QPR Official Site - GAFFER EYES TRANSFER SWOOPS
Mon 21 Jun 2010
Neil Warnock has revealed he is continuing to make enquiries in the transfer market, as the countdown to the 2010/11 npower Championship gathers pace.
The R's boss has already swooped for Jamie Mackie, Leon Clarke and Paddy Kenny over recent weeks and with one or two more irons in the fire, Warnock is confident of adding to his squad again soon.
"I've made enquiries about a lot of players," he told www.qpr.co.uk.
"I'd like to get at least another couple in, maybe even three or four before the start of the season.
"We need to balance the books as well though.
"There'll be players who leave and players who sign - that's the nature of the business we're in.
"I think we need a squad of 25, but if we can get a squad of 22 without loaning players, we'll be in good shape."
Warnock added: "I don't think QPR fans will have too many complaints once I've got my squad together.
"They showed at the end of last season that they trust me.
"I think the important thing is getting the spirit right.
"We need to get the whole Club pulling together - the players, the staff and the fans.
"It's important that we do well.
"I've not got long left. I want to be on my tractor in three years or so, so it's very important that we push on next season.

QPR Official Site - EXCLUSIVE: DERRY AGREES DEAL
Posted on: Tue 22 Jun 2010
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to announce an agreement has been reached to sign Shaun Derry on a two-year deal from July 1st.
The 32 year-old, who successfully captained Crystal Palace to Championship survival last term, will join on a free transfer.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Warnock said:"I felt we needed another type of midfielder to what we already have.
"If we are going to be successful this season we need to cover every avenue.
"I know Shaun well. He is a very good professional who will benefit the team."
Derry, who has vast Premier League experience, is relishing the challenge ahead, commenting: "I'm delighted to reach agreement with the Club.
"There's a very talented group of players already here.
"When QPR came to Palace at the end of last season, in my own opinion, they were the best side we played at Selhurst Park. That was the kind of performance Neil will want from us next season.
"The aim has to be to compete at the top - the top two ideally. We've definitely got the ability and the quality to get into the Premier League."
Derry added: "Neil was a big sway. When he comes calling, you have to consider what he brings to the table and I really like working with him.
"He knows what he wants and he's got a way of getting the best out of people. Whenever I've played under him, I've played my best football and long may that continue."
Derry will join his new team-mates when they report for pre-season training on July 1st.
