BBC Lopez 'unlikely' to return to QPR Lopez was brought to QPR by former coach Paulo Sousa Jordi Lopez's agent Alex Bonnot has admitted the midfielder is "very unlikely" to be at QPR this season. Spaniard Lopez, 28, made 10 appearances for the west London club last season and opened talks after his three-month contract at Loftus Road expired. But he was unhappy with the wages being offered and negotiations have ended. Bonnot, a former QPR player, said: "Jordi really liked it at Rangers and could have stayed if the offer was right, but it wasn't." 606: DEBATE Your views on Lopez's future Lopez had a spell with Real Madrid before winning the Uefa Cup with Sevilla in 2006. He was signed by former QPR coach Paulo Sousa after being released by Mallorca earlier this year. Sousa, who left Rangers in April, has been offered the Swansea manager's job. news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/8109725.stm

And expanded
Dave McIntyre/BBC606 - Lopez set to move on</strong- It seems there is next to no chance of Jordi Lopez being at QPR this season. - For some weeks the word coming out of Rangers has been that Lopez wanted a three-year contract and that his wage demands were excessive, and he would not be returning. - This often happens with out-of-contract players and sometimes a compromise is reached even after one or both sides are adamant that a deal is impossible. - But Lopez’ agent, former QPR player Alex Bonnot, seemed pretty sure when I spoke to him on Friday that there was now no going back. - According to him, Rangers simply never came up with a reasonable offer. - Bonnot was previously keen to stress that talks were ongoing and all options were being considered. - But those talks are now dead. - Lopez is likely to speak to other Championship clubs in the near future, while Rangers are looking elsewhere having ended any interest they had in the player. - I wonder if Lopez will end up at Swansea, where Paulo Sousa has been offered the manager’s job. - Sousa was pleased to sign Lopez for QPR and the two get on very well. - Coincidentally, the first player Rangers tried to sign this summer was Swansea midfielder Darren Pratley. - Perhaps they’ll be tempted to try again now Swansea have a new manager, although there’s no reason to think they’d have more luck

Not good news as I liked Lopez though with Rowlands coming back if his wage demands were too excessive then fine. Rowlands will have to step up a gear though and I thought a player like Lopez was tailor made for Magilton's style of football. I'm not going to get all bothered about another midfielder though, we still need that striker and that's what we should be concentrating on hopefully. Good luck Jordi and thanks.

He is an excellent player but it seems that we're no longer interested in those

I'd say he is almost nailed on to replace Gomez.
How annoying is all this crap!
