Interesting that Bradley Orr's being giving interviews about his #BRFC move. I'm told deal definitely not done yet! #QPR

According to Sky deal is done. According to people I know who support QPR home and away he was their weakest link in the championship. So lets be honest this is a shocking signing - Lowe will be at right back all season now - I would have put him in midfield and got Sutter in.

I'd rather it didn't go through. I'd rather see Lowe make a go of it at right back than waste more money on someone who will prob never play for us.

Looking here, some think he's decent back-up, some want him out.

This could be an ok signing. A proper full back is something we have been after for ages and better to get someone who is used to the English game than some Brazilian journeyman. I"m sue he"ll do ok. On saying that I have no knowledge of this bloke at all so if he is rubbish I"ll be amongst the first to blameKean, Anderson and/or Venkys.

Positives:

He's actually a rb

He's played at a reasonable level, full championship season

There is at least some rb cover now giving the squad more flexibility

He's not exactly going to break the bank

Welcome to the club Mr Orr. You might want to ask Mr Andrews for a few coping strategies on his way out the door. Because i do believe you're about to take his title as 'Club Fall Guy'. You don't stand a chance mate. Its over before it has even started. And you can blame Steve Kean and Venky's for ruining what is left of your career.

Yup.When he plays he is going to need to have an absolute blinder or the knives are out.

honestly gave up on this window after the first week, knew we would sign dross and so we have in our two signings so far, we are heading for the championship and for defeat tommorow!!!

Cell mates!

Good luck to him. Haven't seen him play much so can't comment there. I'm not a big fan of bringing in squad players when we have good youngsters to come in but given our lack of depth at right back a solid cheap option isn't the worst thing in the world.

You are such a little ray of sunshine. So glad that you are here on the boards to lend your very own brand of support to the team!

For once i feel sorry for kean! And before everybody murders me for sayin it, i feel when he signed his new contract he was told he had money to spend in january! Yes he is deluded and yeshe doesnt help himself with his crazy interviews but i think he genuinley thought he had funds, i dont even think venkys hve spoke to him!

[roverandout]

ok ottoman, tell me what i have to feel happy about at this moment in time? i will cheer up when i have something to be cheery about regarding rovers

[LeChuck]

Nah.

If Venky's have backed away after realising what they have gotten themselves into then Kean is as much to blame as anyone. He was happy for them to believe that £5 million per season could have us challenging for Champions League places - he even went as far as to repeat the stupidity in interviews.

No other self respecting manager would have had to lie so shamelessly to get a job. No other manager would have gone along with the farce. No wonder Venky's liked his 'positivity', shame it wasn't real.

If Kean now has to live with disillusioned and withdrawn owners then he can't complain, he helped make them that way.

Agreed.

I can't comment on Orr's recent form but I did see him playing a few times for Bristol City a few years ago and he looked a competent right back in what was then a decent Championship side.

[slats]

Just hope he gets a chance and people arent on his back from the start.

Lowe as dm and Orr at rb could work out ok imo.

£20,000 a week come rain or shine, guaranteed a job he never should have had regardless of the results, with a tasty compensation in the event he is sacked.

No, I don't pity him at all. It's the fans being screwed over left, right and centre.

barton tweets crap tho

[RoverMad86]

Think I will give Orr a chance. Saw him for Bristol City a few times. Solid. No harm in signing players who put a shift in at the back.

[Lurid Coat]

Is this the guy who broke his leg in the 2008 playoff final v Hull, by the way?

Bang on comment. The deal's done so let's just get behind the guy and see how he goes.

Totally hear, hear! With his lack of experience, he should never have been given the job of managing a successful Premier League club.

However, which of us, if we were in the same position to inherit such a job wouldn't jump at the chance? I know I wouldn't; I'd have a bash at it until my inexperience was shown up!
