If we are really interested then we should be in at that price.

Are we interested?

Well you've got that back to front

Qpr have accepted the bid from Club Brugge.

I don't know much about this lad, is he any good?

Everytime I watched QPR to see if Eze would be a good signing, he stood out instead.

Is the guy any good? Must confess to not really knowing much about him, other than he's a winger

And quite often it is one click bait source with all the other click bait sites joining in. I'm not saying it is with this player but so much of the links are now just downright nonsense.

Absolute bargain another example of our scouting going array

Click bait.

There will be plenty of those. I can pretty much guarantee that 95% of Premier League signings this window will be made by clubs other than Burnley. And every single one of them (at least until they start playing) will be "an example of our scouting going awry".

Come on FFS, the title clearly is suggesting, whether it's clickbait purposely or not, that we've made a bid and it's been accepted.

I agree. 99% is click bait but with him not being the star player at QPR and less of a story as such It's more believable. Eze would of got more clicks.

I'm on 10p a click. Thanks for coming back

Just use the few brain cells that you have, that's all I'm asking.

No it's not, the article is suggesting that Club Brugge have made a bid that's been accepted as referred to by the OP.

I've never once seen this guy play but I've heard so many people saying we should be signing him. What is it about this player that whets everyone's appetite for his signature?

Which is why I said title (of this thread) and not article. I'm on about the thread title being clickbait.

Not sure, but Eze's good...

The thread title is so enticing I've clicked 42 times. At 10p a click someones in for a lovely bit of fish in a box on me tonight

If he's such a bargain at that price then why isn't there a long line of PL clubs trying to sign him?

there might be ! That assumption works both ways

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. A thread about every player that every other PL club is bidding for. I'm only interested if it's Burnley that have put a bid in.

Doesn't look bad to be honest.

There must be reason he's so cheap though.

This is exactly the type of player we should be trying to sign.

Young player with plenty of potential. The one thing that really excites me about him is his pace and directness, would be something really different to what we have had over previous years.

Hopefully we bid for him given we know what will be accepted.

Nixon doesn't know much it seems

He has a year left on his contract. Plus reduced fees due to corona.

If he's as good as he looks in the video, it's still cheap. Thing is though, we already have pretty decent left winger.

Maybe we're not out of the race yet? If we were ever in the race, that is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyfkGH7LyaY

Looks predominately right footed off those clips

Let’s face it, none of us have seen enough of him to know whether he can cut it at our level. So if the club isn’t interested in a player at such a low value then there’s probably a reason.

He can play on the right as well, we should be inquiring at least if he'd be interested in a move to the PL. For that money he'd be a good addition, and surely wages shouldn't be a problem.

I have watched him maybe 12-13 times this season. Eze is getting rave reviews for his goal contributions but every time I watched QPR he was one of there best players. (Saying that Nakhi was up there).

Can play right or left wing. one for the future when McNeil leaves or gudmundsson is injured

Question: How can QPR accept a bid from Brugge if the window isn't open yet? And why would they without seeing if other clubs might offer more?

Not disputing that you have, but how have you watched QPR 12/13 times this season?

Deals can be agreed between clubs and pre-contract agreements signed, then the player can be registered with the buying club once the window opens .

Is that a serious question about accepting a bid?

Bids can be accepted whenever, don't need a window open.

Accepting a bid may force other clubs to get theirs in now.

Fine, so if a bid has been accepted, why is there still speculation about where he might go? Surely it would be disingenuous if QPR than accepted a higher bid from elsewhere?

Hey Riley,

Watched them on tv a few times and attended games this season with a family member whilst working down south.

most of the european leagues windows are now open - we ha decided to use some of our allotted time in October for EFL only deals

Of course, but I would have thought that QPR would ask the player if he wanted to go to Brugge BEFORE accepting the bid.

Time we did away with windows and go back to the good old days when clubs could buy players any time of the year.

Hey Riley,

Does he look like he can cut it? Only seen snippets of QPR this season but him and Eze look pretty raw - which could pay dividends but aren’t exactly the kind of signings you would associate with Burnley.

BOS is very direct and has pretty good feet, he could probably do with improving his decision making in terms of when to release the ball rather than keeping on stuck at his feet and being crowded out.

At the price stated I think if the rumours were actually true that we were interested, then we would have matched that already for a player with a lot of potential and resale value.

Also the Qpr fans are not happy with this so called £4.7m price tag, regardless of him only having a year left on his contract . The majority saying it should be more like £8-£10m

From what I have seen he has the potential to be a really good player at our level. Similar to Brownhill would need a bedding in period and getting used to playing with (much) better players.

If he can work on his final ball and descision making he will be a really good player for us.

He already has all the natural attributes, pace, power, dribbling ability
