QPR's intercontinental lineup


Looking at the players that have arrived at Loftus Road in the last couple of seasons, it’s easy to wonder how QPR can find themselves at the bottom end of the Premier League.

Ever since the investment from owner Tony Fernandes, Queens Park Rangers have made an vast array of peculiar and intriguing signings. They are a band of misfits with Mark Hughes at the helm.
The transfer window is finally closed but for every Robin Van Persie or Sergio Aguero, there is a Park Chu Young or an Andy Carroll. So which summer signings are perhaps ones which owners and managers should have thought twice about sanctioning?
Only at a club with the mental past history of Queens Park Rangers can you expect to see a manager react to an opening day defeat by replacing the whole back four. A Swansea whirlwind may have blown any pre-season optimism away from Loftus Road but to resort to a carpentry-like renovation of a defence and give it the IKEA treatment at the calling of just one game is not the answer, regardless of its margin of defeat.
