Parker 8m
We could have got £25m for him and Defoe if QPR had stayed upWe will NEVER get 8m for Parker, unfortunately

Id love Parker to stay. He obviously isnt a starter or able to do a whole season, but what an option to have off the bench or in the cups.
I can't imagine a situation where we would willingly need to have our play become disjointed and needlessly slowed down by his glue like right foot.
No, but I can imagine a situation where we need someone to make a tackle, break up the oppositions play and provide the odd assist while Sandro finds his form and settles after missing nearly a year of football.
He is perfect cover. What should we do, waste time selling and replacing him this window......and yet again spend the energy we should be spending on a striker in midfield?
Parker looked decidedly passed it at the end of last season.
Yeah, but I mean keep him as a squad player. Good drive and passion.
Would rather bring him on late in a cup game, or towards the end of the season in a big game to sure things up, than Livermore or Holtby..
If he was passed it at the end of last season what makes you think he will be any good at the end of next?
agree completely, when needed Parker can do a job. I'd much rather have him to come on than Huddlestone/Livermore if we need to see out a game and break up their midfield.Because he will be a utility player as opposed to starting every game for 6 months
Point of parlimentary procedure.......rules clarification......is it just what we are spending or are we supposed to guess sales as some have already done?
Motion to table the proceedings to subcommittee.
Can I get a second?

but he didn't do a lot of that this season.
Just think that if we can recoup even a fraction of the £8 Million, we should.
yeah he did do a job when he came on a couple of times. Basel away springs to mind as well. But like you said he's not consistent, and he's still pretty young so we'll be able to get a few million off someone like Sunderland so I won't be gutted if he leaves.It's funny I never wanted to see Hudd in our team again, and twice he came on at the back end of the season and changed the game (City at home was one). That said, he's nowhere consistent enough and we can get some money for him.
