There may of course be lots of other factors, such as his performances in the last 12 months and QPRs financial position and ambition, I have to admit, I’m out of touch on both counts... but I would have expected us to have had to pay a lot more a year ago for him.
He signed a new contract in 2018 to extend so if anything he had less then.

Like you say though it could have been numerous other things though Sheffield United play a more attractive brand of football than us, I do think we would have been an attractive proposition for him last season. Playing in front of 30k+ in a better City than Sheffield etc.
