Meh! Makes sense I suppose :shrug:

He can come in for Ifil or Aljoffree next time they are out rather than move Vincent in from left back.

Bit more about a third signing here:

Could be PK ...

looked on a few qpr forums, they generally seem disappointed to see him go, as very highly rated, seems to be a victim of their new money and all the incoming transfers, could be a good deal if it happens

It may be irrational, but I still worry Ifil will be off before the window closes.

In reality, I guess Aidy Williams doesn't have much more to give playing wise. So we need cover.

I guess there is a fair chance Blackburn will be out on loan if this comes off.

a partnership of aljofree and williams would be a disaster of reeves and viveash proportions...i don't think we'll see williams again this season.

kanyuka's built like a brick shit house and is quick too - ifil mk ii?

You're absolutely right.

Disagree - Vincent's always done a sound job at CB and Nicholas was back to his best at Walsall at LB.

That works fine.

I didn't say Vincent had not done a good job. What I meant was that it would be a straight swap as opposed to moving Vincent over and bringing in Nicho (and I'm not saying Nicho doesn't do a good job when called on either :? ) I am working on the assumption that it is best to make as few changes as possible to the team at any given time.


Title: Patrick Kanyuka
Post by: DMR on Saturday, January 19, 2008, 22:27:02
Fair enough. I think I'd rather have Vincent as captain and centre-half anyway, with Nicho at LB, and Aljofree can jog on.




(I bet thats not well received but hey-ho).

People moan that all Aljofree does is hoof the ball clear, i'd sooner he did that than fuck about with it just outside the area and cost us a goal.

aljofree is class, his distribution is a little better than jerel's you might say

the term 'jog on' is so cringeworthy i'm cringing. funny that

Good signing by the looks of it. Sounds OK to me anyway. We need another CB with Williams all but finished i think and Blackburn not up to the job.

Post by: janaage on Sunday, January 20, 2008, 11:38:25
does anyone know who the black fella with the white mohichan in a town tracksuit was in the corporate area.  He looked like Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man.

As for Hasney, I'd be gutted to see him dropped, as I think he's had a blinder this season.  For the first time in ages I have every condince in Brez, Comminges, Ifil, Hasney and JV.  Very good back line that.

We may be a striker and a midfielder away from a very good, footballing, side.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, January 20, 2008, 11:41:54
It was Wesley Snipes


Title: Patrick Kanyuka
Post by: Frigby Daser on Sunday, January 20, 2008, 11:54:02
It was Cliff Puffett in fancy dress.

As for Kanyuka, rudeboy or not, the QPR fans do seem upset - if he is that good, could be a tidy bit of business:

Kanyuka was and still is very highly though of by Rangers fans, just very unlucky with injuries and after being in and doing well in our first team he got injured right around the time we got bought out and brought in 6 defenders pushing him way down the pecking order..........

definately good enough for the CCC, and Prem clubs were looking at him last season so if he can stay fit will be brilliant in League 1


Nicked from another site, looking good eh chaps and chapesses?

Yeah, we've got a bit of "affirmative action" going on at the moment haven't we.

This Kanyuka chap looks promising, him and Ifil would be a scary proposition for any striker.

Another view:

Quote
I hear rumours that Swindon are going to pick up recently released QPR full-back Pat Kanyuka. This kid is a FULL INTERNATIONAL for DR Congo and will be a definite premiership quality defender in years to come. I was astounded to hear we let him go (most likely because he's had 15 months off with a career threatening injury), I hope you guys pick him up he will be a star.



Title: Patrick Kanyuka
Post by: wheretherealredsare on Monday, January 21, 2008, 09:36:08
Be interesting to see how long his contract will be, presumably after he passes a medical. Not wanting to be a wet blanket because it looks like a smart bit of business, but reading between the lines I hope his injury history hasn't spoilt his potential.

Short term deal seems sensible.  Nice to have another option, every time Hasney doesn't get straight back up after a challenge I cringe a bit, though Vincent does OK in the middle.

Post by: Mark D on Monday, January 21, 2008, 11:54:59
He is a good, young Central Defender, and with good coaching will, I'm sure, prove to be an asset to STFC. Still learning his trade and had a difficult time with niggly injuries over the past few months, but a good acquisition for the club.

Great signing. A shame we didn't get him for longer though because he could get snapped up at the end of the season if he does well. But i'm pleased with that. More cover is what we needed at CB.


Title: Patrick Kanyuka
Post by: Ironside on Monday, January 21, 2008, 13:21:45
Living in deep QPR country, the overwhelming opinion is that there's lots of potential there.  He was very good when he had the little run the side before injury.  The fact that QPR are loaded now is probably the only reason they haven't persevered with him.

Seems like a good signing if he can stay fit.

i have noticed that hasney is a bit of a wimp, isnt he?

first time he gets hit he goes down.

soft northerner.

what i do think though is that we need to have songs for each player.

"you'll never beat kanyuka" would be a good one.

by the way, 2 own goals on saturday and none by des walker. forest fans must be amazed.

Just saw him interviewed on SSN.

Interviewer: "So what type of footballer are you?"

Kanyuka: "Well, er, I'm an old fasioned type of defender, er, I just try to head the ball out to someone that can play".

I like him.  8)
