Leicester City defender Paul Konchesky has today (Tuesday) joined Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan.

The Barking-born full-back, who is entering the final year of his current contract with the Foxes, joins Rangers to begin a fifth spell in London, having previously played for Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Charlton Athletic during an impressive career.

Since joining Leicester from Liverpool in the summer of 2011, Konchesky, 34, has played 155 times for City, contributing significantly to the Foxes’ re-establishment in the Barclays Premier League. He featured 34 times in the Club’s promotion-winning 2013/14 campaign and a further 29 times during our first top flight season in 10 years last term.

Konchesky joins a QPR squad looking to bounce back from relegation to the Championship under the guidance of Chris Ramsey. The R’s kick off the campaign with a trip to Paul’s former club Charlton on Saturday.

That's some challenge. Good luck Paul (assuming he doesn't come back return of post when the FFP thing blows up).

 

[londonfox]

Good luck mate.

 

[Miles Away]

Excellent. Did his best but genuinely hated watching him play.

 

[dpjfox]

Quality player, and did ok for us, i hope QPR are paying his wages, i doubt he will ever play for us again, its one position we have adequate cover

Good pro who always gave 100% and never seemed to kick up a fuss, has been a decent servant but is now at an age where he can no longer perform at a level that supports our aspirations.

Good luck

This.

Although I'm glad to see him go for another reason - my wife fancied the pants off him!

You missed that game at Millwall then?

 

[drummindefender]

Good pro? Got sent off needlessly on more than one occassion.

Did a decent job in his first 18 months but has got steadily worse and was the weak link over the last two seasons and a liability at times last year.

Has there ever been a worse player to play over 150 games for city ?

No taste, that woman. Never had.

Probably...but your general sentiment is one I agree with.

Very harsh.
Now this scapegoat has moved on, who will be next? Wes?

Scowcroft played 147...

Scowcroft played 147...

That is scary!

Another decent Championship player.

 

[Miles Away]

Another decent Championship player.

That cost a small fortune.

Alan Maybury played 102. Seems like a lot. Felt like a lot too I must say

 

[bocadillo]

Gary Coatsworth

Jimmy Willis

Neither of whom played anywhere near 150 games. Put their totals together and it won't be much more than a hundred.
