myol'man Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Bradders has been retained by QPR, so we might see him chasing Walcott, Giggs, Lennon etc ! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/9502227.stm Go Bradders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 They paid £500k for him last summer and he's under contract, so he was never going to be let go. Whether he gets a decent run in the side in The Prem might be another matter....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 With the revision in ticket prices this year, QPR management have already proven they are hard-edged businessmen without sentiment. Its stands to reason they'll be looking to improve every position as the opportunity arises. He's a great player, but as soon as they identify a better player in within their budget then Bradders will be sidelined. Just imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz (as well as everyone other city fan) would be pissed off if he found out that there was a better player than Mcalister within our budget and we didnt look to replace him. You can see why players are the money grabbing unloyal bunch they are when clubs act like this. The world now is that no one owes anyone anything, the chairman doesnt owe the fans, the fans dont owe the players, the players dont owe the fans - everyone for themselves untill its extra beneficial to cooperate.

Redcliffe 78 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Apart from going to prison So if you go to prision you are not honest no more and people wonder why people end up back there, if employees had the same attidude as you we would need to build more prisions, did you watch the prision show recently?

Murraysrightplum Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Generally I wouldn't consider convicted criminals as honest. Ok fair enough you can say he has paid for his crime but, as you point out yourself, the prison system doesn't tend to reform criminals as they end up back in there. But you are focussing on the 'honest' part of the quote. I was talking more about the 'pro' word. Getting arrested, headbutting the skipper etc. not what I would call very professional...

Happens everyday on the training ground Carey dosn't say bad about him, we all do things in life not very pro, but as a footballer he gives 100%, that is a true pro imo, two mistakes in his life and people like you jump on it?

I can't believe it happens very often in training when the 2 players are on the same team. If someone catches you in a tackle in training then yes there will be problems but when you are training together on the same team? I think Orr was a good servant to the club, not technically the best footballer but always gave 100% as you say. But I wouldn't describe him as a good honest professional because of the reasons I've already stated. They way he left also is slightly questionable, even though it is up to him whether he signs a contract or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generaly on the training ground there are fights every other week, stupid comment, that was a heat on the moment exchage that would of happend, did when they train play in the same back four or was Orr up front that game.

Murraysrightplum Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I know they were in the same team when it happened! What I was saying is that yes there will be small bust ups in training but only between players on different teams in that training session. Imagine the first 11 versus subs + a few reserves in a training game. Yes it will be heated - the reserves trying to prove they are good enough etc. but how often would the first 11 end up headbutting each other in a training game like that? And even if they did there is no way it should happen on a saturday in front of media, TV etc. Completely unprofessional and at the time we were a bit of a laughing stock because of it.

Redcliffe 78 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I don't think there are! So you don't have a row everyother week in your proffession, it does happen, players do not get on in the dressing room and it does happen, the papers have been showing pictures of the idiot at Man C, that happens every day but only certain players make a big story.

Firstly you are talking utter rubbish - bradley had some bad times - but in the end he was a model pro - and he is definately missed. As for the heabutt - this myth that bradley was the aggressor is totally untrue - if you watched it louis was worse than bradley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point isn't how hard was the headbutt, but whether it was unprofessional or not. He got sent off for it for gods sake! He brought the club into disrepute by headbutting (albeit softly) a team mate. He also got arrested and sent to prison for fighting again bringing the club into disrepute. He was therefore unprofessional. Do I win yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Mittal, with a 33% stake in QPR, is apparently pulling back from pushing for a cash splurge at Loftys Road following the feud, as the BBC called it, with his nephew who resigned over the ticket price hike. We might find that Warnock, if he stays now his major boardroom backer has gone, may find transfer funds a fair bit less than rumour might otherwise have had it. If that pans out I can see Bradders being quite integral to the first team and what might be a bit of a struggle for QPR next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Firstly you are talking utter rubbish - bradley had some bad times - but in the end he was a model pro - and he is definately missed. As for the heabutt - this myth that bradley was the aggressor is totally untrue - if you watched it louis was worse than bradley. Indeed, thought Louis was acting like a bit of a dick that day, but hey ho. That game and Bradley's interview after gave the club a serious shake up. We pulled through that period where not much was right because of the professional attitude and "life on the line" mantra of players like Brad. Sorely missed, Would absolutely love to have him back.

InCider Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Saw this today (linked from BBC gossip column). Would suggest Bradley might not get in the side if true, unless they plan to use Eboue as a midfielder. http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/865349-emmanuel-eboue-eyed-by-qpr-as-arsenal-look-to-sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redland Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bradley Orr was always underrated at City. Not only was he a solid, dependable right back he was also a great motivator on the field and a captain by nature if not in name. Whilst his distribution was not always the best it was noticeable that when he did not play (such as when he delayed signing a new contract under GJ) our results suffered considerably. For whatever reason we invariably did better with Bradley in the side than when he was not playing. We have sorely missed his leadership skills since he left. He was an excellent player for us and I wish him all the best in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wish him all the best in the PL. Agree with last poster, always did a job for us. Popped up with the odd goal too, though his distribution should have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
