If they were not meet with Richie's approval then he would not have them. He would rather work with nothing than be forced into something he doesn't want. He's done that sort of thing before and regretted it (spoke about that kind of stuff at MTM).

Who knows? Jackett has said he had no choice with the muppets that came here in January, it was them or nothing. They were the best Ling could dredge up.

I’m not so fussed about Kelman, so long as Smith and Drinnan aren’t out for much longer which were told will be the case. He’s here to fill a short term gap and will then be behind Drinna and Smith in the pecking order.

But the boy in midfield had better be the real deal. He should be here to start games ………

Oh dear hilarious …..some of the so called experts on here

How is this hilarious?

The boy in midfield is the real deal.

QPR are stuck with Macauley Bonne who they can't shift and sadly do not rate so I doubt if Kelman will be recalled

Anyone who thinks Kelman will be behind Smith & Drinnan, isnt living in the real world

Kelman is light years ahead of Smith & Drinnan in ability, literally in a different league

The fact he's on loan, is irrelevant. Wellens will put the best player in the team regardless

I haven't seen Kelman in action as of yet, but sh*t, if he's 'light years' ahead of Smith and Drinan he must be some player.

Not light years but certainly better at the moment. He hassles defenders as good as Drinan, is quicker than him and can shoot from many angles. Not as good in the air as either Drinan or Smith though but who cares as we are playing more on the floor now.

After a mediocre debut, yep he’s definitely got the starting shirt for now. He’s also getting fitter and sharper game by game.

The only downside is his size. There will be occasions when a front 3 of Kelman, Smyth and Theo just isn’t physical enough.

Kelman has become the elephant in the changing room, l put him ahead of Smith and Drinan, both will have to be at the tonof their game to threaten Kelman's starting berth. Sadly, love him to bits, l can see no way back for Harry except for injuries and suspensions.
I don't buy the physical thing, pace and skill will normally outdo a big lump of a centre back. Hoofball will be the downfall of our forwards, that must not be allowed to happen except for Row Z style clearances when necessary.
