Which QPR player had the most dramatic fall from grace in your experience. What I mean by that who started absolutely great and ended up as one of the worst and how can we explain it all? Seems to happen to quite a few QPR players
Samba diakete was absolutely set to become a qpr favourite. He was absolutely mental - his Fulham display saw him chop down their opponents and get two yellow cards quickly and we all thought we had a head case. Then he really kicked on and his displays the rest of the season were immense. Loved him. He worked well with Taarabt, cisse etc
Then we signed him permanently I think and he just lost it. Does anyone know what happened and why? Was this mark hughes influence?
Who else have we got? Stuart wardley perhaps

He was only good for a minute though.
Stuart Wardley is a good shout.
Jon Spencer maybe? First season he was on fire. Next season he was an aggy little prick who couldn't score. |
Yeah Wardley has to be up there.
One excellent season for us and then he basically disappeared. Can't even remember who he went to after us! |  |

Richards surely . |
No decline with that guy though, started badly, kept on going. |  | | |

First match he looked a world beater. After that he either wasn't playing or if he was he was absolutely useless. the one highlight being the Chelsea goal, which he didn't even celebrate. | | | |

Some recency bias here, but one of the worst things about the season before last (the Beale/Critchley/Ainsworth season) wasn't so much the non-performance of Beale's cohort, as the loss of form of formerly reliable players like Johansen and Dickie. |
Good shout. |  |

To refresh my memory (or anyone else's)...
Serious knee injury did for him. | |

Karl Ready won the player of the year 97-98 (in an admittedly dreadful squad). He played another 100 games or so for us after that and it's hard to think of good one. |  | | |

Eduardo Vargas perhaps? Looked pretty decent at first and then........
Could throw Loic Remy into the mix as well.
One who started shockingly and never improved would be Chris Samba. Even though I believe we recouped the £12m transfer fee when we sold him that has to be right up there in the worst deals we've done as a club |  |

I'd say Johansen and Austin rather than Johansen and Dickie. Dickie and Dunne were the only players who put in creditable performances when we started sliding at the end of that season and Austin just looked like a frustrated Sunday morning League footballer when he couldn't even get in ahead of Andre Grey. | | | |

Vargas was never played in his rightful position though was he?Ledesma was another one who didn’t play his best for us.Nor did Parejo,which considering the career he went on to have was strange,but he was only a youngster when he joined us. |  | | |

Vargas was done dirty by Redknapp IMO. |  | | |

The black Andy Gray that we had here - if that's the PC way of describing him here !!!!
I wasn't attending much for a few years around this time but remember him getting two incredible goals in a home win against Man Utd but he wasnt here long.
Anyone know much about him ?? [Post edited 20 Dec 18:27]

Ned Zelic maybe. Played in the UEFA cup final with Borussia Dortmund then a couple of seasons later came to QPR where he played 4 games before going back Germany. |  | | |

Esteban Granero. Thought he looked superb in his early games then went a bit rubbish/lost interest. Think he could have done much more. |
Made a fortune from the game while doing his PhD in the evenings. Retired early to found an AI company. | | | |

He played for palace for 3 years after he left us.Then he played 30 odd games for Spurs and a few other teams and finished his career at Millwall.
He was appointed manager of Corinthian casuals,but left in December 23.
He even won 1 England cap while at palace. [Post edited 20 Dec 19:13]

He was good. There was a bit of thrust about him plus he knew how to play right mid. A bit like Martin Allen. | | | |

Another random Ranger from the Andy Gray time...
Paul Wright scored twice in a big win over Liverpool and then I believe disappeared up to his native environment in Scotland never to be seen again. [Post edited 20 Dec 20:21]

Not for a minute saying it was the most dramatic but 8million quid Leroy Fer came along started well, Motm on first home game scored some crucial goals in that first season and then, let's just way he waned the following season.

Shìt goalkeeper but he was the dapperest player at the club with his chunky knit jumpers and his effortlessly smart but casual wool/cashmere numbers.
 |
And, environmentally sound. Everything about him was green. | |
