p_mards 1,363 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Grant Hall is exactly the sort of CB Warnock wants in his team so it’s a huge positive to win the battle for his signature. Link to post Share on other sites

Solid Championship centre back with leadership qualities. If we are able to get Gibson in alongside him I think we would be nearly there defensively. Link to post Share on other sites

Curtain Ronan? I hope he pulls himself together 😂😂😂 I presume you mean Ronan Curtis? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,833 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just asked my QPR supporting mate ”What’s Grant Hall like? Is he any good?” his reply “good luck. He’s injured all the time. He wanted more than 12k a week and QPR said no way” Apparently he was out for 18 months and returned and was never the same. 3rd worst for goals conceded in the league for QPR when he was captain...

I wouldn't say he's injured "all the time". He played 30 games this season. Don't think he played any after the restart. He did miss most of the past two seasons though, only 12 in 18/19 and 4 in 17/18. 34 & 39 the two seasons before that. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 He's managed 46 league games across the last 3 seasons, though 30 of those were last season. Who knows if he's actually crocked, can't see anything about his injuries beyond a knee injury he had a couple of years ago, which he had surgery for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it doesn't necessarily look like he's an ayala with regular times out a season, just he had one major injury that derailed him for a while. Now, as to the point as to whether he's any good anymore, guess we'll find out, but if anyone is going to make a defender shine again it's NW surely. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord_Moose 387 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Happy with the Hall signing if it comes off, as Brunners points out, a CB going missing through injury isn't a new thing for us so if we can get another in and have Hall/Fry/another and maybe use Howson or McNair to fill in when needed that's not too bad. The Martin signing might be a bit like signing Nuggent, who I thought was really good for us, not the greatest striker but will certainly get goals when needed. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Chris Martin on a free might be a good Warnock signing too, I feel. Always liked him and was surprised he never eventually went on to bigger things but he's had a funny few years. Improves the squad without improving the team, for what that's worth. But if you get the best out of Britt and/or Fletch, we don't need him to be a world-beater. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Tell you what let's say we're paying him 15k a week, if he wasn't out of contract at QPR how much do you think he'd cost us normally? 5-6 million? Absolute coup for Warnock as far as I'm concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
