Samba looks more like the beast you need in midfield in this bloody league.

Bollocks thought that read Theo Walcott.

Doesn't look to have played for months though.

Could say the same for most of our first 11.

Don't normally judge players by their stats but 77 appearances at the age of 27 is awful! Smacks of a lack of ambition to me unless he's had serious injuries and then either way, is he the right person for a League 1 relegation scrap?

At all or just not first team games?

Marcus has played more games than both of these over the last three seasons, I recognise we are desperate with limited funds but can't see what these will add

Seem to remember Diakite coming in for a load of criticism in that QPR relegation season in 2012/13. One of a number of players at the time on inflated wages (Bosingwa, SWP, Taarabt etc) giving half-arsed performances and was outcast by Redknapp, barely played 2nd half of the season.
Looks like he bled his QPR contract dry and no-one’s touched him with a bargepole since the summer. May well add quality in League 1 and still only 27. Would we be prepared to gamble? I don’t know. Lots of questions over his fitness and commitment to the cause I think, though we are rapidly approaching last-chance saloon.

I can't say I am at all impressed looking at this.
However, I will refrain in writing them off before I've seen them play.

A fit Diakite would be quality at this level but it's whether or not we have time to mess around with players who aren't fit. We need players who can come in and play straight away

Being on inflated wages is hardly the players fault. QPR did that with alot of players at one point and couldn't get them off the books as nobody wanted to pay anything near what they were.
In all honesty, if most of us were in the same position we would stay and see the contract out!

Fisher has given you Tudgay and Thomas.

Wharton is the god-son of Nathan Blake, on that basis we'll never sign him. We were linked with Blake so many times during his career!

I mean that's the point of trials seeing if there fit , and up for it is it not ? If there not so be it
But one does look like the beast we need

The stats are why it's trials
Which is fair enough

I do trust RS's judgement, he seems the sort of guy who won't just give any old mercenary a contract...let's see how the lads do, and if they're up to the task, I'm sure RS can be trusted to make the right call.

What you on about mate?
Thomas came from the academy and Tudgay was bought by Pressley.
Fisher nowt to do with it....

I seem to think there was a bit of sarcasm in that comment!

Diakite is a good player, I just worry a little about fitness and attitude.
Still, that's the point of trials and I'm pleased RS is making use of that option. That's four potential signings today, which once again shows a) it can be done and b) he doesn't mess around.

Maybe out of the Henderson mould?

This is my first post, so please go easy!
I have a mate who’s a QPR nut (follows them home and away, and has done so for years), so I mailed him yesterday and asked what he knows about Samba Diakite.
This is his reply, verbatim…
“Hardly played for us. Sending off waiting to happen. Cannot tackle to save his life. Sent off on his debut after 20 mins. Went on loan to Watford and was sent off on his debut. Also had some mental health issues we think as well. Would not touch him with a barge pole.”

Your right, Fernandinho has just been sent off 3 times in 6 games for Man City, terrible player, will probably never play for them again......
I'm not sure how a view about a player could change due to a couple of sendings off ? Especially on debuts ? Maybe he was over excited, really wanted to show he was committed so was a bit over zealous, how do you know his temperament hasn't been worked on ?
Surely we should give any player a chance to prove themselves here
