After a Week of Sturm und Drang: Bolton's Helguson Joins QPR!
-
- So Heidar Helguson is joining QPR on loan! Of course, many readers of messageboards would know about this revived deal. But then again, pretty much only messageboard readers would even be aware of all the Sturm und Drang of the past week; and that Heguson wasn't already at QPR. According to the two clubs' official sites, the deal was done and dusted - and announced - almost a week ago.
The Mirror - Striker Heidar Helguson completes QPR loan move - Bolton striker Heidar Helguson finally signed for QPR on loan yesterday after a switch to Charlton stalled.
- The forward agreed a deal until January 1 when both parties will decide on a permanent move. Helguson's move to Rangers had twice fallen through in disputes over fitness, wages and the length of the loan contract. The Mirror
Marc Iles/This is Lancashire - Helguson loan move nearing a conclusion- The mysterious case of Heidar Helguson’s loan move away from the Reebok would appear to finally be nearing a conclusion.
The Iceland international found himself in limbo over the weekend after rejecting a transfer to Loftus Road at the 11th hour on Friday afternoon.
Both clubs had earlier announced that the deal had been completed – but when he failed to appear for the Hoops’ defeat to Watford on Saturday, Charlton Athletic launched a rival bid of their own. The Addicks’ offer was not to Wanderers’ liking and QPR came back with a second bid on Monday morning which is now being mulled over by the 31-year-old striker, pictured.
The mega-rich Championship club then submitted a revised offer – now being considered by the player – which would see Helguson move to London until mid-January.
Having found his first-team opportunities restricted since his £1.5million move from Fulham last summer, the striker is looking for a permanent move away from the Reebok.
His only Premier League appearance this season came as a substitute against his old club and his single start was in the Carling Cup defeat to Northampton Town.
Helguson was linked with loan moves to Norwich, Cardiff and Bristol City before the last transfer window closed. This is Lancashire
Helguson Loan Twist...Still Silence From QPR's Official Site

This is Lancashire/Marc Iles - Helguson loan twist
- Heidar Helguson is back at the Reebok after his loan switch to QPR took a bizarre twist.
The Iceland international was due to make his debut in the Hoops’ game at Watford after the deal was officially announced by both clubs late last week.
But it later emerged that the move had not been completed, with Gary Megson claiming after Saturday’s game at Middlesbrough that the 31-year-old striker was still undecided as to whether he wanted to remain and fight for a place in the first team.

Bolton's Helguson Off to...Charlton!
-
Mirror/Alan Nixon -Bolton striker Heidar Helguson snubs QPR to sign for Charlton
- Bolton striker Heidar Helguson is signing for Charlton today - in time to make a controversial debut against QPR.
- The Icelandic star walked out on Rangers at the weekend when they tried to change the terms of his loan move from Wanderers - and now he could come back to haunt them.
- Helguson has agreed to join managerless Charlton until the start of January - with a view to a permanent deal - and he will be thrown in for a debut at Rangers tomorrow.
- Helguson's on-off transfer to the Hoops collapsed when the London outfit demanded that he signed for them until January 31, a date that would have stopped him signing for any other club if it did not work out.
- The Bolton star was due to play for the Loftus Road club at Watford on Saturday but packed his bags hours before kick-off. He is now set to meet them under very different circumstance. Mirror

Helguson's Move to QPR Off (Back at Bolton)
-
The "crazee" rumour, posted earlier, is apparently fact. The Helguson-to-QPR loan is off. (As reported by numerous posters on various QPR messageboards.) The only thing missing: It's not been announced yet by QPR or Bolton; and it's not yet been reported in the press. [Interestingly the original Bolton announcement seems no longer to be on the site!]
Bolton Fans Know Nothing More...
BURNDEN ACES - CONFUSION OVER HELGUSON LOAN
There are rumours coming out of West London that Heidar Helguson's loan deal with Queens Park Rangers has been cancelled and the player has returned to Bolton.
The Iceland international moved to QPR on Thursday and was expected to be in the squad to face Watford on Saturday afternoon.
Rumours before the game, which QPR lost 3-0, were that the 31-year-old had picked up an injury in training and had returned to the Reebok Stadium.
Neither club have had anything to say on the matter, but should this rumour turn out to be true, we will bring you more news as soon as we get it. Burnden Aces

Helguson Returned to Bolton? (Messageboard Rumour) ....Half Time: QPR Being Crushed 3-0 by Watford
-
And that's it...!
Heidar Helguson is not in the team or on the bench today. The norm would be to assume he's injured or the manager(s) wanted to bring in slowly - even though with injuries, that would be strange. No reason given for his absence on the QPR Official Site Team Announcement. Two or three posters on the boards are saying he's returned to Bolton. But nothing on Bolton's Official Site (or QPR's official site) or from Bolton posters. (And he's listed as onloan to QPR on the Bolton and QPR site) So it may just be board rumour. A classic "Stay Tuned!"

Mirror - Bolton striker Heidar Helguson to join QPR on loan

Helguson Apparently Coming

London Informer/Paul Warburton
"...About a pace behind the new man through the QPR entrance will follow Heidar Helguson. The loan deal for the Bolton forward was scuppered on Friday after the Icelander failed a medical.
But a frantic re-negotiation amid the search for the new manager has landed the ex-Fulham player until January with Bolton now paying half his £16,000-a-week wages.
If Helguson breaks down with injury, he returns straight away to The Reebok." London Informer
