Just before tweeting about his '5MAG'.
I bet he can't wait for a whole new club and fanbase to sell his caps and magazine subscriptions. |  |

On the whole, haven't got a problem with this if it is a one year deal. Played in the prem, former captain of a club like Man U. Brings a wealth of experience and hopefully a good professional mentality. Hopefully will help us close out vital games next season. | | | |

I think Rio will be a success at Rangers and look forward to seeing a much tighter defence than the last time we were in the prem. | | | |

The mail are claiming we're paying him £70k a week, if it's anything near that we've learnt nothing.
What other club would do a deal like that for a near 36 year old? |  |

So you start by saying a paper has claimed something but assume it true in the second sentence | | | |

Pretty sure Dave McIntyre said on twitter or in an article recently that it was a basic wage of £35k with some more based on appearances etc.
Much more inclined to believe him.
Ferdinand could be ok. United fans I know don't think he's half the player he once was but think that he would certainly offer something in terms of organisation. It's not the direction I'd like to see Redknapp & co. go with transfers, but if it's a 1 off I can certainly see their rationale.
A CB partnership of him and Onuoha (or Caulker/Lascalles) doesn't actually sound too bad. I fear for us if Ferdinand ever plays with Dunne or Hill though. | | | |

I didn't say it was true, I said if it was anywhere near that!
Christ, how do you misread a two sentence post? | |

Agreed. People always get so worked up by rumours from really unreliable sources. The last article I saw had the deal being 25-30K a week basic plus bonuses. That is much closer to what Dave Mc reported and a much more sensible arrangement. (It is still 1.5 million a year, so not exactly chump change.) Still, it always seems to me that people are just looking for an excuse to have a go at the club. |  |

Complete vanity signing and simply not what we need. This team is crying out for pace, mobility, legs. The one thing we don't need is an experienced centre-half and certainly not one who looks shot and uninterested in playing for a club like ours | | | |

Welcome Rio.
Two of the best signings made the last two years were older center backs.
Hopefully we finish the job and put a team of class around him. |  | | |
| Rio Ferdinand on 19:26 - Jul 17 with 4733 views | SomersetHoops |
I am in favour of the Rio Ferdinand signing and welcome him to the club. From what I've heard he has been very honourable about his dealings with the club and irrespective of any other factors he has said from the start he would join QPR and hasn't gone round touting his services to any club that would want him and I think there are many.
If our medical is sufficiently stringent and he has passed it without issues, then there is no reason why he can't play an important part this season. Yes he is 35, but he has quality and integrity and I believe he will commit to the club in a way that some of our previous signings of this type did not. From what I've seen of him he only knows how to play by giving his best and I hope he enjoys doing that at QPR. |  |

Well I hope they really put him through his paces in the medical..
The last 2 years at Manure he didnt play much. |  | | |
| Rio Ferdinand on 20:17 - Jul 17 with 4476 views | 08olesen |
I am fine with this, very different to the Park and Bosingwa signings IMO.
We now really need to add some grit to this team. That midfield needs pace and power sharpish. we need a Tiote, Fernandinho type player... someone who can put in some tackles, run and pass. The sad thing is we had one of them in Diakite and seem to be giving up with him. |  |

I think this is a good point. We can at least appreciate that he has a desire to be here which is not solely money - particularly if the 25-30k figures are correct. While that's still a lot, I would say it's market value so is nice to see us not paying over the odds |  | | |

to play Devil's advocate... wouldn't you say this signing is a carbon copy of Park minus the wages
Vastly experienced at the highest level, ex United, clearly not going to be starting very often and in a position we already have lots of bodies. |  |
