So think QPR truly tried for a visa for Stewart... or not?

Excerpted fro CLIVE W latest.
Bradley Orr . Early in his career he played midfield but he is a right full back. Two seasons ago he was voted the best right full back in the Championship. He’s an excellent signing for a good price at a good age in my opinion. Saints be praised Sadly, and as you may be able to tell this is rather an afterthought to the original article, the news is tempered by the departure of Damion Stewart. We have rather opened up another problem while solving the original one here because having been short of any kind of quality right back we've now hamstrung the centre of our defence. We are not short of centre halves, but Stewart was the only one we had with real genuine pace. His own accident prone-ness was often covered up by his ability to quickly make up ground and recover the situation. Ramage, Connolly, Hall, Gorkss - none of them have any real pace, and it's hardly a strength of Clint Hill's or Bradley Orr's either. This move weakens us as much as the Orr transfer strengthens us in my opinion and we will have to work very hard on a defensive pattern of play to avoid dropping too deep for fear of pace in behind, or pushing too high up looking for offside all the time to compensate.

He highlights the lack of pace of all our defenders, Stewart had.pace I think there were other internal reasons why he was sold. Remember the sending home from CONCAF
by Jamaican team OR. That Head injury. Curious to me that Bristol cCity didnt do a much longer due diligence. Those head injuries can come back and bite. Also head in juries
provoke more head injuries, just by the brains internal responses, without any more concussions.

If the Orr deal was dependent on the Stewart then I guess it had to be done but if its just a book balancing exercise then this is a poor deal

Bristol Evening Post "...Jamaica international Stewart was in negotiations with QPR over a possible contract extension before a surprise decision by Neil Warnock to let him leave as part of the deal that saw Bradley Orr move in the other direction. "I'm really excited about the new challenge." said Stewart. "I've been in London with QPR for the past four years but I'm looking for a new start and new challenge. "City have been in and around the top six in recent season so hopefully we can go all the way this time around." Hunt and Stewart are expected to make their debuts in today's final pre-season friendly against Premier League newcomers Blackpool at Ashton Gate (3pm). James will be paraded on the pitch but will not feature." www.thisisbristol.co.uk/football/come-says-Coppell-landing-treble-signing/article-2476993-detail/article.html |

Bump Two Years... And in a separate, opposite deal, the same day: Orr to QPR QPR Official Site EXCLUSIVE: ORR IS A RANGER Posted on: Fri 30 Jul 2010 Neil Warnock has secured his sixth signing of the summer with the capture of highly-rated defender Bradley Orr. The 27 year-old full-back has penned a four year contract at Loftus Road, after Rangers agreed an undisclosed fee with Bristol City for his services. Orr brings a wealth of experience to the table, having made over 200 appearances for the Robins, whom he joined in 2004. Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Orr revealed his delight at putting pen to paper on the deal in W12, commenting: "It's a great relief to be here, because I've wanted this move ever since I became aware of QPR's interest some time ago. "It was an easy decision to make and that's not being disrespectful to City - I've just got a great feeling about QPR and the ambition that is here to achieve things. "My number one aim is to achieve my lifetime ambition of playing Premier League football and I genuinely believe I can do that here. "The whole place is geared up for success. The Manager, the players, the staff - it's a Club on the up as far as I'm concerned." Warnock was equally as pleased to clinch the services of the right-sided defender, adding: "I'm absolutely delighted to be adding a player of Bradley's quality to the squad. "It's vitally important to have a strong back-line and Bradley gives us another option in that area. "I've always thought he's one of the best full-backs in this division and he chips in with his fair share of goals too. "I've persevered for quite some time to get him here and I couldn't be more delighted." Orr - who is likely to make his full debut for the R's against Plymouth Argyle in friendly action tonight (Friday) - will wear the number 2 shirt. www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~2105131,00.html Read more: qprreport.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=15271#ixzz225TMtOmh |
