I’ll start with a bit of Twitter tittle tattle, Andre Dozzell from Ipswich

Very harsh.....have you ever played the game?? |

If the club secure the transfer of Stephan Johansen is it financially realistic to think about bringing in more players ?
Even if the players are coming in on a free transfer that normally equates to higher wage demands.
I wouldn’t be too upset if Liam Kelly was retained and we go again with the current squad.
Maybe a few loans in Jan if we are in real contention of a top 6 spot? | | | |

Sean Gallagher has chased that ITK off now ðŸ˜

Just seen that. ITKQPR has deleted its account! |  | | |

"I know you follow me with your real account" was pretty pointed.
QPR twitter is a very, very, very odd place. |  | | |

It might have been a kid but don't think so...
You got to wonder why someone would do something like that? World is full of weird people. | | | |

Yeah, I'm pretty selective with what I follow on Twitter when it comes to QPR. I so much prefer the calm and collected sanity of LfW. | | | |

There is no more damning indictment of QPR Twitter than that statement  | | | |

I’m exactly the same, only a handful, LFW (obvs), the podcast gang and a few mates. Loads of odd people about and I don’t even search for them! Even blocked a few for bile spewing on some subjects.
Anyway, happy with the business so far, if we get JoJo then the summer is complete! |  | | |

Not sure Davie Weir likes Warbs all that much to be honest. Brighton have /have had some decent U23s (Jayson Molumby, Taylor Richards, Max Sanders, Ryan Longman) and he's only ever dumped Mlakar on us. | | | |

It seems likely that Kane is on his way out. I wouldn't be comfortable with Kakay as only RB.
Wallace is 33 and I don't think Niko has convinced many fans that he is Championship quality.
If we take Kane and Carroll off the wage bill, to add to Lumley, probably Kelly, Smyth and Oteh, 2 new FBs are unlikely to lead to a serious increase in costs.
Odubajo could prove a cheap addition and George Cox is right age and experience with possible added value. I suspect the first is more likely then second. |  |

Free transfers normally equate to higher wages but these are not normal times with a lot of players grateful of anything. Lots of players out of contract are in for a big wake up call. |  | | |

Hmmm yes a lot of players are going to think 'oh I can get a better offer elsewhere' and then find out that might not be the case.
Hence it will be interesting to see where Carroll ends up if we don't give him an improved offer. |  |

In the piece on George Cox it says Carroll has now left |  | | |

If they bring in Cox and Adubajo to go alongside the 4 loans and Dozell then that looks a very very good window to me |  |

Remember when Fernandes always used to wheel out his spiel about his deep admiration for Everton's stability and prudence and longevity. Yeah... | | | |

“It’s like a different sport, compared to League Two,” he says. “You can compare it slightly to the under-23s, but it steps up in every aspect. Technically, you are getting better players, the players are a lot cleverer than 17- or 18-year-olds, it’s so much quicker.
“One thing I got told is it’s technically fantastic but very slow. But it’s how slow you want to make it – if you are playing against a team that need points or teams at the top, it’s not slow football; Ajax play Champions League, they are not going to be playing slow football.
“If I was to say the next step for me would be to go to the Championship, it would not be a huge difference. The biggest difference would be in the physicality. That’s the thing I’d notice the most, not the technical side. For me, being 21 and not very big, it was perfect.” | | | |

George Cox appears to be a good fit for us but how much would he cost?
But what to do with Niko Hamalainen? He takes baby steps in his development and, should we bring Cox in, is unlikely to feature in the first team next season. He's got another 3 years on his contract. Surely sell on, loan out or maybe Fortuna Sittard would consider a part exchange? | | | |

I would think Niko Hamaalainen will spend the majority of his upcoming season in the B team with perhaps Yohan Barbet or Sam Field deputising for Lee Wallace. | | | |

He isn't, he signed a three year deal after his loan ended.
Fortuna aren't a wealthy club even before you consider the current circumstances though and it's unlikely Cox won't have made some arrangement with one eye on his next step in agreeing to the move.
Think this one is a real test of our scouting chops. Looks to be technically proficient and his numbers are certainly eye-catching but there are a ton of mitigating factors to adjust for in judging whether they're transferable to this division. Get carried away and we'll just have two Nikos to umm and ahh about. (Looking at it the other way around and asking why Niko wouldn't also be a good Eredivisie fullback is probably a great place to start).
Not much back in these wing-backs that's for sure... [Post edited 17 Jun 2021 8:18]

Warming (perhaps forcedly) to the idea of Odubajo but would be interested to hear from our Brentford lads exactly how they felt his injury changed him on his year back. He doesn't seem to have had a lot of related injuries since or lost a yard of pace or anything despite the general line being he's not the same player.
Nothing but pages and pages of criticism from Wednesday fans but they're a sh1tshow I can be persuaded to write off. | | | |
