Nothing happening on the transfer front, so thought I might kick off a QPR quiz...
Which former QPR first team regular, who made around 150 appearances for us, has made only 22 first team appearances in the last three and a half years for the 4 teams he has played for during that time? He is under 30.

Arsenal.
Which club did we sign Phil Parkes from?

Yes - I was amazed at Adel's lack of games: January transfer window 2014, loaned to Milan: 14 appearances, 4 goals August 2014 - May 2015, back at QPR: 2 appearances (Burton in League Cup, sub v West Ham), 0 goals June 2015 free transfer to Benfica on a 5 year contract: 0 first team appearances (7 reserve team appearances, 1 goal) January 2017 - 18 month loan agreed with Genoa: 6 appearances, 0 goals It would almost be tempting to have him back, as long as Ollie could make him subscriber to the work ethic - of which there is absolutely no chance!

Which club did Clive Allen join without playing for Arsenal? Palace. Who signed for QPR, under 10 years ago, and scored 8 goals in his first 6 league matches for us?

I'm assuming that he came straight from Fulham.
If correct, which other club did he play at Wembley for?

Had to Google that one - he played for non-league Hillingdon Borough in the FA Trophy final which lost to Telford in 1971. Which former player's name is this an anagram of: PET KNITS CAM

Hillingdon winning 2-0 at half time before losing 3-2! I travelled on the met line from Chesham to see the game still sligtly p****d from the night before whern I was part of the winning team in the Wycombe junior Cup!

PET KNITS CAM = MATT PICKENS The old leg-breaker himself... Too easy... something a little more cryptic: This player's nickname suggests that he might have enjoyed slow-cooking legumes in liquid...

Slow cooking in liquid - to stew
Legumes - lentils, beans, peas
Stewpeas = Damion Stewart
Maybe an easier one then...
Anagram of former player who clearly liked playing hoops...
WE GOT LIKELIER DEMO

Hopefully Nomar will forgive me for muscling in on his question, but how many former or current QPR academy players played for QPR's first team last season? Name them if you can.

Bowler Manning Grego-Cox and Eze Name the ex Rangers forward affectionately nicknamed ''Sarge'' There were a lot more than that Rousdon, 12 in total (unless someone can point out one I've missed): Ryan Manning, Olamide Shodipo, Darnell Furlong, Michael Doughty, Michael Petrasso, Niko Hämäläinen, Eberechi Eze, Osman Kakay, Reece Grego-Cox, Brandon Comley, Cole Kpekawa and Josh Bowler. No idea about "Sarge".

Picture clue for this one... Rearrange the images to work out the name of one of Rangers' former players - some more 'senior' QPR Report members may have seen him play.
