It's time to start thinking of buying the right kind of QPR player for the Championship: We need aging, injury-prone CHAMPIONSHIP players!

QPR fire sale: bargains for Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs? Julio Cesar – Potential destinations: Man United/Arsenal/AC Milan
With QPR relegated, a number of big names will be up for grabs and the Brazilian 'keeper has been one of the few highlights in a pretty gloomy season. His surprise arrival from Inter brought great promise and he has largely delivered with some stunning displays. Man United were loosely linked with a potential swoop, but with David De Gea appearing more assured in goal it looks like it could be between Arsenal and AC Milan to duke it out for his signature.
Despite lavishing millions to entice big-name players to Loftus Road, QPR have been relegated from the Premier League, which could throw the club into financial turmoil. While the arrival of Harry Redknapp last November and the chairman sanctioning spending in excess of £25m during the January transfer window prompted hope of survival, the club are preparing for life in the Championship and a number of their biggest stars will be packing their bags.
Teams throughout the Premier League and Europe will be licking their lips at the prospect of a bargain, so talkSPORT are running the rule over the club's most sellable assets and look at where they could potentially go.
We kick off with goalkeeper Julio Cesar, who is set to feel the wrath of the club hierarchy after being snapped wearing a Chelsea kit for compatriot David Luiz's recent birthday. Click the arrow on the right to see else is up for grabs...

LIVERPOOL, ARSENAL, TOTTENHAM SCRAMBLE FOR QPR STRIKER REMY
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 11:08
QPR's relegation will spark a scramble for striker Loic Remy.
The Mirror says Liverpool have now joined the hunt for £8million-rated Remy, who is also attracting strong interest from Arsenal, Everton, Spurs and Inter Milan.
The 26-year-old Frenchman has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for the amount that Rangers paid for him back in January in the event of relegation.
Liverpool boss Rodgers is understood to be keen to bring in reinforcements for his Anfield frontline regardless of what happens with Luis Suarez this summer.
Arsenal are understood to have had Remy watched for a second time at the Madejski yesterday while Spurs have him on their shortlist as a replacement for Emmanuel Adebayor.

Swansea City open talks with Esteban Granero
29 April 2013 - 08:41 GMT, by Kemal
Swansea City will be the first team to capitalize on QPR's imminent relegation, as they look set to open transfer talks with midfielder Esteban Granero.
Granero has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League in his first season in England, as the R's look set to drop down to the Championship in the summer.
There is no question of a doubt that Granero is a very useful player, as often shown in his performances for Real Madrid. Michael Laudrup, Swansea's manager, is a big fan of Granero and will make a bid in the region of 5 million GBP to persuade QPR to sell him.

Tottenham to sign QPR's Loic Remy?
29 April 2013 - 08:47 GMT, by jicka
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has been impressed with the performances of French striker Loic Remy at QPR, and could make a bid for the striker at the end of the year.
Villas-Boas is reportedly disappointed with Emmanuel Adebayor's recent games for Spurs and is frustrated with the Togo international's work ethic. The Portuguese coach is therefore ready to sign Loic Remy once QPR are relegated to the Championship.
Tottenham have long been fans of the forward, under Harry Redknapp, the Lilywhites came very close to completing a move for the striker but wage demands scuppered a deal.

Esteban Granero open to Queens Park Rangers stay
By Liam Apicella, Staff Reporter Filed: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 14:04 UK Last Updated: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 14:07 UK
Spaniard Esteban Granero has hinted that he would be prepared to play for Queens Park Rangers in the Championship next season.
Following the team's relegation yesterday afternoon, reports had suggested that the club would need to move out a number of players to ease any financial pressure.
However, midfielder Granero has revealed that he will leave it up to the management and board to decide his future.
"I signed my contract here for four years. I was not thinking about going to the Championship when I joined but that is the reality now. I like life in London. We now prepare for life next season. The club will have to decide, not me," he is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard.
Granero signed on at Loftus Road last summer from Champions League semi-finalists Real Madrid.

Harry Redknapp For Newcastle?
By Footy Mad - Editor Updated Monday, 29th April 2013
Harry Redknapp was Mike Ashley's first choice as manager when he took over at St James' Park ... but "Harry The Bung" knocked back the offer.
Redknapp said at the time: "I thought about Newcastle's offer, but I said 'no' because there is something sadly wrong at that club."
But ... we believe he would jump at the chance ... should the offer be made again. The London media are not convinced Harry will remain at Loftus Road, even though he insists he will use the last games of QPR's season to judge whether his squad can help the club back in to the Premier League next season.
If there is "something sadly wrong" at Newcastle, there is a hell of a lot more wrong at QPR, and one former Toon player told us this morning: "QPR is not for him, he is far from happy there."
Rangers' two-year stay in the top flight came to an end and Redknapp has already started planning for next season.
The 66-year-old, who this time last year was favourite to land the England job, will meet with the Rangers board next week to discuss the future of the club.
Some big-name players such as Loic Remy and Julio Cesar are likely to leave while Redknapp will do his best to clear out the likes of Jose Bosingwa, who has failed to live up to expectations despite his £65,000 a week pay packet. Redknapp: "I'm looking at people with next year in mind now.
"We've got to keep going. It's a difficult situation but we've got to keep playing. We're not downing tools. It's important that we don't.
"It's difficult, but we want to pick up as many points as we can. The last few games have knocked us out a bit and it's been disappointing.
"Now it's gone. But we've got to keep going."
Unfortunately for QPR fans, 'Harry Houdini', as he was labelled in some quarters, has failed to drag the team out of the bottom three despite a mini-revival at the turn of the year which included a shock win at west London rivals Chelsea.
Although Redknapp is willing to accept part of the blame, he pointed to the club's policy of signing injury-prone duo Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora as one of the reasons why his job has been made so difficult.
"We've ended up with a badly balanced squad," said Redknapp, who has been without Johnson and Zamora due to their respective knee and hip problems.
"I felt Bobby Zamora and Andy Johnson being injured took away the strikers and you can't win football matches if you don't score goals.
"We got Loic Remy in and then we got Bobby back and he got sent off. It's been a bit of a disaster in that respect."
Despite ploughing millions in to the club, owner Tony Fernandes continues to invest, but some claim he would not be too upset if Redknapp left.

EXCLUSIVE: Park wanted in the States as midfielder heads for Loftus Road exit door
By SAMI MOKBEL
PUBLISHED: 22:34 GMT, 29 April 2013 | UPDATED: 22:35 GMT, 29 April 2013
Ji-Sung Park is wanted by MLS chiefs to lead their attempts to break into the lucrative Asian market.
The former Manchester United midfielder is expected to leave Queens Park Rangers this summer.
Ready for departure: Park is expected to leave Loftus Road this summer
Rangers chiefs will consider selling Park, who earns £70,000-per-week, as they look to lower their wage bill.
And the 32-year-old is set to be given an instant escape route out of Loftus Road, with a number of MLS clubs keen on the midfielder.
Interest: Toronto FC manager Nelsen is keen to sign Park
Among those are Toronto FC, who are managed by former Rangers defender Ryan Nelsen.
As well as Park's ability and experience, his superstar status in south-east Asia also appeals to the MLS as they look to expand the brand into the cash-rich Far East.

CISSE TALKS UP A MOVE AWAY FROM RELEGATED QPR
Submitted by Dave Williams on Tue, 04/30/2013 - 13:49
Djibril Cisse is keen for a move back to Marseille following the relegation of QPR into the Championship.
Cisse, whose loan spell at Qatari club Al Gharafa expires at the end of the season, is already talking up a move away from Loftus Road.
The 32-year-old told France Football: "Given how it has gone for them from a sporting viewpoint, (a return to QPR) does seem complicated."
Cisse would relish a switch to Marseille, a club he joined on loan from Liverpool in 2006 before making the move permanent.
"It would be a dream to go back," said Cisse, "or play for any club which can make me shine."
Cisse is hoping a move back to Europe can enhance his chances of representing France at the World Cup finals next summer.
"I have Les Bleus in my heart," he said.
"If I'm in a good team and if I do a good job I think it's possible.
"I have a crazy mind and when I have a goal in mind I do everything to achieve it."
