Warnock wont play him until he signs a new contract apparently, and Watson only wants to play for QPR. Looks like he will sign for QPR in January |

He started yesterday for Palace and scored, so I guess he might have come around. |

If he was that good then I'm sure somebody would have taken him by now. I'm totally missing the point on this one. |

The point is that our useless lying board did not cough up for this obviously class act. |

Question is why have QPR a club he has allegedly told people he wants to join. who have some of the richest owners in the world of football not spent the £2m needed to get him??? Could it be that like Blues they see no point in paying £2m+ for a player who they will probably get for considerably less or even free in January. |

"Could get in jan" and "no point" are ridiculous comments. The point is we could do with him now and stumping up a paltry 2mill then would have secured him im sure. So thanks again to this skin flint pathetic board we will miss out again! |

The point is that he only wants to join QPR. But don't let facts get in the way of your griping :redcard: |

Again un thought out post. That he is so keen on joining QPR furthers my point that we should have gone in with a cash offer! As if QPR is his preferred choice then he will obviously go there in january! you catch my drift now? |

Ridiculous comments to you maybe but. you still have not answered why QPR have not handed over the cash?? despite what you think No club in this div is going to pay over £2m for a player who is in the last year of thier contract. |

Obvious class?? I've never heard of him, if he was class then teams other than QPR and Forest would have snapped him up. If a couple of prem teams were sniffing then I would be convinced but mid-table fizzy pop teams??? |

The point surely is that we need a player like him now and he is worth at least 2mill so who cares how long a contract he has left what relevance has this to his ability answer none. So the time to act was in this recent window just gone as jan will be too late as said he prefers QPR. Who also didnt act but are in a better position than us ie he wants to go there! |

another possibility being that as it would seem we are spending as little as possible on actual transfer fees, we see where we stand come January and maybe then spend some cash if we need to? i know its early days just 6 games in but with potentially 16 points froma possible 18 the team looks strong enough for this league particularly if we secure 1 or 2 loan signings in the meantime. thus far i dont think we can really question AM's transfer dealings? correct me if you think i'm wrong its just my opinion. :Blues: |

If we are in a promotion spot in Januray, and QPR are mid-table, I'd wager that Watson would prefer us over them. I agree that spending £2m on a player who isn't really desperately needed just yet (take a gander at the league table), when we could get him for free in January, would be barking mad. And he may just be another Rowan Vine anyway...... |

He is not worth 2 mil. If he was then he would have been sold for it. |
