Fans of QPR have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which highlights footage of the club’s former striker Eduardo Vargas, who is now valued at £3.6 million (as per Transfermarkt).
The footage in the post highlights some of the Chilean international’s best goals and moments for the club, while also asking the question of how good QPR fans thought the forward was during his time in West London.
In reaction to the footage, fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many claiming that the 30-year-old was often played out of position by former manager Harry Redknapp, while others have stated their belief that he was underrated.

Very good indeed just a shame we didn’t play him enough.

Believe it or not, he’s one of the reasons I am a QPR fan. Absolute baller, and 10x better than that for Chile. Massively underrated, would love him back

Underrated?

What do we think?
Fans of the Rs obviously remember Vargas very fondly from his time spent with the club, despite the fact he played just 22 games in West London, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
However, the fan’s claims are true regarding the Chilean being played out of position, as the centre forward played just two times in his favoured position as a striker at the club, playing seven times from the right-wing, five times from right midfield, three times as a second striker and two times on the left-wing.
