QPR linked to Graham, McAnuff, Phillips and Steve Fletcher. Bellamy and Ebanks-blake discussed

Neil Warnock will definitely have to splash the cash in the summer if he wants to generate a side looking for a mid-table finish, but let’s be honest, with the money floating around at Loftus Road Warnock can probably afford to buy a second and third string side which could achieve just as much as the first could.



At the minute Rangers are dependent on Taarabt and I personally believe that a number of their players are Championship level performers, including Helguson. That said, in the form of Shaun Derry and Clint Hill, they have two experienced players who wear their heart on their sleeve week-in, week-out. Who can blame them, at the ages of 33 and 32 respectively, this will surely be their last chance to battle with the big boys.
For a side who have kept 22 clean sheets already this season, do not expect many additions to the defence in the summer transfer window. They need to bolster their attacking options, especially when you consider their top scorer plays in midfield. To be fair, Warnock looked to have signed a proven goal scorer in the summer when he bought Mackie in from Plymouth for an undisclosed fee, and after the striker scored 8 goals in his opening 7 games for the Hoops everyone forgot about Taarabt for a moment. This was until Mackie suffered a double-leg break in January, ruling him for the rest of the season.


One player who Rangers fans would love to see is Watford’s Danny Graham. The R’s are rumoured to be interested in the Championship’s top goal scorer, who netted twice against them in December to inflict Rangers’ first loss of the season (the one and only game I was unfortunate enough to attend). Other strikers QPR may be interested in are Sylvain Ebanks-Blake of Wolves and Craig Bellamy of Manchester City. Ebanks-Blake will definitely want to stay in the Premiership if Wolves do not avoid the drop, although he has only netted 7 times for Mick McCarthy’s side. As for Bellamy? Well, I doubt the Welshman is ever going to play for City again and I think that he would play a key role with the right service from Taarabt, Alejandro Faurlin and co.


A few more names include Jobi McAnuff, Matt Phillips and Steven Fletcher, however these are all just rumours. Rangers have been thrilling to watch all season and have the right man in charge to steer them across the line. The next step will be cracking the Premiership, but who knows, with the right additions in the summer, QPR may just be able to relive the successful days where Rodney Marsh ran the show. Step forward Adel Taarabt, your time has come.
