen him play something similar in the U23's, Paul Smyth in the LWB role might be an option. Caveat, I can't remember what his defending was like, but breaking from deep and either cutting inside or whipping decent crosses was already in his locker. |  |

It boils down to a breakdown in trust between club and player. Same with Manning. Manning would have commanded around £2 million and Bright at least double that, as we have seen. What a waste. |
Don't think you can call the club offering less than a player wants a 'breakdown of trust'
Awful lot of 'trust broken' out there in that case! | | | |

Except if we had treated Manning the same as BOS and just knocked the season out of him instead of getting three weeks of Austin's wages, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. Just imagine him at wing back, the new Dutch guy shoring things up behind him and Manning providing crosses for Austin to bury. |
Oooh just imagine every player we have ever had playing their best and gelling with whatever player they play with!
