Left-back from QPR set to join on loan...
 










Gareth Ian "Gary" Borrowdale (born 16 July 1985) is an English footballer who plays for Queens Park Rangers. A left-sided player, Borrowdale plays as a full back or in a more attacking role, where his passing and movement have proved to be an asset to the side. He has also been known to operate as a central defender and has been deployed in this role for a number of reserve games, adding to his versatility.

Was Palarse's player of the year 2007 and represented England at all levels through U17 to U21

Sounds good...

Coventry City's Borrowdale in £500,000 move to QPR
Jan 5 2009 By Andy Turner

IT HAS to go down as one of the most baffling transfers in recent memory - Gary Borrowdale to QPR for what is believed to be £500,000.

What’s so strange about that, I hear you ask? Well, given the fact that the Coventry City misfit has not yet kicked a ball for the Hoops despite having been there on loan for a month, his move to Loftus Road seems bizarre to say the least.

Surplus to requirement under Chris Coleman, the Sky Blues clearly snapped billionaire owners Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone, and Lakshmi Mittal’s hands off when off when they offered to reimburse the majority of the £650,000 they shelled out for the former Crystal Palace left-back who managed just 26 appearances for City.

That is no doubt small change for the second richest club in England, and a great bit of business from Coventry, but it remains a mystery why the club would buy a player, and give him a three and a half year deal, when he has been with them for a month and not even been used as a substitute.

Word has it that manager Paulo Souza has even played people out of position rather than play Borrowdale who, unfortunately, is not expected to feature in Saturday’s match against his former club.

It is not even as if he has been out injured, leaving the only conclusion that his early career reputation when he was close to an England under-21 call goes before him. He can’t have been pulling up any trees in training because he would no doubt have been used by now.

But hats off to Coventry if they have managed to get virtually their money back on the player who, like many acquisitions in recent years, promised so much and delivered so little.

Has he joined us on loan because his ex gaffer might be our new gaffer ?

Oh God don't say it's another "My source is very reliable. He is a friend of a friend of a friend who is going out with this guys daughter." thread.

Can't we all just wait until it becomes official?

To be fair, The Rocket is best friends with Jake Robinson, so I would guess this would be 100% watertight.
