Player Suggestion Harry Darling

[Slug]

Is there owt solid on us being in for him?

Darling is our preferred choice over Dunne. Expect it to be done this weekend.

Cheers for the info Slug .

Expected this to be the case. Low risk signing. I don't think he's a substantial improvement on what we have, but provides some much needed depth for the run-in.

Do you know if Seriki is gone for the season?

I think Darling will be a very good signing, his defensive stats are skewed due to the way Swansea play so don't let that put you off.

Not sure on how long Seriki will be out, just heard that it was more serious than a niggle and could be a hamstring tear. That came from somewhere different than where I get the occasional transfer gossip from though.

We won't have a top 2 standard CB pairing then

Souttar's injury has probably wrecked our season after all, at least from a top 2 perspective

We're going to have to start scoring goals

Might be compensated by a top 2 defensive midfield pairing.

How very dare you, not our system. Sideways, backwards, backwards sideway, quick forward, (voice from dugout, stop that attacking nonsense we’re not her to win and entertain gerrit backwards). Rinse repeat

Would have preferred Dunne tbh, Darling has better progression stats (mainly because of way Swansea play) buy Dunne has better stats in terms of shot creating actions, expected goals, expected assists as well as more tackles and interceptions per 90 in the final 3rd.

Well that's obvious, one plays full back with a bit of licence to get forward. The other is a centre half (and I don't want my centre half to be making tackles and interceptions in the final third). You're not comparing apples with apples.

thats a very good point souza and choudray give us extra protection if we carry on playing 4 at the back pretty sure if darling comes in robinson goes out and anel goes back to lcb still think top 2 is achievable but we have to start playing with more tempo and no more of this slow sideways backwards to cooper style of football

That'll never catch on

Expect it to be done (Dunne)

Any idea on fee? Some outrageous suggestions floating around.

 

[Balham]

Darling = absolute play offs signing

Dunne = slight chance of autos signing

IMO

Dunne has played at CB 11 times for QPR this season. They've won 2, drawn 4 and lost 5. Relegation form.
Dunne has played at RB 20 times. They've won 7, drawn 7 and lost 6. Solidly midtable form.

That would suggest that he is a better right back than centre half and would therefore be the obvious play off signing for us.

Don't you be here with this logic nonsense, Balham. The oracle has spoken, and us who disagree with him are footballing idiots.

Don't worry, I only mean up to 2 (thought it goes without saying)

Darling may be the better at CB but Dunne is much more in the mould of what we need, would complement what we have better and possibly transform us at set pieces. I've also seen him have good games at CB and would fancy him now, in the form of his life, to come into a good defensive unit and rise to the challenge

Might be the next accidental Wilder tactical revolution - very attacking CBs and very defensive DMs

Both = champions league??

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Both = champions league??

Both together would actually form a decent CB pairing. One hard cunt and one fancy boy. As it is we'll have 2 fancy boys

 

[MayorOJC]

Would love to sign Dunne at the end of the season. But strictly as a right back. He's not much of a centre back, we really should take QPR fans' word on that.

 

[Le Cynique]

I like this tactic of replacing a Harry with two Harrii. Maybe our end goal is to field an entire starting XI of them.

 

[Tarqs]

How on earth are some saying they'd prefer Dunne... after what the QPR fans have been saying about him as a centre half?

 

[billyblademan]

Playing 12 is probably our only chance of staying up, if we get there.

 

[Newbury Blade]

How very dare you, not our system. Sideways, backwards, backwards sideway, quick forward, (voice from dugout, stop that attacking nonsense we’re not her to win and entertain gerrit backwards). Rinse repeat

And yet somehow we are in an automatic promotion position, only two points behind the leaders.

My itk sources say

Anything between £500k and £7m with a signing on fee up to £4m spread over the duration of his contract spanning rest of this season to 5 years

You heard it here - last

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Couple of years old this and from his time at MK but can't find a Swansea one.

I think he will be really popular here

So, just from that reel, he's right footed but can, and has played on the left of a 2?

I blame the royal family. People born around the same time as Prince Harry (early 80s) lijed the name and gave it to their own kids 20 years later. Hence so many Harrys in that generation. A similar phenomenon to the huge number of Davids (including me) among the Boomers. We were all named after the Queen’s Uncle David.

As we need a CB, the better CB is probably much more in the mould of what we need.
