Definitely not a Pulis player. Was prone to injury also and did not hold the middle as well as Claudio Yacob.
Mulumbu has played more games over the last 3 years than yacob, yacob played 3 more games than mulumbu this season but mulumbu played in the African cup in january as well.

As an observation from an opposition fan yacob is the type of player that simply screens the back 4 and offers little on the ball, where as mulumbu is quite strong on the ball and pops up with the odd goal.

Yeah agree with that somewhat. I think you'll find Yacob has played more games since Pulis was in charge.
Yacob is more defensive and that's why he's a Pulis player.

Looks like a decent replacement for sterling I assume.

some people are saying unless we get 50 we will keep sterling and make him wind his contract down

we win in this situation for the following reasons

- he cant buy his contract out
- there is no release fee
- like ings, if he winds it down it will go to a tribunal, and because of his league appearances and international caps we would get over 20mil for him
- if he leaves on a free, QPR get no money of the 20% they are entitled to on a future sell on fee

the 20% is a big reason we are holding out for 50, so that we still have 40 in the bank

other rumours coming through that we are going to announce clyne over the weekend, and are balls deep with bacca and kovacic

this is the type of window we needed to have last year when we had champions league to offer, instead BR got his way and we brought ****

I do wonder though, with his coaches being sacked, and a director of football on the way, if we have taken the transfers away from him, or, when he gets back from holidays he will walk?

WOW! What a signing we have just made & now officially announced, Petr Cech to Arsenal, here I am dreaming that he will save the goal against Chelsea to win our EPL trophy! Welcome to Arsenal Petr!

Unfortunately Ospina has put in a transfer request already because he knows Cech is going to get 1st choice, I am very disappointed about that he has been great for us in his first & only season with us. Szczeny as being home grown is staying being #2 choice & being the FA cup keeper I am lead to believe.

great signing that of Cech, but I cant see Szczeny wanting to stay and be number 2

full credit if you can swing that one to him, but he is too good to warm the pine

Problem with Szczesny is that he is a can be a great keeper I'll give him that but he is prone to making those very stupid little mistakes that can lead to goals against us that we dont need, he can be too calm & relaxed in front of the goals & occasionally little errors of judgement but on the positive side he is still very young & has years left in him of the top grade, someone experienced like Cech I believe can help him & partly train him up to be our next #1 keeper. Ooospina! Is a bit older & doesnt want to be the understudy, he is Colombias #1 keeper & wants to be the #1 keeper at club level aswell so I dont blame him for leaving but I am very disappointed after putting in a great effort in his time he had with us as #1 this year.
