QPR target Blackburn's Roberts

Goal-shy QPR target Blackburn's Roberts as Warnock tells the board to get more strikers

Queens Park Rangers are plotting a January move for Blackburn striker Jason Roberts.

Loftus Road boss Neil Warnock has put a new forward at the top of his New Years shopping list.

And Roberts is a shock name on his list of candidates to add more firepower to his squad as Rangers look to stay in the Barclays Premier League.


Wanted by Warnock: Blackburn Rovers' Jason Roberts could join QPR

Roberts, 33, is out-of-contract at Ewood Park at the end of the season and is yet to agree an extension.

And QPR are keeping a close eye on his contract situation as they plot a cut-price move at the turn of the year.

Fulham striker Andy Johnson is also on high on Warnock’s shopping list.

No thanks not for me. Never rated him.

 

Ominous words indeed ''top of his list'' *shudders*

 

After TF's interview yesterday, every single player we will be linked with between now and the end of January will be 'top of the list'. It's agent-speek for 'better than he looks'.

Get used to it, guys.

I wouldn't mind Johnson thouogh - he's very useful, and I'd love him to get a plus goal tally for us this year, seeing as he's starting on minus three....

 

Would have loved him a year ago but I'd like to think we're setting our sights a big higher now.

 

Not for me thanks, Defoe yes please.

 

i'd rather have dave leading the line

 

I don't want him either , bad he is not that bad .

 

No he's well past his sell by date,i also see Spurs have suppossedly won the race to sign Amauri from Juventus,so hopefully we can nick Defoe off them!

 

He looked pretty good against us for Blackburn. But he's no better than what we already have. I'd like to see Defoe and Zamora lead our line (but its not going to happen).
I'd like to see a central defender at the top of the wanted list (Bassong?) as well as cover at full back and a defensive midfielder.

 

Agreed. No better than what we already have. I'd sooner have Zamora, Johnson or Defoe.

 

Drogba for me

 

f*** him didn't want to come last year one gready barstard, we've better players at present look higher not lower.

 

For the love of god No!!
Looks likes HH & JB are starting to hit top form, why buy a lesser striker??

Defoe Yes
Roberts NO

 

totally underwhelmed if we go for him.

 

My thoughts exactly, lucky it's just paper/agent talk.

 

aged 33 looking for a pension

 

Was on MOTD2 Sunday night and came across as very up himself. Past it anyway.

 

Same here.

 

Last 24 hours I've seen us linked with Defoe, Pav, the Juve guy, Anelka, Zamora, Johnson and now Roberts (no thanks by the way). Believe nothing until it happens, unless we plan to play 2-2-6
