Quiet deadline day expected at QPR

QPR began deadline day not expecting any late signings or departures.

Rangers have enquired about a host of players during this month’s transfer window but their options are limited, mainly because of Financial Fair Play constraints.[phone]

With some players in the final months of their contract, and with Ian Holloway’s side currently seven points clear of the relegation zone, the club are preparing for a busy summer at Loftus Road more in keeping with past transfer windows.

But this window has largely been about reducing the size of the squad – and the wage bill – with Steven Caulker having departed along with Yeni Ngbakoto and a number of youngsters.

There were discussions at the weekend about Tim Cahill, who rejoined Millwall, but the QPR hierarchy were unwilling to sanction even the offer of a short-term deal at this stage of the 38-year-old’s career.

By Tuesday evening, there seemed no prospect of any business being done ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline other than a possible loan move for Olamide Shodipo, who has been made available to clubs.
