On the Official Site: July 30, 2009 QPR OFFICIAL SITE EXCLUSIVE: R'S SIGN PELLICORI Posted on: Thu 30 Jul 2009 Queens Park Rangers Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Italian striker Alessandro Pellicori. The 28 year-old, who has been on trial with Jim Magilton's First Team squad for the majority of pre-season, has penned a three year deal. Speaking to www.qpr.co.uk, Magilton expressed his delight at bringing the former Avellino front-man to Loftus Road. "Alessandro has done well with us during his trial period," said Magilton. "He's a natural goalscorer and we're delighted to add him to the already healthy attacking options we have at our disposal. "He'll take time to settle over here, but we're really excited by his arrival." Pellicori began his professional career at Cosenza, before moving on to Lecce in 2000. He made his Serie A top-flight debut in January 2001, before spending time on loan at a variety of Serie C Clubs, before settling down at Grosseto. Twenty-two goals in 52 starts represented a very decent return, but he was soon on the move again, this time signing for Serie B outfit Piacenza. However, he made just nine starts for Piacenza and penned a deal with Serie B rivals Cesena in January 2007. That summer he moved on to newly-promoted Avellino, scoring an impressive 18 goals in 38 starts. Pellicori will wear squad number 12. *You can see Pellicori's excellent goal against Kettering Town last night, exclusively on QPR Player on Friday

Bump...
The actual signing came after some days or weeks of discussion. I seem to recall a certain messageboard poster (perhaps soon to be involved, further, with our club in some capacity) reportedly acted in some Chauffeurial capacity)
Yet another example of multi hundreds of thousands - and if you include transfer fee and "ETC", possibly considerably well over a million pounds down the drain (QPR Ticketholders paying!)

Add it all up:
All those various transfers and loans (Some of which we signed for long loans and sent back after short time); all those transfers, whose contracts we paid off. All those transfers for players who played little, but took a lot of wages. And of course, just the latest, Faurlin fine and Lawyer fees costs. As Carl Sagan (RIP) might have said: That's millions and millions and millions.

Bump. OFFICIALLY Signed - as opposed to all the other reports
And many of us were wondering...Who? Why?
And now Pellicori has his own "issues" re match fixing charges - unrelated to his time at QPR

The goals and their number he scored for us has left me speechless.
