Seriously, there are other areas of the team that need strengthening before we look at replacing Moore. And given our financial limitations I'm sure we aren't looking to add any competition for him either permanently or on loan.
We need LWB, LCB, AMF, CF, before looking at a keeper (imho)
Not to mention a few other players in various positions to off load somehow.
First two I’d agree. AM we’ve signed Palmer by all accounts so wasn’t counting that. I’d take a CF on loan who offered something different, but I wouldn’t replace our two first choice CFs ahead of Moore.

Agreed, I think for the time being Im comfortable with the goalkeeping department no obvious areas in need of improvement there at the moment, we need to focus on bulking up the squad with more strength in depth for the time being
I think the obvious areas where we need players are LWB, CB, AM, ST
Probably need 1/2 LWBs dependant on where we will be using Bidwell, maybe Abdul Rahman Baba or Lee Buchanan,
2 CBs definitely a LCB and a suitor for Fadz, I’d like Barbett and maybe Michael Hector,
A young AM who can fill in whenever Palmer or O’hare are unavailable although I reckon Dinanga, Bapaga or Rus could potentially do that,
ST we need someone different there that adds a new dimension to our game and can play off Gyokeres, maybe someone like Plange or Maja
I'd have liked him to sign for us but not overly bothered he didn't. He did well but wasn't a revelation, I'm sure we can find someone who can do the same job.
I heard the same thing
But @Skybluebeliever said more recently that there was a possibility JCS move might be back on as his other option(s) had fallen through
Tbh I have no issues with JCS going to QPR if the offer suited him better
Players learn quickly how ruthless football is
And it's not just the clubs, fans can turn quickly too
Would've been nice to get him, but don't feel he's irreplaceable. Showed how useful a left-footed LCB is, so I'm sure we're looking at others.
If he wanted reasonably high wages and his injury record continued as it has in the past I feel we could possibly get better VFH elsewhere (provided we get the right players)
His signing on fee would I guess have been less than a transfer fee for an equivalent player. Plus, his age meant he would have immediate transfer value on the books.
Plus, the hours of time he’s spent getting in sync with our system and teammates should never be underestimated.
However, if his wage demands were too high then paying him may have caused disharmony amongst the squad.
