Hughes: QPR have spent £1.5m and are much stronger
QPR manager Mark Hughes is full of confidence ahead of the new season and says – given that the deal to sign Samba Diakite was agreed in January – he has spent a net total of £1.5m to transform Rangers’ squad this summer.

I think boasting he has only spent 1.5 mil considering how many players hes brought in only confirms that the quality of those players is not that good,maybe quality rather than quantity is the way to win premiership games.

Mark says he’s only spent £1.5m but the wages must be massive, barton’s on loads as is Zamora & Johnson let alone what bosinwa has cost to convince him to sign. If we go down we are absolutely screwed. Most of the signings are old journeymen looking for a final pay day, joke performance, joke signings. Seems like a twister to me.

dear Mark if you think we are stronger then how many more goals would have let in today, you need more than out of contract has beens and cheap chimps to avoid the same as lasy season !!!!!!!!!

Surprised it was that low. Ok, the wages thing keeps coming up. To b honest, yes they are high wages considering our club size and current status as a prem club and new reg coming in but the wages are only an issue if we are relegated. The tv money is dramatically increased and we do have very wealthy owners, not fernandes but the mittals. Dont forget that they tried to b sole owner last summer only for the trolls would not sell to them due to poor relations, hell the greedy bastards wanted 100m and sold to fernandes for 35m. Dont b surprised if fernandes sells his stake to the mittals down the road. All in all, there are very successful business men with integrity and respect for supporters who i expect know what they are doing financially. To reiterate, wages are not an issue as long as we dont get relegated. C’mon u Rs! Cant wait till 3pm.

Hope that all those who claim QPR have spent massive amounts on new signings have taken note !! There’s probably a profit been made given those who have been transferred ?
