They say when it rains it pours and players are flooding into QPR in biblical fashion. Another 4 players are due to arrive within the next 24 hours with 3 already signed overnight as Compello looks to bolster his defensive options.
Gonalons 89 CDM/CB
Kjaer 89 CB
Radu 89 CB/LB
“Gonalons is a versatile and experienced defensive player. We were happy with our midfield but felt he could operate in a back 5 or 4 to complement our other defenders with his composure on the ball. Simon (Kjaer) is a top defender with great physicality to his game something we’ve lacked a little and Radu is quick, versatile with his ability to play as full back and experienced again fitting the profile we wanted.”
Erkin LB 88
Vidal RB 89
De Marcos RB 88
Bellarabi Wing/RB 89
“Other managers had made comments about our back 4 and when were we going to sort it out well I think now some in Division 2 will be worried for next season given the quality and depth we have managed to bring in in the last few days.
Erkin is a terrific set piece taker and gives us a completely different dynamic at LB, Vidal has played at the absolute top level with Barcelona and is a terrific athlete, De Marcos is a great option for both defence and out wide and Bellarabi is a great skillful winger who is very comfortable in defence too.
I’m so delighted with how the squad is shaping up now, we’ve got tremendous quality, experience and skill available that many QPR fans and pundits didn’t think was possible in such a short space of time given the players we lost recently but now this team I believe can really push on. We’ve already won our first game with a great goal from Schürrle, our first win in 7 games and now we are getting very close to a full strength squad. We know this season is now like our pre-season every game, every training session we must push and push in preparation for a promotion for the coming season. We have the quality now we need to show the passion and desire to win.”
When asked if the transfers at QPR we’re finally over Compello just winked and said:
“I think we’ll have more company soon enough.”
