QPR Report/Macmoish Goes Mental Flashback....Talking about the Dean Sturridge Transfer
From Clive Whittingham/QPR Rivals (LFW) April 2006 Interview With Gianni Paladini "...Speaking of thirty plus year olds looking for a pay day, I want to talk about Dean Sturridge, well I don't but I suppose we better discuss it. Did Dean Sturridge go through a medical examination before signing for the club?Well last season, at the time we were still in with a chance of making the play offs with a good run. Ian Holloway wanted Hayles from Millwall but we couldn't get him, so we had a report about Sturridge and Holloway was keen to get him signed up. I tried to do a deal with Wolves, you know their guy Moxey, to get him on loan until the end of the season, three months. This seemed fine but then at the last minute I got a call very early in the morning saying Dean wouldn't come on loan unless he got a deal for another year afterwards. I spoke to Jim Smith (Sturridge's manager at Derby) and he highly recommended against it. He said if we signed him for a year he'll waste our money. Jim says you need to keep Sturridge hungry. Holloway wanted him though, the transfer deadline was getting close so the pressure was on to get a deal done. We spoke to Wolves' medical people about him and they said we could put him right. There was nothing major wrong with him and we'd be able to sort him out. I took him to Italy and everywhere trying to get him fit, it was no goodSo did he have a medical before he signed?No.How much has Dean Sturridge cost us over the last 18 months?One hundred and eighty thousand pounds. We've made him offers to end the deal and get rid of him but he doesn't want to know. We offered him fifty thousand in January and he turned it down. His contract finishes next month, he'll be gone.

I'll match you, Weavie, and raise you! "...I ask Holloway how he gets on with Gianni Paladini."His personality is electric. You want to be in his company." At the same time, he says, "You wouldn't want to do anything wrong. He loves you or he hates you. When he loves you, there is no better company in the world. You can talk about Gianni being a waiter. You can talk about Gianni being Italian. You can talk about Gianni being an agent. But Gianni is a bloke. Gianni is a fella. A nice fella." What if you "do something wrong"?"If you upset him," Holloway explains, "he will hurl abuse at you. He doesn't mean it the following day. Hopefully I can help him learn from my experience of how I used to scream at deaf children." Does he swear in Italian? "Normally in English." Last year, Holloway recalls, he was at home, suffering from chronic diarrhoea, when he answered a call from Paladini. "I was sat on the toilet - actually I couldn't leave the toilet. I had this virus. There had been rumours about me going to Wolves. Three days before, I'd bought flowers for some ladies in the office. Gianni assumed they were a leaving present." So you were on the toilet... "And Gianni was going: 'You F***ing bastard I am going to kill you. I am going to kill you, you F***ing bastard... where are you, you F***ing... F***ing hell where are you.'"And you said... "I am on the toilet. My wife is in the house. Ask her. He said: 'She could be at F***ing Wolves with you.'" In the end, Holloway says, he had to drive up to Leeds, to reassure the Italian. It was a journey he remembers. "It was a terrible virus. It was coming out of both ends. I had to stop at every service station. I shouldn't have gone. It was horrendous. I was totally dehydrated. My lips were stuck to my teeth. I ended up in hospital, the following day. I was in for a week. I had six drips put into me...." www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ian-holloway-in-a-league-of-his-own-513941.html

I think Weavie is a nice guy & who's to say that following Rangers cant send you round the bend in the first place ?
My thoughts are paladini are well known & non negotiable, sadly the Dean Sturridge transfer is one of dozens that were dodgy beyond belief, hardly rocket science when people suggest the fact that something dodgy was going on, it was hardly subtle was it ?

I don't know. I think there are numerous things you can do which are all legal/within football regulations but which are "wrong" or poor decisions.
Anyway, Weavie may be right. Or he may be wrong. But I don't believe Weavie has benefited from praising/defending Gianni!

He continues to derive a wage Which elicits a continuing rage Agree it's time to turn the page Because he sure is no football sage The first and probably last effort. I'll leave to the various fine poets on the various QPR Boards
