This from the QPR fan Michael Hann who writes for the Guardian...

'When Pompey and Leeds spent themselves into administration, they at least did it by spending on Defoe, Ferdinand and the like," writes my colleague Michael Hann. "QPR, by contrast, appear to be looking to shell out the gross national product of several small Central American countries on the wages of Ciss? and (it seems likely) Zamora, who have a combined Premier League record of 66 goals in 289 games. Am I alone among QPR fans in suspecting that this might not be quite the wisest investment top-flight football has ever seen? I suppose the nicest way of looking at it is that with those two, plus Jay Bothroyd and Heidar Helguson, we'll have four international strikers at Loftus Road. If only I could say four top-class international strikers. It's all looking a bit like an Aldi Spurs, isn't it?" I'd have to say that none of the January signings at Loftus Road make you go: "Oooh, they'll stay up now" or "Well, that's them safe". They make you go: "Erm ? O ? K ?" '
