Neil Warnock: Hoping to get players in that can point his side in the right direction Neil Warnock wants to sign "leaders" for Queens Park Rangers in the January transfer window. The West London club currently sit just above the relegation zone having managed just one league win at Loftus Road so far this season. "We are actively looking at bringing players in and we will bring players in, but it is not easy in January." Neil Warnock Quotes of the week With his side struggling at the bottom end of the table, Warnock has spoken of the need to strengthen the squad at his disposal if QPR are to retain their top-flight status. "I don't think we have enough leaders," he said. "That is one department I am looking to bring players in. "You can get leaders on the pitch and you can see certain players (which make you envious). "We do have one or two here, but I probably have to look at using them a little more than I do. "In the past it has always been a priority to check a player's character. "But when you look at players at home and abroad it is impossible to do all your checks on every aspect of them. "You go with your gut feeling really." Despite stressing his desire to bring in some new faces, Warnock does not expect any arrivals before the trip to Newcastle on 15th January. Live on Sky Sports vs Swansea v QPR December 27, 2011 4:30pm Remote Record Quashed speculation He has also quashed speculation linking QPR with moves for Bristol City striker Nicky Maynard, who has refused the offer of a new contract at his current club, Barcelona's Alexander Hleb and Bobby Zamora of Fulham. When asked specifically about Zamora, Warnock said: "Are we not after Fulham striker Andy Johnson as well? I saw that one last week. "It is not for me to talk about other people's players. I have got enough on my own plate trying to get players in. "We are actively looking at bringing players in and we will bring players in, but it is not easy in January." The former Sheffield United boss admits he is looking to add depth to his forward line though, as well as recruiting some defensive reinforcements. "You probably don't get your number one choice and you go onto your number two choice, et cetera," he added. "I don't know what choice I will get but I hope to bring one or even two forwards in and a couple of defenders. "I don't know the specific numbers I am looking to sign because you don't know who becomes available. "You can have your targets but they might be unrealistic so you have to have players as back-up that can do just as good a job if you can. "We do need certain players for definite in certain areas."
