Diarra move is off. Issue with Lokomotiv Moscow. #QPR

There has been some confusion over whether he is actually a free agent, hence the hold-up and enquiries for other players. #QPR

Blessing in disguise IMO.

Come on baby, do the Locomotiv
 
The sky fellow outside the training ground mentioned that 'a very good source' in the club claimed that Jermaine Defoe was there; but by his own admission, he also said that Demba BA was with him. So make of that what you will.

A little later, the same reporter said that Adel Taarabt sped out the ground without stopping for autographs. He had a frown on his face and wasn't smiling. Great reporting that!

Surely that should be known already! Very disappointing if this doesn't go through on a technicality.
 
These skysports lot are a right tease...

"Defoe may potentially be coming to play back in the PL with an old manager that he knows well.."

I don't mind too much! he sounded the wrong sort to me. At least this explains why we're going midfielder crazy with all the links circulating currently
 
Following their first victory of the season on Saturday, Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp claimed a deal to sign former Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra was done. It had been reported Diarra had left Lokomotiv Moscow following a fall-out with the club's coach, but we are now hearing the Russian club have stepped in and the deal is now in jeopardy.

Diarra deal off

BBC Sport's Mandeep Sanghera: "QPR's move for midfielder Lassana Diarra from Lokomotiv Moscow has fallen through.
"QPR boss Harry Redknapp had said the 29-year-old had signed but there's been a late hitch and the deal is now off.
"There seems to be an issue between Diarra and Lokomotiv and the Loftus Road outfit won't be pursuing that one any more."

Did he mention his forthcoming lunch engagement with Elvis?

Hope this gets sorted - he sounds like what we need.
 
Anyone close enough to the training ground to go and give the Sky man an "Ice Bucket Challenge"?
 
Why does it seem that other teams transfer dealing always run as smooth as peanut butter and yet almost every deal good ol' Qpr get involved in has hitches, delays, sudden switches, fake agents, strange contract clauses, visa hold-ups, last minute changes of heart....etc etc

Apart from Mccarthy earlier this week every deal always seems to either take an age or involve palpitation-inducing snags.

Just my opinion having followed so many deals over so many years lol
