Much maligned when he first joined, I’m now disappointed if he’s not starting, a beast of a striker who seems to be improving all the time. |  |

I am astonished at that. |
That’s just the cost of a decent night out in Zurich, excluding food. |  |

"£500k" can be spun any way you want: £500k saved in wages, £500k he'll be getting over there, mutual termination / both clubs agree to phrase it as a “£500k deal”...
Its highly unlikly a clean £500k is landing in QPRs account, its probably something like:
£0–100k actual fee
£400k+ wage saving
Marketed as “£500k deal” just because. |  | | |

I liked Frey so happy he can continue his footballing career back in his native country.
Either that or we could see his art work in the tate modern |  | | |

An awful lot of work being put in to making Dave Mc wrong. If it's a fee, it's a fee. None of the purported chicanery really makes sense. |  |

Not really. Dave's 100% reliable.
It's described by WLS as a "£500k deal", not fee. So, it's estimating what a £500k deal for a player on £10-20k a week with between either six or 18 months left on a deal we are not allowed to know the length of might constitute.
I imagine it's not paying QPR a £500k fee and then also paying Frey the same in wages for another deal. Mrs Frey might be really good with organising the players' wives but her husband is no longer a £1m investment. Most likely I think it's paying Frey's contract up of £500k and relieving QPR of that obligation. A "deal" that all are happy with. |  | | |

if we could ever have got 10 games in a row from him he may have been a decent goal scorer but was ever injured and broke down often, even the RAC could not get him going.
if we get a fee then great, good luck but we are Freying tonight. | | | |

If what you say is correct then it would just be a free transfer.
Dave report is just that, a report. It's not a legal document. So I'm reading 'deal' as synonymous with fee.
And what would be the motive for this subterfuge? Nobody would be complaining about Frey leaving on a free. Sometimes things are simply what they appear to be.
But since no public comment on QPR evades close scrutiny, perhaps Dave can clarify. | |

Fond memories of him actually playing 90 minutes against Leeds at home last season, and at the final whistle him collapsing to the turf like he'd just run the London Marathon 
All the best Michy. |  |

Since this is probably the only place that QPR nerds can geek out over what may make up a transfer, allow those of us who wish to speculate do that. Seems harmless, no?
No, it wouldn't be a free transfer while his contract is still active.
He would not be leaving for free unless his contract is paid up, as it's six months old, has either half a season or a season and half to run, and is worth to him at least £300k. Probably nearer £500k. Either QPR pays it up or the new club pays it up.
He and his missus may be lovely but they aren't ripping up contracts for free.
Why is there subterfuge? Nobody knows. Why is there subterfuge over contract lengths, or why a muscle injury might be described as a contact injury without saying what the contact injury is. There's no reason for any of it. It's just the way QPR does things now.
Why would Dave clarify? Not his job. But look. In one WLS transfer story Frey leaves in "a £500k deal". In the previous story Obikwu "joins QPR for an initial fee of £500k".

Late to the party, but to echo what other have said, a great guy off the pitch - you won’t find anyone at the club with anything but positive things to say about him, and he’s been extremely supportive of the younger players in the squad.
Obviously on the pitch it was all a bit uncomfortable watching after his initial 6 months but you never got the impression he ever gave less than 100% and he also has left a lot of money on the table to go and play every week.
Can we have 11 of these characters on the pitch please. | | | |

This is just total speculation.
And to add to it: we recently extended Frey’s contract so if Grashopper wanted him they would have to pay us a transfer fee. Why would QPR have to pay up his contract if another team were signing him and paying him a wage?
It’s proper spin to try to suggest that the £500k transfer fee reported by a reliable source is actually just Frey’s QPR wages he’ll no longer be getting. [Post edited 27 Jan 18:09]

1/ Of course it's total speculation. This is a QPR fan messageboard filled with 1000s of threads where dozens of QPR nerds like us speculate wildly. It's the point of the thing. Would love you post under every theory in all new threads: "this is just total speculation."
2/There is only speculation about the fee because both QPR and Zurich describe the fee as "undisclosed". If QPR started to disclose transfer fees and contract lengths as they did for many decades without mishap we could stop speculating about them.
3/ Just because Frey signed a contract, it doesn't mean QPR held out for a fee. Nourry says Frey came to him as he wanted to play and the club acquiesced to a move. My guess - speculation - is that the club shook hands on the contract with him and Zurich took it on. That's the £500k "deal" described on WLS, instead of a fee they might usually describe. He's got a deal until 2028 at Zurich now and we've lost an obligation to keep paying a guy who is nowhere near the first team for [redacted]. A good deal.
4/ Who cares? It's only small print speculation. The word "fee" appears nowhere, it is not reported as a fee. Deal is reported so we can speculate about that deal. That's not spinning - who would I be spinning for anyway? | | | |

If so, Frey will literally be laughing all the way to the bank. The player lets himself go to a point where he contributes the square root of nothing for months, gets a new job (somehow) with a top-division Swiss side, and is paid a small fortune by us, on top of his new contract, to take a taxi to the airport.
I don't especially dislike Frey, but, really, don't let the door hit you on your big behind, son! Football really stinks. |  |

Don’t really see why. He just signed a new contract. Of course as always we don’t know how long, but I think a reasonable estimate would be summer of ‘27. He is also a striker, which is the most expensive position on the pitch and at 31 should be good for another two years. Sounds about right to me. | | | |

Solid professional. Gave it his all. Technically limited and completely lacking pace., which made his impact disappointing.. sounds like he did gar more than we know, off the pitch.
I wish him well and would welcome him back. As a supporter. |
I thought you were describing a certain other striker with very similar, ahem, attributes.
Regardless, good luck Michi, top bloke who always tried his best and that is always appreciated. | | | |

Why on earth would a player deliberately let themselves go when, as an alternative, straining every sinew in order to perform well in the English second tier could attract the attention of top half Championship or even lower half Premiership clubs?
If Frey were of the mercenary type, the alternative strategy would be far more lucrative, surely? |  |
