If Chair does go to dirty Leeds in Jan I hope we can use the transfer fee sensibly and spend some of it in signing Tim Iroegbunam on a permanent transfer You don't think a striker is a bigger priority?

Even if we brought in an experienced Striker like a fully fit Danny Ings I think we would still struggle with our crab like MF Stan. Plus I don’t really know a Striker that is suitable for our needs, it’s a big risk bringing in a kid to get lumps torn off him so I’m guessing he needs to be 25+?

Iroegbunam is, to me, one of those players who passed through Loftus Road and picked up a reputation at odds with how good he actually was.
Regardless, we need goals, goals and goals.
The fact that we've not had a QPR player score in 5 matches and we're now celebrating 0-0 draws at Portman Road as if they are remarkable achievements shows you the predicament we are in.
Iroegbunam is not the solution.

I havnt seen too much of any lower league strikers, seen one game where the Notts County striker looked very average but his scoring record shows different.
Al Hamidi at Wimbledon could be worth a look, he had a decent footballing background at Swansea although Dopey Ainsworth let him leave for nothing at Wycombe Wanderers just over a season ago.

Iroegbunam is not the solution. A MF concoction of Field Dozzell and Colback is never going to provide chances for any striker. Buying Tim would be nigh on cast iron profit in future transfer windows. Instead of being so dismissive of Tim, who are you going to suggest?

I think Iregbunam would come here with an improved mindset *if* that was a problem last time, but with us now facing relegation, I`m not sure he is a player who will follow us down. I think we were rumored to be after a very good League One midfielder some months ago, but I can't remember his name now. He plays for Exeter or Lincoln I think.

I'm not going to pretend I know who we should be going after in League One or Two - as I said, I struggle to maintain interest in QPR nevermind anyone else - but I know for certain 2 things: 1) Goals win matches 2) Our current forward line are at best poor at worse fucking awful. We could create a lot more chances and if we've still got Dykes and Armstrong as our main strikers we're still going down: the former is, according to you, the worst forward we've ever had... So, I would argue that our priority should be forwards - get 3 older fuckers in on loan if necessary- rather than Iroegbunam. The latter ensures we go down playing pretty patterns.

It will be loans if anything Purchaes from lower league so we hit the ground running in League One but loans brought in to try and save us.

This club is still a basket case, relegation would be a disaster. I’d rather Marti consolidated our place in Champ next season than be expected to rebuild in a graveyard.

We haven't the money required to buy the experience we need at this level, only loan and freebies. Relegation could kill this club so we need to be prepared for it - the former - or it certainly will.

I'm not paid to care about this.

Tim iroegbunam on the bench for villa yesterday,maybe not available for transfer now? My post was made as a sem-reply to Stainrod where he questioned if we would sign anyone without a DOF and a manager from overseas with a presumed limited knowledge of English players. So far this season Aston Villa sold 8 players of which 3 of them (Archer, Philogene and Ramsey) were under a fixed fee buy back agreement, It’s being said it’s as a way of getting around FFP spending regulations and still holding some control of a players future. There have been few rumours recently that Villa could be willing to allow Tim to leave for £4m, although I’m just speculating he may be able to leave under a similar buy-back condition. Yeah wasn't having a dig or anything sparks,just noticed that he was in their squad yesterday. I would love to see Tim back here, exactly the type of midfielder we need. Be good if we can do some kind of deal for him,as long as it don't cost to much.

All about opinions Timmy but Iroegbunam could probably do more on his own rather than Field, Dozzell and Colback have achieved playing together this season. Theres a compilation video of some of what he’s capable of here on his designated thread here on RFI.

An absolute Truth. But that dont make the Tim idea out of order. We need one striker plus a heads up MF.
For the board, the question is very simple. Is the financial penalty of relegation a price that they are prepared to pay?
I have to say, based on their response to the FFP question at the meeting, that I reckon relegation is a prospect they have seriously considered.
(No FFP, clean slate vs reduced rights money and income). They are looking for a way out, a sale, and if you're looking to sell a football club there is an argument that relegation might actually facilitate a sale.
It's a massive risk, but look where a so called policy of sustainability has left us. All of this was predictable, which was why some people were urging spending when Warburton had us there or thereabouts a couple of years ago.

Only bringing in one striker means Dykes or Armstrong stays in the mix... Iroegbunam is a luxury we don't need at the moment.

Also bear in mind that Tim was sensationally poor defending.
