R’s clinch signing of defender Grant Hall from Tottenham Hotspur ... Defender Grant Hall joins QPR from Tottenham Hotspur 23-year-old signs two-year deal at Loftus Road Hall available for Saturday's match at Charlton Athletic QPR have added another defender to their squad on the eve of the new season with the addition of Grant Hall from Tottenham Hotspur. Hall, who impressed for the R’s whilst on trial during pre-season, has signed a two-year deal at Loftus Road, after Rangers agreed an undisclosed fee with Spurs for his services. The 23 year-old was registered prior to the midday deadline and is therefore expected to go straight into the Hoops squad for tomorrow’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Charlton Athletic at The Valley. Head Coach, Chris Ramsey, told www.qpr.co.uk: “I’ve always liked Grant from when I worked with him at Spurs. “He’s an old fashioned defender – he can head the ball, he can tackle and he doesn’t mind putting his foot in when he needs to. But he can play as well from the back, and that’s what we’ll be looking to do when the opportunities present themselves this season. “He’s still a young boy and centre-half is a very responsible position – but he’s got experience in the Championship and that’s vitally important for us.” image: http://www.qpr.co.uk/cms_images/player/grant-hall-signs-61364-2599762.jpg please log in to view this image ARRIVAL: Hall is signing number nine this summer Hall, who spent time on loan with both Birmingham City and Blackpool in the second tier last season, will wear the number 4 shirt. He said: “I’m delighted to get the deal done before the start of the season tomorrow. “I’m looking forward to the challenge and hopefully I can step up and force my way into the team. “I think it’s good to have competition for places, but I’ve not come here to sit on the bench. I want to come in and stake my claim and show everyone what I’m capable of.” R’s Director of Football, Les Ferdinand, told www.qpr.co.uk: “Grant is a solid addition at the back for us. “He played in the Championship for two clubs in difficult situations last season and he’s come through it a better player for those experiences. “He can certainly handle himself at this level and we’re looking forward to working with him and helping develop his game.” Read more at http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/g...nham-hotspur-2599768.aspx#OfHZxmKo31yM14Cv.99

Not much of a justification there Damage...care to prove it with an abundance of statistics? I've never seen the guy play, so I'm not counter-arguing, just curious as to why you think he's shyte?
Well, I for one am looking at this addition as a positive. He's a central defender and I'd rather that than another ruddy midfielder. Hope they all can step up and make it happen for beloved club.
Only seen him play one game and he lost his man twice in the space of 5 minutes. He was sent back by a bad Birmingham team last year and then wasn’t a guaranteed starter for Blackpool managing 12 games in half a season…
I thought he was signing number 10, after Luongo, Gladwin, JET, Gobern, Poulter, Mackie, Blackwood, Chery, Perch and Konchesky (albeit a loan signing) Or should that be 11?
I'm still expecting another CB to come in however welcome Grant wishing you all the best on your QPR career
If Gobern gets game time I would be more than surprised, I would be bloody amazed. He has to be at the very end of the a long pecking order of midfielders.
