I may be a bit out of touch here, but would I be right in saying that Remy appears to have only made one appearance as a sub for the scum since his transfer? Anybody know what is happening with him? Just a bench warmer?

I'm sure Remy knew this would happen. He's now with one of the big 3 in England...He may pick up medals...He'll get his chance...ANd if he wants to leave Chelsea, it won't hurt him not having played much. It's what I would have done if not a QPR Supporter (although if I'd made a commitment to QPR, I'd have kept it to it)
It's not that he left that pisses me - It's all the QPR bullshit before hand that he wouldnt leave us in the lurch
And the failure to sign replacement
If Austin is injured long-term we are screwed. Big gamble QPR Taking

Don't worry Mac, Andy Carroll will save us!......if he ever leaves the Sick Note table. From 35 million to 5 million in less than 2 years - impressive.

Always bad to blame others when the blame is simply yours. They all knew it was a strong possibility that Remy would go and they should have acted sooner with a replacement striker or two. The problem he has is not just a striker, but a goalkeeper, and a defender and until he changes things, we simply will not need another striker as we will not be able to get out of our own half. I know we can play and i believe we can make it in the premiership, but i do doubt what i hear and see from HR. Things need to change and now not in 5 games time. Rant over...

But who will want to join us then if we are still struggling? Someone like Remy when he joined in Jan 2 seasons ago. That is someone without Prem experience who wants to impress on the world's biggest TV audience stage. If we need a striker, we won't have a problem getting a decent one IMO.

I think we can get Defoe in the next window and that should be enough as far as strikers go. The good thing is, we go into January knowing we need a striker and hopefully don't mess around.

I know this will probably be greeted with the ususal string of 'arry old boy, overpaid, injury prone too old mercenary comments but I do not care as long as he can run through some defences and stick the ball in the net - and we all know he can.
Also I worked out why Remy joined Chelsea for the Champions League........ so he could get a free seat near the touchline!

If he was a free contract - and not a loan - AND if we didnt have 25 spaces filled up, maybe. But I don't think we can now.
For October, And November And Decemeber - we have to make do with what we have. And if Austin and Zamora and....All get injured, then that's just too bad for QPR

Harry Redknapp was the only person who thought Remy would stay! Any football fan with half a brain cell knew for months he would NEVER play for us. QPR FC are too small time for him!
Harry could not see it made no proper plans and it has left us with a pants strike force just one of his many transfer dealing blunders since Jan 2014...take a look down the list of all those players he signed since Jan 1st. Frankly I'm not impressed
There was time and a reasonable amount of financial backing so no excuses. Clubs like West Ham and Hull made good deals and got decent forwards. Why couldn't we do likewise.?
Sorry Harry son I can put up a defence for you against the charge of being a spent force and a dinosaur(just about!) but in the transfer market you have been a disaster.

I think Remy could have stayed and would have been prepared to play with high motivation but Chelsea came late and bought him as often happens in the last days of the transfer window. We did have replacements lined up but we stuck to our guns on the financial offers we were prepared to make. Considering our previous transfer policy of throwing money at desperate purchases I found it refreshing not to see the club held to ransom. I consider this a more healthy transfer policy which I attribute to HR rather than blame him for failure. Don't you think his reputation in the transfer market is also a little at odds with your conclusions? The only real criticism I can make towards HR's transfers are that he has at times spent more than his previous clubs could afford. It's normally the chairman who signs the cheques though!

OK I respect all opinions supporting Harry's dealings in the transfer market. Fair enough
However I keep going through the list of every single player he signed(and on loan) for the club since Jan 2014 and I am underwhelmed to say the least....and I certainly stand by my view that the players he brought in during that Jan 2014 transfer window when we were in the championship were poor and cost us automatic promotion.
Harry has his good points...but transfer dealing during the last 10 months is not one of them.

Harry has his good points...but transfer dealing during the last 10 months is not one of them. I had thought that the transfer business concluded in the summer was generally well received on the whole (with the exception of Remy) by most on the boards. I do think that loans etc. are determined by who is available at the time and then if they actually want to join QPR. If clubs were able to go and get whoever they wanted then an astute Carlisle manager would be top of the league rather than 92nd. Extending that principle, when Austin was out for a long time ( my favourite reason for missing automatic promotion) and Zamorra was still on crutches (just about), Redknapp could only get who was available and out of those who was willing to join. They weren't much good but notice that they were outed as soon as the season finished. I cant remember who was available at the time but out of those who were, who do you think would have come to QPR on loan and driven us forward? I have just tried to edit this but mistakenly 'liked' my own post - I've turned into Tony Fernandez.

I think absolutely QPR - Redknapp and Fernandes - totally screwed up over the Remy sale/and not signing a replacement Overall the transfer policy of the summer was a massive improvement on the previous two Premiership campaigns, we have signed some young and hopefully improving Premiership quality players. Only three transfers have let us down in my eyes and seem to be a bit strange considering the excellent business done on the other transfers: 1. Ferdinand. Fool me once and all that. 2. Not buying cover for Remy's inevitable departure. It is a bit worrying that the only two people in the known universe who thought Remy might stay were the two men responsible ultimately for all signings, Fernandes and Redknapp, but even so considering he had already left for Liverpool, the possibility that he was going should have prompted us getting in another striker. As for a striker not wanting to come because he would be on the bench if Remy stayed, any incoming player would have known Remy's staying was unlikely, we were spouting off about playing 3-5-2 so we could have mentioned to them Charlie's 'dodgy knee' (just ask Hull) and Zamora's chances of ever playing more than 30 mins for the rest of his career as well as offering him a place in a Premiership squad on Premiership wages. I'm sure we would have found one. 3. Selling Simpson. And now we're moaning about injuries and no right backs at the club. Seriously you couldn't make that last one up. I think the whole policy was based on the 3-5-2 formation, Traore was seemingly surplus to that as Vargas plays out on the left and the club were hoping Remy would partner Charlie up top. Unfortunately, just like with the new stadium, there is no Plan B even though Plan A fell apart very quickly. Hopefully the quality we did pick up will keep us going until January and then we will need at least 1 striker and 1 left back.

I am not from this universe as well as only having half a brain.
All my secrets are being revealed but I have a few in store
With Yun and Traore why do we need a left back - Vargas plays up front sometimes, wide but not in defence. Thought Simpson played on the right .I must be watching he outer universe QPR where all is reversed . Cashing in on Simpson now instead of running out his contract was probably good economic business like we have all been calling for.
Half a brain? Surely you exaggerate. Traore is useless as a left-back and only half-decent as a left-midfielder, I'd have been happy to have been shot of him. The fact that he was MOTM against Man U and has outshone others recently is merely a reflection of why we only have 4 points so far. What is this Yun you talk about? The names sort of familiar, I think I've even seen him once or twice and he's decent. Unproven at Premiership level but seriously, I think he'll do well and certainly bust a gut, giving 100% every time, which I will always appreciate in a player, but his recent spell literally missing from the first team is actually proving as we sit here and debate this that we need another left-back at the club, otherwise we'll kill Clint Hill playing him there again. Playing Vargas out wide in a 3-5-2 doesn't make him a defender, just like players such as Ryan Giggs weren't when Man Utd played 3-5-2 with Giggs on the left. He'd have to put in a shift but as a Professional footballer he should be more than just a one trick pony that can only play one way. And with Vargas on the left in that formation, as an attack minded player, one of the central midfielders can cover when needed by the left hand side center-half. My point about Simpson is separate to the left hand side in a 3-5-2 obviously, that's why it was illustrated separately. Though it does match up to my point about needing two players for every position. This is just my reading of how we put all our eggs in one basket and had no back up plan. Other than that, decent and exciting business in the transfer window and we should be higher than where we are with the quality at our disposal. This is just a very tough and unforgiving league.

Very few Prem teams have an abundance of good strikers. As the saying goes, the more strikers you have the more you don't actually have a striker.
Our problem is at the other end of the pitch. Unless we defend better and do the simple things like tracking back and putting your body in the way, closing down the space and regrouping when we lose the ball then all the goals we may score will mean nothing anyway.
Keep clean sheets first and the rest will follow.
