There are only possibly three reasons why the "record deal" could not come to fruition:-

1. Player did not fancy a relegation fight
2. We would not pay the parent clubs valuation
3. We would not meet the players financial demands


wonder which of those 2, sorry 3, that it was that couldn't be overcome

Director of Football Nick Hammond said, "Myself, Brian and Anton have been working throughout the day on one last record deal to bring a player to the club but it hasn't come to fruition.

Greaaaaat.

Again.

Just didn't work out.

Again.

Funny that.

Getting fukking bored of hearing that now. It just makes us look like arseholes. I know that the tiresome RTGs will say that it's good that we aren't prepared to budge and pay a penny over what we think a player is worth, but when your record Premier league purchase is a good £3.5m short of the next nearest low record signing by a rival PL club, it goes to show that perhaps you haven't got the best grip on market values.

Thanks for tuning in right up until 11pm - we'd have tweeted earlier but deal still possible right up until very last minute #readingfc

not sure if i can believe them.

[Ouroboros]

So what's different about QPR and Odemwingie then? Sure they could have had the player for an extra £2m.

It's not unusual that negotiations go to the wire and don't get completed.

[cmonurz]

Still, at least we met Kate Riley.

[Gus the teenage cow]

we were kind of asking for this by appointing a guy who used to wear tracksuit pants while playing as our main negotiator

4. Structure of transfer payment....was one of the things that scuppered the deal for Rogic

[southbank1871]

And Zaha I'm led to believe. We didn't have the money up front.

Good article on QPR here:

No relegation clause for Samba on a 4 and half year deal. Unbelievable!

Not really? - QPR can then sell at their price and he can't ask to leave for nothing....

This is the guy who engineered his transfer to Anzhi just a year into a new 4.5 year deal at Blackburn - denying that move was for money he said Anzhi matched his 'ambition' before moving to a team seemingly destined for relegation into the Championship, just a year later.

He'll be gone if they go down, and QPR won't recoup £12m for him as a Championship club.

[Libertine]

Oh well. We can still stay up, but if we had added that one additional piece (CAM) I would have bet money on us staying up.

Window is closed, a bit disappointed but as the saying in these parts goes...we move on.

Yeah he'll be gone but the "unbelievable" statement about no release clause isn't so much so.......QPR don't have to sell, if they do they hold the cards......Samba will pick up £100k a week for 4 years, so why would he be interested in leaving them by insisting a release clause.

I'm guessing the reason is all 3.

And the record bid was £2,500,001
