Hughes will ensure that there will be no repeat relegation fight |
Hughes has brought in a mixture of Premier League
experienced campaigners as well as class acts from Spain and Italy in the form
of Esteban Granero and Julio Cesar. Despite not spending huge sums on transfer fees,
one thing is for certain, QPR are going to have a huge wage bill. A transfer
that hasn’t been mentioned much is the shrewd addition of Park Ji Sung from
Manchester United, whose commitment levels will go down well with the Loftus
Road faithful.
The huge overhaul that has taken place at QPR will take time
to happen; however QPR have the right man in charge, and Hughes has found a
club that ‘matches his ambitions’ having left QPR’s London rivals in
controversial circumstances last year. An opening day thumping at the hands of
Swansea was the far from ideal start and with fixtures against the likes of
Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal coming up in the next few weeks, it’s likely their
best form will come later on.
Key player – Stephen
MBia. The Cameroonian centre half addition from Marseille is another smart
move from Hughes. Defensively for a while QPR have been average, and after
missing out on Tottenham’s Michael Dawson, MBia should be the man to make them
more solid. MBia brings Champions League experience and is also the perfect
age, with him coming to the Premier League at the peak time in his career.
Prediction – 9th.
Despite the huge wage bill and the fact numerous players won’t have much
sell on value in a few years time, I do like what Hughes has done this window
and it won’t take long for them to be competitive, and were better away to
Manchester City in defeat then they have been at any point this season. Given
time QPR will have a brilliant squad and I feel they’ll be a huge threat to the
top half of the table.

What would be an
ideal season?
With the transfer’s we’ve made, we’ve got to be looking at the top 10.

Do you have the right
man in charge?
I’m not struck over by Hughes, but I believe he and his team are right to take us to the next level.

How would you rate
QPR’s transfer dealings?
Compared to previous transfer windows and who we’ve been linked with but never added, I’m loving who we’ve brought through the door.

If you could’ve
signed anyone this window, who would it have been?
Michael Dawson was a massive miss, he was the one.

How important is it
that under Hughes QPR improve their away form?
To get us to the next level and into the top ten we have to improve our away form dramatically.
