Perhaps his wages the sticking point Jimmy...no doubt a lot higher than McKenna's...Totally share your frustration mate. Fair point Stan. If the wages are the problem why have we loaned 2 premier league strikers for 2 seasons running. |

I’d say he squeezed 3 and a half years out of them on a reduced wage (longer contract) As mentioned above we’ve got rid of a shit load of wages the last few days. Can’t see how we couldn’t put a package together. Did we even try and keep him? Hughill gets injured we’re up shit creek. |

I think the appeal for the club with quality loans is not having to offer contracts out for what is essentially a very expensive gamble (Washington) |

Our club should be in the front line and in pole position for any young talent wanting to get a move up the footballing ladder. Downside to loans are they suck the budget very quickly. |

Rumour was he was scouting for a number of clubs not exclusively QPR which obviously isn’t very smart because surely a good player will be pointed out to the club offering the most sheckles I’d of thought. |

Crazy way of doing things. To think our current owners have been in charge for double the time of the previous ones. |

All I keep thinking is of course we won’t come out of the transfer window with ONE striker in our squad.
Am I missing something here?!

No one is coming in. Even on loan. Eze and BOS could well be off. So shit it's unbelievable.

There is a false economy argument here - what cost if we drop? I doubt we will, but by no means certain yet, so why not wait until the end if the season? |

Alan, unfortunately I think this window sums up where we are as a club.
If we were genuinely in the running for promotion I suspect we'd have worked harder to at least maintain the current squad, if not improve it.
I'd imagine the board and the manager have looked at where we are, how many points we feel we can realistically pick up and decided that this season surviving is good enough.
Shifting Wells, Scowen and Leistner has probably made/saved us well over a million quid. Given we only spent a couple hundred thousand last summer, this isn't a small amount of money for us at the moment.
I think it's just a case of being patient, muddling through the remainder of this season and looking at where we can strengthen in the summer.
Buying players in January is a mugs game to be fair. 5m quid for Nakhi Wells at 30 years of age? Yeah, he's done well for us, but I promise you that Bristol will regret that signing in the 3rd year of his expensive contract!

I don't buy into this notion that our young players are going to appear over the horizon and all will be well next season. It doesn't happen - you get one, maybe two, young players who make it every season or so. I've seen an influx of youngsters work ONCE in all my time of watching all clubs. This club cannot afford to drop so our survival should have been assured before getting rid of BFG for the sake of four months money. If Cameron is on similar money why not shift him first? No one really knows what is going on at the club but it certainly doesn't come across with any confidence. |

Simple answer Alan, the manager doesn't like Leistner, never has. I'd heard rumours of the 2 of them having a bust up before the season even started.
