Hope QPR get relegated, although these players are excellent signings for a team in trouble.

You say that but Remy has score 1 goal in Ligue 1 this year with 2 starts, and M'vila seems to be on a downward spiral at the moment. Don't get me wrong, they could potentially rediscover their form and come good, but I wouldn't count on them just yet.

Because they're an unlikeable club with a red-faced arse as their manager.

Because a few people want them down, everyone just joins in.

Great signing for QPR, hopefully there will be less of Djibril Cisse who's been absolutely horrible this season.

‘There’s an awful lot of players at this club earning far too much money for what they are - far, far, far too much money for their ability and what they give to the club.’

‘I don’t really want to see the owners have their pants taken down like they have in the past. A lot of agents made money out of them.

‘I fined a player last week and he was earning more than any player earned at Tottenham. You shouldn’t be paying massive wages when you’ve got a stadium that holds 18,000 people. Newcastle holds 52,000 and most of their players will be nowhere near the wages some of the players are earning here.’

What's so funny? QPR are paying below average players superstar wages and he's saying that a club of that size obviously shouldn't be doing so.

I thought Dyer wasn't on that much - maybe £10K a week at most, but surely not on £65K?

Saying that, it's faintly incredible Redknapp said he had a team not worth the vast amount of money, and then he spends even more money than any single player currently on his books. It's amazing, and a faintly ridiculous gamble, not least considering he's still lumbered with a defence that reeks of incompetence and doesn't look that bothered in bolstering it.

Also a surprise that Remy and Yann M'Villa were allegedly Arsenal and Spurs targets a while back, and are now set to join that mess.

"You shouldn’t be paying massive wages when you’ve got a stadium that holds 18,000 people."

Surely it doesn't matter if they're good or not if that's Redknapp's view.

Remy's a decent player, but he's nothing special, lets be honest. Bosingwa isn't below average either, he's got questionable attitude and he's not been great for QPR but he gets far more shit than he deserves, he's alright.

It'd be such a shame of QPR stay up at the expense of a well run club like Wigan, even if Dave Whelan's a tit. They've managed to stay in the Premier League for years despite piss-poor attendances, have a young and exciting manager who's a credit to the division and have managed to keep their heads above water through attractive, inventive football and a shrewd transfer policy. QPR's club policy seems to revolve around throwing money at problems until they go away, and spending well above their means. You'd think with what happened at Portsmouth this sort of thing would have become a sin.

So to me it appears that its ok for clubs like Chelsea and Man City to buy the title, but not ok for QPR to buy their Premier League existence. Strange.

Firstly, I don't agree with the way Chelsea and City operate but then again, I'm just a bitter Arsenal fan. Secondly, there's no threat of either of those clubs going under - yes, they may post huge losses, but as they're guaranteed Champions League money and other large revenue streams it's not particularly risk. QPR are adopting an approach that could well be disastrous if they are relegated, of which there is a high possibility. It's reckless spending that could cause them huge problems in the long term.

I agree with all of it, but the start of the season was meant to be the beginning of something great for them, sadly Fernandez didn't realise just how shit Hughes is in the transfer market and the rest is history. The exact same thing 'could' have happened to CIty as well, but they signed players of quality (like Remy and possibly M'Vila) and put a TEAM together that wanted just one thing, to win. QPR don't have that at the moment, but they will get that mentality under Redknapp and i do believe they will stay up. It is indeed a massive gamble spending even more money and as we all know its one that could horrendously back like Portsmouth who you've already mentioned. We're not gonna know until the end of the season and if it does go wrong we can all laugh at them then, but i think that the gamble indeed pay off this time.

I just think it's a case of QPR under Fernandes trying to run before they can walk. It's a massive risk to pay wages that aren't far off the likes of Arsenal or Liverpool when they're far from established in the Premier League. I understand that with their financial clout they're more inclined to be more extravagant than the likes of Reading, but I feel they've overdone it and the threat of relegation is now a really frightening prospect given their outlay.

No. Where he commented on United once again and the FA being corrupt. I was watching the Twitter feed when the comments and video link went past on Annie Eaves' Twitter feed.

And Gill, who was speaking at the FA’s 150th anniversary launch, has now confirmed that the highly-rated youngster is on United’s radar.

“He’s one of the players we’re looking at and we’ll see what happens,” he said. “There’s a long way to go. He’s one of the players we’re looking at. That’s all I’ll say at the moment.”

Gill added: “Even if we did do something with Wilfried Zaha, that would be for the summer.”

Negotiations are understood to be far more advanced than Gill made out, however, with Palace manager Ian Holloway looking into the possibility of taking Federico Macheda on loan as part of the deal.

Elsewhere, United are also believed to be monitoring Swansea City captain Ashley Williams.

Although Sir Alex Ferguson caused controversy by claiming Williams “could have killed” Robin van Persie for kicking the ball at the striker’s head when the two sides met in December, the United boss is believed to be a keen admirer of the player.

Ferguson has increasingly focused his attention on United’s defence over the last few months, with three of his key players coming to the end of their prime. His interest in Leighton Baines to eventually replace Patrice Evra is long-standing, while Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are 31 and 34 respectively and both have a history of injury problems

Meanwhile, an Old Trafford source confirmed that the club is "waiting to see" what will happen with Wesley Sneijder.

A move is now unlikely despite extensive contact from the playmaker's agent. Only if the player's desperation to secure a move sees a dramatic drop in wage demands, would Ferguson be prepared to take a gamble.

The Scot is understood to be unwilling to alter the dynamic of a team on a good run of form by bringing such a big star into the club.

Pretty incomprehensible, to be honest, and a fair bit rude to the reporter. He's acting like nobody has come in for Zaha, and yet we've confirmed our interest.

Transfers and transfer speculation are part-and-parcel of the transfer window and most probably always will be. I think Holloway has been in the business long enough to come to the realization of that fact. So, I don't know why he seems so frustrated, he has a fantastic player performing at his club and this player has been linked with many premier league clubs.

Holloway is being a tit because he wants the media to stop writing about him and we all know that won't happen. He wants to keep him for the rest of the season because without him they won't have as good a chance of achieving promotion.
