The other Rangers are rumoured to be interested in our Scotstralian. After the Beale fiasco, we should be demanding £10m+ and, even then, tell them to FO.
To anybody else a straight No. |  |

Tell Beale we are interested. Negotiate the fee, draft the contract, get them to organise accommodation for him, get him to agree personal terms and verbally agree to sign.
Then tell them to FC*K OFF ...... |  | | |

If they’re offering £10M I’ll drive him there myself!
We can then put the money to good use. | | | |

Lyndon may not be the best but selling him now would leave us with the square root of naff all up front, with zero strikers capable of winning the ball in the air. His hold up play, lay-offs and aerial presence, both when we are attacking and when we are defending, are vital to the team.
Unless we can immediately replace him with a player who can do the same job, we are in very serious trouble. |  |

I agree. Let PBBC have Inkman, it would be a way of getting our revenge. |  | | |

A few million for Dykes from Rangers would be a result imo.
I like him but we need a change up top and it would give us the cash to do it.
I reckon at least one of our better players is going to end up at Rangers given the PBBC knows how desperate we are. |  | | |

Judging by Dykes' tweet when Beale left, I don't think he's keen on working with him again. |  |

If we get £4m from them, we should take it.
Dykes is just about okay at holding up the play and quite good at winning long balls upfront. Useful at running down the defenders for the high press.
But his goals scored per game is low, 1 in 4 heading towards 1 in 5. He is not great at holding up the ball, not great at getting in front of his defender for a cross (sometimes he can, but often not). He's nothing special like Willock or Chair.
If we can get £4m for him now, I would take it. He is in the last 18 months of his contract and is 27. He won't improve that much, we have tried. Time to change up for a younger player. |  |

Given our budget, I suppose Neil Critchley has already been pre-warned that he might be building a striker force around Mac Bonne then. |  |

Definitely very skint, but spending money they don’t have is true to their form. So I would not rule this out on this basis (but perhaps on others.) |  | | |

We've already got the square root of naff all upfront. We aren't going to suddenly start winning games, unless we shake the squad up a bit - and to that we need some funds. Hopefully Critchley has an idea of who could replace Dykes...and a coup!e of others. Think Dykes could do well at GR, as he might be happier back in his beloved Scotland. | | | |

Yes, seriously. Mid-season is the worst possible time to try to buy any player, let alone what every club is trying to buy, a reasonable striker. You pay massively over the odds at this time of year.
I doubt the owners would want to shell out what is needed for a proven Championship standard striker, there might be FFP issues too if we did, and we can only get someone who wants to join us. We're hardly a big draw.
In addition, we are on a terrible run of form so I think the last thing we want to do is get rid of one of the few players in the squad who, most of the time, is certain of a place in the starting eleven on merit.
If we do flog him, prepare yourself for the acquisition of a League 1 or League 1 standard striker who might *eventually* be of the required standard. With our current form, I don't think we can afford to burn up 5-10 games while a lower standard, new striker tries to establish themselves and start contributing.
If you are so keen to bin him, feel free to suggest affordable alternatives who would actually want to come to QPR. | |

I reckon Gazza could do a job himself 
But yeah I'd be curious to know who else we'd play up front who would a better job than Dykes (and I'm talking all round play, not just scoring goals). | |

I don't know about Dykes moving but it wouldn't surprise me to see Laird join them in January. | | | |

I do not think Armstrong is ready at all for 1st team football, not sure he will ever be ready for the Championship but, you know what, I would prefer him to start ahead of Dykes even if it is to give him a proper chance.....or I would look around the lower divisions or even the Conference leagues for a player. | | | |

Yes but that was for a Championship team. Now will he only be looking for an SPL quality striker. | | | |

Dykes played a couple of games for Scotland this year and scored 2 superb goals with bullet headers .Its obviously his strength yet WTF do we not set up to deliver multiple crosses to where he is most dangerous.
Maybe our new manager can actually find a system where we can score a few goals we need it now
If Beale the traitor starts poaching our players then he is going to have to pay the piper.
Except our loans of course I suspect they will follow him north | | | |
