Amongst the gloom of our poor ending last season and inactivity in the transfer market, these quotes by Holloway actually give me some optimism, because I always liked Borysiuk and thought we could get improvement from him. His return may indeed by like a new signing:
QUOTE
Queens Park Rangers manager Ian Holloway has spoken out about the future of midfielder Ariel Borysiuk, reports the club’s official website.
The 25-year-old moved to Loftus Road only last summer, and although he made eight Championship starts for the club before the New Year, he was then shipped out on loan to Polish side Lechia Gdansk in January.
And there the Poland international, capped 12 times by his country, started all but three of their top-flight games to help the club to a fourth place finish in the Ekstraklasa, missing out on a spot in the first qualifying round of the Europa League by just a point.
And although his future prospects at Loftus Road looked bleak following his loan spell, manager Holloway has spoken highly of the 25-year-old, labelling him like a ‘new signing’.
He told the club’s official website: ‘I’m delighted to have Ariel Borysiuk back.
‘I like his calmness and the way he passes the ball and the way he moves. It was the fact he spoke hardly any English. Pawel came through that though and he’s helping Ariel now.
‘He deserves the right for me to keep him and add him to my squad. For me that is like a new signing.’
These comments are sure to intrigue QPR fans, who have so far seen their club add very few players to their squad ahead of the new Championship season, which for them begins at home to Reading on August 5.
And given their close shave with relegation last term, finishing just two points clear of the bottom three, manager Holloway will need players like Borysiuk returning from loan spells to seriously improve the squad in their bid to retain their second tier status next season.
And Holloway’s comments suggest that the Poland international is set to stay at Loftus Road for the foreseeable future.
