TAKEN FROM TALKSPORT:
QPR are closing in on the signing of Italy winger Pasquale Foggia.
Lazio boss Edy Reja is planning a summer clear-out and the 28-year-old, who started just two Serie A games last season, will be one of the first out of the door.
And sources in Italy have revealed that the tricky wideman is wanted by Premier League new boys Rangers, who have already made contact with Lazio about signing Foggia.
The Italian side are keen to sell and it has been claimed that he could be in London for a medical as early as Monday, when he could be announced as a QPR player if it is successful.

He is meant to be a very skilful player but only having 2 starts last season can't be a good sign.

Well here is Foggia (Yes I am well aware that Youtube can make any player look good) [video src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eL893xwU40&feature=player_embedded#at=239 "][/video] He looks quite good actually, fast with a great touch and looks to have a great cross.

No hes not Tarbs replacement , hes just Flavs or Gianni 's idea , lets face it every window we have to buy an italian its part of Flavs agreement. Not sure if this guy is Neils choice and after Moen not sure if Parr is Neils choice either but he could be i suppose.

Not sure if this guy is Neils choice and after Moen not sure if Parr is Neils choice either but he could be i suppose. He might have been one of the players Curle went out to Italy to have a look at. As I said earlier on, every Italian player we are linked with will straight away written off but for all we know Neil might actually want this Foggia guy.

Just to add on to that, if it turns out that Warnock does not want this guy then obviously I do not want Foggia at our club.

Sounds like a Flavio idea, still if he's any good and it is ok with Neil -whom I trust.... Then again how soon will he get the name foggy?

SPORTING LIFE
AGENT: FOGGIA CONSIDERING QPR SWITCH.Lazio midfielder Pasquale Foggia is considering a move to QPR, according to his agent. The 28-year-old, who is under contract with the Biancoceleste outfit until June 2013, has been linked with a move away from Rome this summer. "We are trying to find a solution," said Foggia's agent Marco Sommella to Tuttomwercatoweb.com. "We will see what the market offers. "We are talking about an important player that deserves to play in an important league. "There is the option of Cesena, who wanted him a year ago, but there is also the opportunity for him to join QPR. "QPR are looking for a player to replace Adel Taarabt if he was to be sold to Paris St Germain."Hence, I don't exclude the possibility that Foggia plays abroad. "We have to wait and see what the market has to offer also because in Italy everything seems to be at a standstill." www.sportinglife.com/football/premiership/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/11/07/14/SOCCER_Lazio.html&TEAMHD=premiership&BID=312

Be greedy, have Adel AND Foggia - makes competition for places stronger. Faurlin's name would be the first on my team sheet right now.

FAURLIN FOGGIA and TARRABT seem like they could all compliment each other well.

Hands up if you think this is a Warnock signing (father than at best, a reluctanct acceptance by Warnock of someone he's being "assigned"

I actually do, I think this is one of the players Curle went out to Italy to have a look at.
