Seems the poku deal is off.
If its true about his wage demands then we've dodged a bullet.

Where have you seen his?

Being reported he's about to join QPR.

QPR are attempting to hi-jack the move for him that's all i have seen. But if he chooses them over us it shows his ambitions.

Or lack of GS! Ridiculous decision for the young lad but is probably driven by his agent for a bigger cut because that is not an ambitious move. Anyway we'll move on to someone else will not hinder the plans 🙂.

No biggie, we move on if true, can't be held to ransom from anyone never mind a guy that's had a good season in league 1.

Something didn't sit right on this deal for me. I don't think we were chasing this guy.
He's clearly not got the mental strength for it if we were.
More likely we are in for Croatian striker who can play on the right. That makes more sense to me. Is it Frigan? Think that's the name.

Gersgirl or maybe Poku wants to play is a far better league against better quality opposition, he does it in the championship then their will be a few EPL teams interested in him.

Seems to be on various media posts.
Few injury problems unfortunately in season 2024/ 25.
Over inflated wages seems to be a problem when buying players currently playing in the EPL, Championship, or in this case League 1.

Money talks let's me realistic we're not the most ambitious club at the moment over the last 14 years every players has said there here to win trophys and win nothing same with the manager. We need to sit back and not get to far ahead of ourselves and hopefully we will get our bragging rights back, I know myself if I was being offered 18k or 30k to do the same job it's a no brainer.

My star, but in the same vein if he produces on the euro stage he'll have stronger chance of getting into a team that's not lingering around the bottom of the EPL. For me it's a poor move but just my opinion. Like I said no harm done, we will move on.

My star who is the last qpr player to join a premier league team?
It's been 5 years.
Boy should be sacking his agent.

24 Jun 2025 12:40:42
Hes done nothing in the game to demand £30k a week so if he wants to join a mediocre championship club for money then let him crack on.

To be honest not surprised at this. We were advised shopping in England wasn't wise we have fallen victim to it before yes we've had a couple of gems but i'd rather different markets even very young lads down there will be on a pretty high wage. I agree with the ambition comments might be me personally but if i was paid even low thousands a week to play football i'd most certainly take it don't know why young lads think they need huge wages to survive most of us can manage and get by on normal job wages. That is why i love seeing youngsters joing for football reasons rather than financial ones and why i respect older players who take wage drops to play elsewhere even if those drops are still a decent amount. Just shows the mentality of football and more likely agents these days.

Struths they clearly never impressed enough did they? like i said what is he has a great season in the championship you think some epl teams will not be interested? the quality in the championship is a step up from spl, sack his agent for getting him more cash and playing in a far better league, I just see that comment as making not one bit of sense.

Do QPR pay more wages than us? I'm no sure but don't know for certain. Obvs living in London is a draw, but outwith that I think if Rangers truly wanted him we would get him. So makes me wonder if he really was a top target. QPR are miles off play off teams so it's not like he's choosing someone with a chance at getting into the PL over us. They don't have a good record of selling players to the PL either. Strange one for me.

Wishy, Rangers wage budget is roughly double QPR's one, but they could pay Poku 30k.

Football insider are saying he's of to qpr for his medical….

It's a short career and if someone is offering him circa 30k per week, he can have a very nice life if managed properly.
I've said b4, we can't compete on wages with a huge chunk of clubs down there, our highest earners are all from down south, as we had to pay the going rate to get them here.
Will be interesting to see what happens with signings and what strategy we have that doesn't bust the bank!

I think if he has a decent season another higher championship team will look at him. Baffling decision, especially with Birmingham in for him.

Why do people say he's not ambitious when you have no idea what his ambitions are. He's literally from south london, maybe he wants to be closer to his family whilst getting a better wage?
Poku may not care about Rangers and may not care to play in scotland. He's had two good seasons in league 1, maybe fancies himself in the championship to get to the prem. It's not personal and doesn't mean he's not ambitious and he might well still sign yet so let's not question his motives.

Were we ever interested that is the question?

Let's be honest we don't know we're in for him, After what the Americans said yesterday no one will really know who we're after.

My Star, arguments go both ways. Come potentially win trophy and medals, still earn a good wage. Show your talent over the European stage. Could look to move to Epl and or european stage. We are speculating on something we know nothing about orhis reasoning behind it.
If it was me for me I would be choosing Rangers as it ticks more boxes.

Only one QPR player on £28K, remainder are £16K and below.

Not bothered. Wasn't excited by this one anyway. Matondo vibes.

Pieter, how many players has chosen the championship over Rangers? but that's it we don't know if we were interested in him anyway.
