Queens Park Rangers fans are expecting some exciting new arrivals at the club this summer.
QPR boss Ian Holloway spoke exclusively to Get West London about his club’s distinct lack of transfer activity so far this summer, and blamed the sheer volume of players brought into Loftus Road over the past few years as a major contributing factor as to why.
Holloway has brought just two players into the club during the off-season thus far, both free transfers, and Rangers fans are becoming increasingly more frustrated, with it being quite clear that the squad is in need of major surgery.

The west London outfit finished last season in 18th position in the Championship table, just two points clear of the relegation spots, and there is genuine concern at Loftus Road that the club are on a gradual slide towards the third tier of English football, especially if the necessary additions are not made this summer.
And Holloway spoke to Get West London, explaining why the transfer business is slow at QPR this summer:
“I understand why people are saying ‘why aren’t we making signings?’, but we’ve made too many in the past and they might be inhibiting me now because we haven’t got the money. We’re trying to build an identity of what we want to do, and it’s not easy but i’m pleased with everyone who took part on Saturday and showed a really good attitude. The work’s going on in the background but we’ve got to be patient.”
There is still around three weeks remaining until the new campaign kicks off, however, so the QPR boss has plenty of time to bring some quality into the club.
If he fails to do that though, it could be a miserable season on the horizon for Hoops fans.
