Just signed on loan.
Good luck to him.

I give up

On the RUFC Official Twitter site. Year-long loan from QPR. Rep Ireland U-21 International
Attacking midfielder, left-footed
Just need a midfield "dog-of-war" now, to complete the jigsaw

Well we needed midfielders to come in but my god the lack of quality signings in this window is appalling. Surely if you gonna loan players in, it should be from the division above there's no logic behind this. If he can't get in a poor championship team which QPR are then that means he's not good enough to play in the championship.

He's been given shirt number 17, Towell's old number, so read into that what you want. I was starting to think that we might not sign anybody AT ALL, so good luck to him!

Maybe he is championship standard, as he's played 17/18 games a season for the past two seasons, and it is more a case that QPR's recent managers (head coaches, or whatever they call themselves) are not Championship standard????

That includes the current "wally with a brolly" who, to the best of my knowledge, has done the best part of F@@@ All since one good season in Holland.

The "Fella-with-the-umbrella" is not always the best judge of players, tactics, etc, so hopefully Manning will do well for us.

Just messaged a QPR fan, who I know from working down there and he's not a happy bunny!!

He can't understand why they've loaned out a good young left sided wide player, who can also play full back or wing back to, in his words, one of our "relegation rivals"...……..he's obviously optimistic for the coming season!!

Can't say as I've seen him play before but good luck to him while he's with us.

[PerigordMiller]

Lets not judge till he's played for us.

Michael Smith couldn't get into Bury team! So far doing alright. I don't expect us to be signing household names. As others have said could do with that midfield ball winner, who can get stuck in, disrupt opponents passing around us.
