Interested by this one . So if we play crap against Sunderland, we can expect to see a change at Old Ttrafford maybe ? Redknapp: "I'm very confident after this break you will see a different #QPR team. Hopefully we get a result vs @sunderlandafc." #QPRvSUN Read more: qprreport.proboards.com/thread/39850/redknapp-time-gel#ixzz3BlqdizsHIs Harry basing this on Vargas being available or the fact Isla and Fer will get more game time and we will have gelled .

'We have bought good players in'. Well, you could buy the eleven best players in the world but that will not guarantee you success if they can't play together as a TEAM!

'We have bought good players in'. Well, you could buy the eleven best players in the world but that will not guarantee you success if they can't play together as a TEAM! Agree completely but it takes more than 2 games to get a bunch of new players used to each other and playing as a team. I was against the international break so early in the season but given our poor pre-season and late signings it does give 2 weeks between games to work on it. Then theres the new players to replace the current ones . Ie Simpson, Traore, Phillips , Henry and Hoillett if they get sold . So will take a few more weeks to get the newest ones of the new ones after the other new ones to gel

I think we're signing some good players...But I think we're once again rapidly breaking up the promotion team and that famed morale/team spirit that we heard so much about

I feel confused about all this. We have had to bring players in with so many loans returning and a number of players out of contract. The players we have signed, on paper, look to be good signings. However, the poor start and now talk of Hoilett, Simpson, Traore and even Phillips being sold coupled with Ale Faurlins tragic injury I feel completely confused and I wonder whether Redknapp is too?
I hate to say it by I am starting to wonder whether Harry is outdated and out of ideas.

I don't see why they would sell any of these guys, this team will need depth and if they move away from the 3-5-2 system, Phillips and Hoilett can be very useful players. Traore is okay at the wing back position, but would like to give Yun Suk Young a chance at it, I think he would be pretty good. Simpson isn't the best, but once again, need back for Isla. Phillips is expendable with the current system, but if they move back to a 4-4-2, 4-5-1, he's a very good winger. Hoilett can play multiple positions and really can be very useful. He looked the best playing right behind the strikers. I guess it just depends who else comes in.

In light of the last few hours developments, Harry is right. It will definately be a different line up. Three possibly 4 players gone and still the last few losers remain. On high wages of course. They should be made to repay their money considering their lack of contribution towards the betterment of the team and club. That headless chicken deserves all the booing he gets. 1 goal in over 60 games. Not bad for a winger come striker. That's about 5 million pounds per goal wasted on him.

What gets me is that we're signing 8, 10 players in a few weeks - just a couple of months after the club suggested this was exactly what would not be happening

We were always going to get that many to make up our squad of 25 unless we put 6 kids in the 25 . You have seen the list that went back . Was it about 13 players we had back after training . Ok so Remy , Yun and Tarbs returned late but just showed you how many left . If you release so many or dont take the option of buying any of the loans it will happen year after year that way. I am thinking if we might even see a Niko return in the next few days . Harry loves a reunion

And always Crouch - a) because need striker; b) because it would be popular with many fans: "Crouchie returns"

He would only cost 2-3 million but not sure he is the answer to our problem and Hughes would do anything he could to not let him come to us ?

Hughes will keep him and use up a space in his 25 and if asked Harry will just use that inscrutable expression. We ought to have a 'smilie' with that 'Harry' expression (the 'I leave all that to the chairman' one)

QPR FC @qprfc · 2m Redknapp: "It's not about systems. It's about good players. I speak to others playing it and it is working. We need to gel." #QPRvSUN We look better playing 4-3-3 rather than 3-5-2 whatever Arry says
