http://www.eyefootball.com/news/9635/Josepmir-Ballón-for-QPR?/ Josepmir Ballón for QPR? Queens Park Rangers may make a shock move for Peruvian young starlet Josepmir Ballón, who currently plays in Argentina with River Plate. eyefootball.com received word that Ballon, highly rated by many in South America, has been scouted by several Premiership clubs and has been recommended to QPR by an agent. Ballon, who currently has 8 caps to his name for Peru, is valued in the region of £3 million and should have no problem securing a work permit in England.
Sr Ballon's agent has certainly done a good job. IMscouting say the following: "Josepmir is a talented midfielder whose composed playing style belies his age. He can perform well as a deep-lying playmaker as his amazing ball control and accurate passing enable him to build attacks with tremendous effect. He reads the game extremely well, and thanks to his good anticipation he excels at breaking up opponents' moves. Although not the strongest, Josepmir is brave and determined and never shirks a physical battle. He has already won 11 caps for the national team." Sounds out of our league. There also seems some uncertainty over his height - Wiki reckon 5'7" while IMscouting say 5'10" - growing lad, eh ?
Flavio and Giannio! ============== ENGLAND/ QPR, Interest for Legrottaglie 22:20| Eddy Akoglu | read 164 http://www.footballpress.net/?action=read&idsel=86767 Italian central defender Nicola Legrottaglie, whose contract with Juventus is about to expire, has revealed to Sportitalia on Monday night that he is tracked by Queens Park Rangers. Preliminary talks between the English club and the 34-year-old are in progress.
Ah, that's more like it. Another ageing Italian - missed 8 weeks of the season with Juventus through injury, and was off-loaded on a free to Milan back in January (6 month contract). Experienced, certainly, but only a bit player in Italy for the last 12 months. With him, Bullard and Johnson in the squad, let's hope Flav is buying up shares in BUPA !

That's a pretty impressive list, numbers wise at least. There's probably no more than 10 of that list that would put a smile on my face should they actually sign, there are some real duffers in there!

Not had Nugent. http://www.teamtalk.com/swansea-city/6996477/Four-clubs-in-Nugent-fight Four clubs in Nugent fight Sunday 19th June 2011 15:02 Nugent: Striker considering offers from several clubs Nugent: Striker considering offers from several clubs Bet with SkyBet Click here for football betting Several Premier League and Championship sides are vying for the signature of former Portsmouth striker David Nugent, according to reports. Nugent is available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at Portsmouth and his availability has alerted a number of clubs. The former Preston man netted 14 goals last season and a number of sides are thought to have registered their interest. Queens Park Rangers and Swansea could make moves as they look to bolster their attacking options, while Leicester and Ipswich have been credited with an interest in the England international. The one-cap England international is set to return from holiday next week and will weigh up his options before making a decision on where he to continue his career.
From sky gossip (skybet) @SkyBet_Steve: We've seen a number of large bets on Joe Cole joining QPR and have cut his price from 5/2 to 6/4, however Spurs still remain the favourites to land the Liverpool man.
