QPR Boss Harry Redknapp Hopes To Sign Free Agent Chris Baird

Hoops boss looking at Northern Ireland international.



QPR manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that he is hoping to be able to bring midfielder Chris Baird to the club following his exit from west London neighbours Fulham this summer, Sky Sports reports.

Now a free agent, the 31-year-old is currently out of work and would be able to link up with Rangers at any time, and a move would likely suit both parties as he has been training with the club following his exit from Craven Cottage.




He had been training with QPR in a bid to keep his fitness up and place himself in the shop window after a number of Premier League teams were reported to be interested in taking him on board, but so far no moves have materialised and signing on under Redknapp could now be his most viable option.

Redknapp has already stated that he wants to bring in an experienced defender to help steady the ship as they look to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking and the former Spurs manager has admitted that he is a fan of the 61-cap Northern Irish international.

“I like Chris Baird,” he said.

“He knows what he’s doing and he’s a good player. I’d like to do something with him.”

 

QPR his most viable option
or more likely his only option

 

might be best not to tell the world Harry!!

 

why not
no one else wants him

 

This is last weeks news. Harry mentioned it last week ... probably in the hope that West Ham or Stoke would come in for him and stop him pinching all the good biscuits in the tea room after training.

 

so what's the delay then? just sign him if he thinks he's good enough.

 

Baird keeping his options open me thinks.

 

says who?

 

As Eamon says, old news. Lazy journalism. He will probably drag his feet until 30 minutes before the window closes. Can't blame the bloke for wanting a PL club.

 

he has been a free agent all summer
if someone really wanted him they would have signed him

 

Thinking about this. As he is unattached I don't think the transfer window applies. I'm sure someone will put me right.

 

Harry's a big fan of jammy dodgers, apparently.

 

I do think you're right.

 

If he is a 'free agent' .................... why have we heard the same story for the past two weeks ....................... stop talking, sign him or move on!
For once, as a fan, I'd like to hear that 'we have just sign 'Joe Blogs' and not even know such a deal was imminent.

 

who does joe blogs play for
bet hes a midfielder

 

Yep, central midfielder.

 

He'd do a decent job for us. I just hope we don't sign players on stupid contracts like the last time we were in the Championship, Hulse for example.

 

He only cares about the money, hed have signed by now if it was about anything else.

Time to move onto someone else because hes not the right type.

 

versatile player, a very good centre back as well, and at least ffc wont be in for him

 

I wouldn't put it past them... ;-)
