I don't think Afobe has ever hit 20 in a single season in any league has he? think he did for Wolves Fair enough, nice one. |

Afobe has enough pace to work with Powell. Don’t think Vokes’ lack of pace is an issue as long as there’s enough movement around him from the others. In terms of goals, Afobe and Vokes have both hit 20 in this league before. If we get the right supply around them I don’t see why they can’t do that again. I don't think Afobe has ever hit 20 in a single season in any league has he? He scored 22 in 46 for Wolves before he moved to Bournemouth in the Prem (admittedly that was two half seasons). |

I'm not 100% on Benny Kafobe to be honest. Think Vokes will tear it up though |

I’ll be very disappointed and think it’s a mistake if Collins doesn’t feature in a fair few games this season. Smith I think will be a good signing, Jimmy at LB I just don’t get at all.I have to admit that I'll be a little disappointed if he's going to be our number 1 in that position this coming season but a few seem to be forgetting the wing part of that position and I can see why he ticks a lot of boxes for Jones, and if he's happy then I think its fair to give him a chance to prove he knows what he's doing, maybe he didn't fancy anyone else after his 2 main targets for that position went elsewhere. Mmm, idy prefer Clucas there over JMcC, I think he’ll be a sending off waiting to happen. Seems to me that we’ve spent 6 mil on him and he didn’t perform in his career position and now we’re trying to squeeze round plugs into square holes, makes no sense to me but hey I’m not a football manager |

I think Jordan Cousins is going to be the one. Chatting to a mate who is a QPR season ticket holder. He really rates Cousins, very energetic and controls the game Think your Qpr supporting mate may have seen something a lot different to every other Qpr fan |

I haven't seen much of Powell since his Crewe days.He struck me as being a very selfish player,always trying to score a worldy when there were better options on,taking on an extra man rather than pass and when he did pass it often went astray.
For 89 minutes he'd be a frustrating weak link... and then he would score a worldy to win the match in the last minute.
Hopefully he's matured and is more of a team player now

Maybe but he wasn’t last season, mainly toss to total toss when played in midfield last season. Ducking of out tackles, poor passing, looking to apportion blame to his teammates, he really pissed me off towards the end of the season |

Must have been them 89 min worldies |

Powell is the gem in a shower of averageness that are our new signings. Just got to hope he stays fit and his head is screwed on. You weren't impressed when we first signed him! |

I don’t think he’s better than Bojan but have always said he’s been the best signing. Clearly a gamble with his attitude and fitness but never said he wasn’t a good player. And as we sign more and more players he’s looking better and better..... |

Depends which Bojan he's better than doesn't it? A) The one who played 6 or 7 games end of 2014 and looked a worldbeater. B) The Bojan before and after that who couldn't get into the game and looked totally shot. He's infinitely better than B but not as good as A. |

Powell is better than the Bojan of any time last season. Imagine the two of them playing together. They both have talent but they are both very very intelligent players as well. One of them playing more of a striker and one of a no.10. Alas we’ll never get to see it. |

Powell's got that natural confidence and swagger, you know the type, the one that for some reason Stoke fans hate and mistake for being cocky and arrogant.
He'll offer a damn sight more than Bojan, this is one decision by Jones I'm 100% behind.

It’s just a massive shame they aren’t competing. And that they aren’t going to have Ince and Verlinden either side of them. That would scare Championship defences. |

Always rated Powell, hes one of those footballers that makes it look so easy, real talent. Own worst enemy will be himself.
Hopefully we have got a fit, motivated player that will now start to show the skill he has naturally got.
A player I wish we'd have signed long ago and now hes finally here.
Plays to his full ability he can be our player of the season

Will you still moan if we get promoted this season? I mean, only a moron would react to a promotion party and be like "it's alright but don't you just wish we did with wingers?!".. And how is it cowardice? If anything it's the complete opposite is it not? We're going to play a way the manager believes in, it shows he's a man of conviction not cowardice. |
