A lot of qpr fans saying we’re getting him half price and he’s quality!

Seen him a few times always looked decent

Feel a lot more comfortable having him as number 2 than camp

Dunno a lot about him but the type of keeper I expect.

I'd rather pay the extra bit and get Johnstone but maybe wages would be an issue.

Excellent keeper number one for me all day

Absolutely top class keeper! Great competition for Etheridge.

Deserves a chance but would have preferred a Premiership keeper Fabianski, Robles, Ben Foster, etc

Re: “ Cardiff agree fee for keeper £4mill “

Excellent signing if true, QPR fans rate him highly.
Midfield x 2 and a centre forward surely to come in now.

Here's the tweet.

Good words from a QPR fan in the reply too. Promising.

Some astute business so far with Smithie, Cunningham and Murphy.
June 30th looming with contracts running out as well.
Interesting few weeks ahead.

Good keeper. Excellent value. Think he’s a better choice for No1 for me. :thumbup:

not sure what message that sends to etheridge after a good season if we’re dropping £4m on a goalkeeper when we’re supposedly on a strict budget

Re: “ Cardiff agree fee for keeper £4mill “

When we sign someone I always check on their fans forum to see what they are saying about him and it's all good news. They think he's is the best keeper in the championship and we are getting him at a bargain price and should be paying twice as much no one is dissenting from this view either. Looks like a good bit of business. Reckon he will be first choice keeper.

Not disputing we need a keeper but there’s plenty available on a free, this looks like an etheridge replacement in my eyes

I'm sure they will both get a chance preseason and it's for them to fight it out. Personally think it was vital to get someone either as good or better than Etheridge for next season.

I don’t get why people are so against getting another keeper.

What happens if etheridge gets injured first game of the season and your left with camp?

Re: “ Cardiff agree fee for keeper £4mill “

If true, great signing. That’s 2 good keepers. Very sensible signing, sensible money and the lad can play. He’s an R’a favourite. NW should look at Freeman if QPR happy to sell their best players.....he’s the centre mid we need.

Re: “ Cardiff agree fee for keeper £4mill “

Mon Jun 25, 2018 7:58 pm

Be delighted with this signing. Just adding to the depth/competition at the club. Hopefully this means that Warnock recognizes the hole at RB?

I hope not, don’t think many on here would be happy with that :laughing6:

We need another keeper to compete with Etheridge. Some Prem clubs have 3 !

I’m sure Warnock has said in the past that he really rates Smithies and I won’t be surprised if this is true.

If Murphy signs the contract offered we don’t need anothe keeper?

How often do prem teams resort to 3rd keepers hopefully Murphy signs I’d rather him than camp
