But not here for the playoffs!
QPR Official Site EXCLUSIVE: MILLER TIMEPosted on: Sat 22 Jan 2011
Queens Park Rangers have clinched the loan signing of West Bromwich Albion striker Ishmael Miller.
The 23 year-old front-man has penned a 93 day deal that runs until April 24th 2011.
Gaffer Neil Warnock is confident the former Manchester City hit-man will have a positive impact in W12 over the next few months.
"Ishmael is a player I have been looking at for a long time. I have always liked him, and when it was put to me about bringing him in, I asked the Board to support me," he said.
"It is not guaranteed yet until the end of the season, but we are optimistic that before the end of January that might be the case.
"I thought he did very well in his first training session today - he looked good and fitted in well. We have got a good group here anyway, so it is always easy for people to fit in.
"Having won promotion with West Brom last season, he knows what it is all about.
"He gives us something that we haven't got, because we have lost Jamie Mackie for the season and Patrick Agyemang for a spell.
"Ishmael has got an abundance of pace, and we are glad to bring him in."
Miller - whose pace and power are key attributes to his game - is eager to get going in the famous Blue and White Hoops and told http://www.qpr.co.uk: "When a team like QPR - who are top of the league - come calling, you can't ask for much more.
"I've watched QPR play a few times this season, and the gaffer has assembled a great squad.
"Having met the lads today, you can see there's a great camaraderie within the squad.
"I'm here to get games and kick-start my career again."
Miller has been handed the number 29 shirt.

Miller becomes a loan Ranger
Posted on: Sat 22 Jan 2011ISHMAEL Miller has joined QPR on a three-month loan in search of some much-needed match action.
The Baggies have an option to recall the former Manchester City marksman after the initial 28 days of his loan.
Miller will be hoping for a drastic upturn in fortunes at Loftus Road.
After making his return from a serious knee injury 12 months ago, he has struggled to get any momentum going due to a series of niggling injuries.
The fact Albion have mainly operated with a lone striker this term and the form of summer signing Peter Odemwingie have also been key factors in Miller being restricted to only four Barclays Premier League substitute appearances.
In his absence, Roberto Di Matteo can call on the services of Marc-Antoine Fortune, Roman Bednar and Simon Cox.

ISHMAEL MILLER: IN PROFILEPosted on: Sat 22 Jan 2011
Ishmael Miller is a product of Manchester City's successful youth policy.
After joining City on schoolboy forms in 2000, his fine form for the Club's Academy and Reserve sides elevated him to the fringes of the First Team squad.
He went on to make his senior debut in March 2006 - just two weeks shy of his 19th birthday.
His involvement in the City squad continued thereafter and prior to his move to West Bromwich Albion on loan in August 2007, Miller made 20 senior appearances for the Manchester outfit.
Miller initially joined the Baggies on loan, before - following a successful spell - the deal was made permanent in August 2007, for a fee believed to be £900,000.
He went on to form a lethal partnership with Kevin Phillips, netting nine times in just 15 outings.
In an injury-interrupted campaign, he notched 16 goals in total, as the Baggies clinched promotion.
The former England Under-21 striker gradually grew into Premier League life during the 2008/09 season and bagged his first-ever top-flight goal against Newcastle United.
His season was cruelly cut short, however, when an accidental collision with David James curtailed his season.
He penned a new five-year deal in October 2009, before returning towards the end of last season to play a crucial role in Albion's promotion push.
To date, he has featured in seven fixtures in all competitions this campaign.
