Ryan Nelsen is a signing that QPR fans have not really talked about. The experienced 34 year old who has been repersenting New Zealand at the London 2012 games signed a one year deal with the club back in June. I think Ryan will be a bigger part in Mark Hughes' plans than the fans think and will suprise them with some good defensive displays.
Like Bobby Zamora, Andy Johnson signed for QPR from neighbours Fulham. Andy Scored a hat-trick against the Superhoops last October. Andy is a player that scores goals wherever he goes. However, he has had Injury problems throughout his career which might worry the QPR fans. Like Ryan Nelsen, AJ can be a suprise to the QPR fans if he is kept fit.
After impressing in his loan at QPR, Samba Diakite was a must buy for the R's. The 23 year old who was bought from Nancy for a fee believed to be £3.5 million, was a fans favourite come the end of the season for his tough tackling, good pace and hard working mentality. Queens Park Rangers fans have high expectations for the Malian midfielder in the 2012/13 season.
Fabio Da Silva is an interesting signing. The Brazilian, who was loaned out by Manchester United to Rangers for a season can play full back, left wing or centre midfield. His strongest position is probably at fullback but Mark Hughes has played him in all these positions in pre season. This could be a big year for Fabio and he will need to show his quality for QPR this season if he wants to be in the starting XI for Manchester United in years to come.
David 'Junior' Hoilett is definitely the stand out signing by QPR. The 22 year old Canadian is a very good winger who stood out in the Blackburn Rovers side who got relegated from the Premier league. In January, Junior was named one of the 13 players to look out for in 2012 which is a good achievement for him. Hopefully, David can live up to his expectations and be a crowd pleaser at Loftus Road.
Ji Sung Park was a very clever signing by QPR. The South Korean who signed from Manchester United was loved at Old Trafford for his Hardworking Ability and his consistency. Ji Sung even got the Nickname from the Reds Fans 'Three Lung Park'. His football skills was not the only reason why the R's signed him. Park is a massive hit with the South Koreans in Asia and is more popular there than David Beckham is in England. Shirt sales will make the superhoops a fortune and could get more profit than what they bought Park for anyway.
Rob Green is a keeper that is known for good shot stopping but can make a few mistakes. Rob was signed by Mark Hughes as a replacement for Paddy Kenny who is now at Leeds. He was in Roy Hodgsons 23 man squad who travelled to Poland and Ukraine for the Euros. Green has already made a few mistakes in pre season which is very worrying for the QPR fans. If the supporters can get behind him, He can be a very good goalkeeper for Rangers.
With Owen Hargreaves training at QPR and still a long time left until the transfer window closes, Rangers can start finishing putting the pieces to the jigsaw and Kick on in the Premier League 2012/13 season. COYR's!
