QPR Bid For Ben Turner

Fri Aug 24, 2012 11:56 pm

According to various sources in London.

Firstly any truth in this?

Secondly is he any good? Excuse me for my ignorance but I've never really heard of him, is he a centre back?

As I say mate never really heard of him. Some players pass you by or you don't hear a lot of so maybe I just missed him?

I take it from you're posts he's a decent player then.

One of the best centre backs we've had in recent years.

His form etc. has been rather difficult to miss actually!

I knew there was a reason the Malysians were greasing each others palms.

He's a classic CB Stan. Big, Strong, Good header, blocks alot of stuff, not too pacy but builds up a good head of steam when he gets going, great tackling skills, good recovery and he's young. He's a brick wall basically.

The most impressive thing about him is his consistency i'd say.

You obviously missed the Carling Cup Final then, he was outstanding along with Hudson :ayatollah:

If we have ambitions to go up then the club will not sell

Re: QPR Bid For Ben Turner

We havent got enough defenders to sell him!

Thanks for the breakdown he sounds good.

Yea I just googled him & now recognise who he is now, I actually thought he was someone else when I saw his picture.

Maybe QPR fixing you up with 3 players will come at a price?

It may all be bollocks but few different people have mentioned it tonight so thought their might be something in it.

As mentioned on here though if he's that good & you're looking to go up you won't sell. Hopefully someone itk can shed some light on the situation.

Re: QPR Bid For Ben Turner

Hands off :D

But thanks for the 3 you sold us Stan!!! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Really building a good squad which should take us up, and I hope Ben is part of that!!

Don't say that. 90% of users claim to be itk. :lol: That's what made Polo and CP76 quit the board. He may still be lurking around here somewhere though...

One of our best players IMO. Better than Roger Johnson, and without the lifestyle.

Would be a travesty if Big Ben left.

Hes not that good and would stand out like a sore thumb marking some prem strikers so i doubt your in for him although he can head/tackle thats about it kind of slow but thats all center halfs are these days nothing special about turner theres many of them out there who can head/tackle like him :ayatollah:

Easy to miss if he's watching a team in the premiership :lol:

Ffs at some of the childish comments.. Stan hardly controls QPRs transfers does he? He's been a great poster and a good source of info.. Of course a player like Turner is going to attract attention! :lol:

Stan, as stated by someone else he's one of the best centre backs we've had in years, a top pro who is young and British. He's not the quickest but he wins 95% of the ball in the air and covers for his partner well. A very no nonsense player.

If you did manage to pry him from us I have no doubt he could hold his own at the top and I amongst many would be gutted if he left.

Stan he is a good centre half at championship level obviously not proven at premiership level. I take the Dawson deal is dead in the water then and what about Carvaliho.

Stan, I know Westham were sniffing about, but thankfully nothing became of it.
