| Celar €1.5 million on 09:06 - Jul 17 with 11157 views | Jevlar | Due to the smoke and mirrors style of contracts and transfers at QPR these days I'm reluctant to believe anything BUT, if this is remotely true, to get a return on a striker that's scored two goals in two years is impressive work |  | |  |

so could be 1.5 million then , how much did we loose on him in total i wonder ? stupid transfer in the first place was never the right fit for the team |  |

| Celar €1.5 million on 09:21 - Jul 17 with 10983 views | Lblock | Is the £1.5million coming to us or is that the sum we have to give them along with Celar? Monumnetal flop. Identify whoever signed him and horsewhip them to within an inch of their life. |  |

| Celar €1.5 million on 09:22 - Jul 17 with 10993 views | Hunterhoop | Let’s wait and see until the accounts. They proved we did not get £2.5m for Armstrong (even if 25% went to Shamrock) and £1m for Dykes. It was £1.8m up front rising to £2.2m in total for the two of them. I’d be wary believing any numbers promoted on social media accounts. That said, without wanting to go over old ground, I can see how a deal “worth £1.5m to QPR” is true. That looks about right for what he would have earnt in salary over 2 years. He was likely on a 4 year deal given our amortisation approach. Therefore, quite likely we’ve given him to someone for free to get his wages off the books, saving us around £1.5m versus what we were committed to take as cost if he stayed here for the next two seasons. So they’ve done a good job to find a taker, even if the transfer fee we paid for him has proved to be a waste. Frees up some salary to sign someone on a free this summer and improve the squad. Doesn’t help with the player trading/amortisation model, as half what we paid for him will now be incurred as a cost in this financial season. |  | |  |

Perish the thought! I think he was bought for £2million (but it was probably 'undisclosed') Totally agree, was never the right fit for QPR. Always looked a yard off the entire game. |  | |  |

| Celar €1.5 million on 09:42 - Jul 17 with 10744 views | francisbowles | We've done well to offload him with Basel prepared take a punt on his goal stat, in the season prior to joining us. He never settled, couldn't fathom the Championship and was, I believe, one of our biggest transfer disappointments of all time. He's had a horrible two years, cushioned by large sums of Ruben's 'investment' and our ticket and merch revenue. Good luck to Jan, FC Basel and their fans. |  | |  |

Hunter you're making a pretty massive assumption there. Especially given your last paragraph is worded as if the prior one is factual. [Post edited 17 Jul 10:11]

Do we accept that we paid £2million for him because that is what was reported but do not accept that we received £1.5millio. For him as is being reported? Both figures are probably inaccurate as they'll be based on all sorts of conditions. |  | |  |

Just the one yard off?! Geezer looked and played like he'd never seen a ball before in his life |  |

Good point, I guess without knowing the true details of the financials, ultimately we should just be happy he's been moved on and hopefully his transfer in & out has not negatively impacted our spending power moving ahead. |  | |  |
| Celar €1.5 million on 09:56 - Jul 17 with 10554 views | numptydumpty | Tuppence ha'penny would be pushing it for a fee for Zan the not "man". A striker with only two goals in a couple of seasons. Sometimes, you sign the Turkey and sometimes, the Golden Goose. Did we sign someone that ultimately breached fair trade under the Trades Description's Act - Zan Celar (Centre Forward) !!

have to agree , never seen a new player look less intrested in my life, its was like he had been kidnapped and made to stand on a football pitch, the worst thing was at the time we was trying to play a loan striker game , a role i belive he had never played in his career , so who said hang on lets give him a go ? never now might work ! |  |

Again some posters being very harsh about him. Maybe he was similar to Madsen in taking time to adapt to a new country, new league, new place of work, new boss. It doesn't happen overnight. Scored two great goals against Cardiff and looked like he was turning a corner, then was very unlucky to get a serious injury. I'm not saying he was likely to be a QPR legend, maybe it was never going to happen for him here. But some of our fans just look at the player on the pitch and don't think about the human being off it, and what they might be going through. |  |

diff was madson was trying to integrate into the team celar didnt , no running no heading no tackling madson tried stuff and it didnt come off passes shots celar did nothing in his time with us , he made mike sheron look like a hard working forward . would that excuse be the same for his season loan last year as well ? as he did less there that he did with us ? |  |

The number being bandied around on Twitter is 1.5m euros. That's around £1.277m at today's exchange rate. I'm assuming that's the most we can get if he triggers all the add-ons. I can't believe we got anything like that up front for him. It's still going to be booked as a loss in this year's accounts. So who are we going to have to sell at a profit to make up for that? |  | |  |
