A good pal of mine is a QPR season ticket holder and says he is quality. A real leader. Was gutted when he went to Ipswich.

This is a good signing.

He’s not a loan, signed till the end of the season or the end of his season when he joins the other sicknotes

He had a nasty injury 2 years ago, any other evidence of him being a "sicknote"?

Soccerbase doesn’t make pretty reading. He’s had 2 full(ish) seasons at QPR, other than that he’s never played regular football.

Isn’t that why we have got him. If he had played more he would have gone to a much bigger club like, oh I don’t know, Bristol Rovers.

Agree. When I first heard about this signing I thought, 'good, this must be a striker coming in'.

Wellens specifically talked about wanting a more experienced midfielder coming in so guess that is fulfilling that need. Clearly doesn't think Warrington is ready for first team football so it makes sense if that's seen as the issue, but agree doesn't address our biggest weakness.

People moaning we haven’t got an experience and our midfield is losing battles then moan when we bring in an experienced midfielder.

Who, by the way, plays primarily in a position where we don’t have anyone. Not that most fans seem to understand that

He was the guy keeping El miz out of the Ipswich team 2 years ago, sounds like a good signing to me.

I think we only have him because he’s been injured . If it wasn’t for that I think he’d be in the Championship. Please God he’s now over his injury problems

On the clubs website he said he’s a box to box midfielder . Isn’t that what Idris is ?

Yes he is,along with the other five and the five keepers we so badly need. Fantastic. Plus he’s a possible sick note 👍 fits in nicely

Spot on, this is a key area that's been lacking a bit of nous and leadership, good signing as long as he stays fit and doesn't end up with the Callum Reilly award at end of the season

It's about quality, we may have 5 but they don't add up to a solid unit at present. Needs a wiser older head in there to settle things, perhaps even alongside Pratley for the time being.

The GK situation is ridiculous I agree, I see Keely chucked one in during his Ireland game so doesn't look like he'll be bothering Hemmings for the #1 spot either
