Chelsea FC Transfer Rumours: Alex In Talks With QPR

The Alex to Queens Park Rangers rumours are heating up with the Fulham and Hammersmith Chronicle claiming that Chelsea have given their blessing for the Brazilian centre half to open talks with his potential new club. The latest reports had QPR offering £3.5M for the defender, which seems low to me, but if Alex is being allowed to negotiate the Blues must be ok with the figure.
Now that Cahill is all signed I find myself more or less indifferent to Alex's fate - he's been replaced with an equivalent home-grown player and I can understand Chelsea letting him go for a cut-price rate. I do wonder, though, whether he'll actually end up at QPR. Blackburn Rovers skipper Chris Samba has just handed in a transfer request and he's heavily linked with a move to Loftus Road to link up with former manager Mark Hughes, and that's something that would make more sense than Chelsea selling at a cut-price rate to a local 'rival'. Still, it's possible that at this point the club's just taking whatever they can get. I wouldn't really blame them, but more money would always be better.

Wish him all the best
I’ll miss the anticipation when Alex would walk up to take a freekick,though. :( He didn’t really get much of a shot this time to get into the first team…
Same here
though it’s imminent he will leave and at this stage of the whole Siberia saga it wouldn’t make sense the slightest if he didn’t move – I still loath the idea giving him to QPR. Yeah they’re no rivals whatsoever in the league or CL, and Alex alone would not make them league-beaters (I’d even go that far saying they’d have problems winning the league if we sold them our squad of 2005 – LOL) but the sheer thought of doing business with them isn’t easy on me
Tor ilisar'thera'nal!
I know
I’ve sort of come to terms with him leaving,its just the fact that I thought he could have got more of a shot,plus the fact that its to QPR,that makes it worse. I wouldn’t mind it so much,if we could ship him out of England,with the rumoured Juve interest and all. And more money! He’s worth at least 5m pounds,right?!

I wouldn't even mind less if he stayed in the EPL
but QPR? That’s like selling to Pool
Tor ilisar'thera'nal!
Would actually prefer QPR to Pool,considering recent history. But then again,QPR is still shit. Or send him to Brazil,he wanted to go there in the first place…but noone bid for him.

No I didn't say it's the same
just you could argue Pool and QPR are not the same because Pool at least are considered to be league rivals; we’re competing for the same spot (what comes out of it is yet a totally different thing … no second did I feel last year Pool were our direct rivals. Whatever). You could argue QPR are in a complete other zone and Alex alone would not make then league beaters and improve them a lot – that’s all very true. But still, QPR is a uuuuh-team and it feels sour to have one of our players go there – the sheer thought doing business with them!
Tor ilisar'thera'nal!
Yeah,get what you mean
Derby rivals. Then they screw us over. etc etc. Maybe we could exchange Alex for Joey Barton! :P

Okay
I’m really in need of some good transfer window news because the Washington Huskies have completely, 100%, f**ked over the other team I care about. C’mon Chelsea! C’mon Chelsea!
Having seen Shaq Thompson play in high school here in the Sacto area
I can only hope he follows Lupoi to UW! :DDDD
Payback starts....
….Thursday night. Hope you’re going :)
Hehe, I wish. Just gonna have to watch it on the televizzle.
Certainly good timing for the game though. Can’t wait. Gonna need 30 again from Ross though to have a chance…
still can't believe he snubbed my trojans for Cal
we all know he’s not going there for education. smh.

Because we basically never sell useful parts
If a player has value he’s got a place here and we can afford the wages to keep them.

And we usually give them the challenge
in all competitions to match their ambitions … and have satisfied the demand to compete for trophies seriously
Tor ilisar'thera'nal!
I honestly don't care if he ends up at QPR if they give us a decent price
Alex is a nice player, but he’s certainly not going to make QPR a significant threat to Chelsea. QPR will be able to add that class of defender with their money, so that money might as well go to us.

Alex to QPR - No Way
I kinda share the same feeling abt QPR with all folks over here…They are shit and deserve to be relegated.. Let us not give them Alex and help them stay in top flight… I still can’t forget the match when we were Foyed against them…that’s when our downward movement started
Cheers,
Rohi D

It's less about him helping them stay in top flight
and more that I feel bad that we’ll be sending him from a top four regular to a team that’s in the relegation battle (and I hope does get relegated). That’s a bummer. I’m surprised we haven’t gotten other offers, but I suppose QPR could just be the highest bidder.
Exactly why I wanted him at Juve or Bayern or someplace
If they were actually interested in him.

Meh, QPR - why hate because of a referee??
Chris Foy has already heaped misery onto Chelsea, Spurs, and Chris Hoy. No need to add QPR to that list of innocent bystanders to one man’s complete ineptitude.
Innocent bystanders?
Neil Warnock (even though he’s gone), Helguson the diver, Derry, Taraabt, Barton…
I can't find it in my heart to hate, in order...
a) a senile old man who looks like my grandfather
b) a senile old man who one day will look like my grandfather
c) a senile old man who looks like my grandfather
d) a person of no consequence, it turns out
e) the poet laureate of the football-twitter world
Most importantly, I can’t quite hate people and teams of little consequence. Too much effort. But don’t let me stop you or anyone else.
As long as they give us our correct chump change for a player we clearly do not want.
That senile old man said that the ref did nothing wrong after the game.
QPR = Not good.
We shouldnt give the bastards any good players.
