I don't think 4 pretty expensive strikers are sustainable. Its just not done, certainly not in this division. Hooper will be on his way out.
Becchio has to leave before the transfer window closes leaving 3 strikers Hooper Lafferty and Grabban and both Lafferty and Grabban can play as wingers too. I doubt they are on megabucks either as we bought them as a Championship club.
I just ordered a new home shirt online and couldn't bring myself to get a name and number this time, i have got a collection of #10 shirts with Ashton Earnshaw Bentley and Fer on them . 10 seems to be a jinx number as they get sold after a season . I was going to get either Lafferty or Olsson .
If you think that's bad, it's a good job I only buy shirts sporadically - Every shirt I've bought has come in a season we've been relegated!
Tweet from Tony Fernandes QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has hinted that the R’s are on the verge of more new signings. QPR have already added Steven Caulker, Rio Ferdinand, Mauricio Isla and Jordan Mutch this summer, and Fernandes says more new faces are on the way. Fernandes wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning: “Will be a good day for QPR fans. Some new names coming. Thanks to Fifa and WhatsApp. Mission almost completed.” QPR, who kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 defeat at home to Hull on Saturday, have been linked with a host of names in recent weeks. Napoli forward Eduardo Vargas is reportedly close to joining the west Londoners, while Norwich City midfielder Leroy Fer is also a target.

This is the way I see it as well. IMO, Adams is looking for a mobile front line and Jerome, like the others, is well suited for that. Becchio is not. I can't see any reason why four strikers plus Loza is not manageable, especially with Hooper's tendency to pick up injuries.
Ian Abrahams (Moose) ‏@BroadcastMoose 2m Leroy Fer is undergoing a medical at QPR ahead of £7m move from Norwich https://www.clubcall.com/norwich-city/fer-close-to-qpr-switch-1736823.html?
I think the fee is an insult and I'd rather Fer went anywhere other than Koo Pee Arr, but if I'm honest, I didn't think he'd stay at CR!!! Hope he does well though and manages to avoid injures.
Hopefully it's £7m initially with add-ons. He's clearly got massive potential. Would be gutted if he was later sold for £15m+ and we don't take a cut.
Just Hooper and Redmond to go now. Have the other relegated teams been having such a garage sale on their players? 7 million is a bit of a joke.
The fee actually works out 10mil + to us. Tbh, I think that's pretty good business as long as we re invest in a couple of decent players.
