Not all footballers are idiots it seems. 18 Year old striker Ray Jones has finally signed professional terms with QPR, penning a 3.5 year deal.
Plucked from Dalston Park obscurity at 16, only to find himself playing first team football in 18 months with Rangers, I think Jones would have been extremely unloyal to leave QPR on a free transfer before ever signing pro terms.
John Gregory feels Ray Jones had been ill-advised by his agent. Ex agent and now QPR chairman Gianni Paladini is in full agreement - unsurprisingly. Gladly, sense prevailed. I wonder what sell on clause Jones has in his contract.
Last and least - Fulham's disgraceful 50k attempt to lure Ray Jones from their struggling neighbours at Loftus Road, before he ever signed pro terms, will come back to bite their sorry Hammersmith backsides. It's all in the game Fulham manager Chris Coleman will say. Right as he may be technically, Fulham are still bang out of order.
