Beale lines up more signings for QPR
Michael Beale has confirmed he is keen to bring in more new signings at QPR this summer.
The new head coach has already snapped up Jake Clarke-Salter and Kenneth Paal on free transfers and is working with director of football Les Ferdinand to pursue other targets.
“Me and Les are busy talking about the squad and one or two players we’d like to add,” said Beale at a press conference on Monday – his first since taking over.
Beale, 41, has been tipped to bring in youngsters from Aston Villa, where he left his job as assistant boss in order to join the R’s.
The likes of striker Cameron Archer have been linked with loan moves to Loftus Road.
But Beale, who has also worked at Glasgow Rangers, Liverpool and Chelsea, insisted: “I’m not guaranteed any favours from anyone.
“In football, everyone has to do what’s right for their young players.
“Aston Villa do have some very talented young players. So do the other clubs that I’ve worked with.
“But it’s important that we have players who are here at QPR and invested in our future.
“So, with any of the players that we would bring here on loan, is there an option that they could stay here longer term?
“QPR is not going to be a holding ground for players from other teams to develop. But we will use the loan market if and when needed.”

Not impressed say one thing then do another. Will not progress until Les & his Spur’s cronies get the boot. Paal is too lightweight for the Championship plus he is a small 5″ 7″” at best lists his height at 5″ 8″ but no where near that. Plus Clark-Salter turns slower than the Queen Mary. Will be a big liability in The Championship against anyone with pace. There is a reason Chelsea dumped him on a free.

I like that he has said we do not need to sell any players, unless a offer is to good not to agree for the player and more importantly QPR.
I have always felt for the last five years we were like Del Boy, keep saying we’ve had interest for various players publicly this I feel is unsettling for players, supporters and seems desperate to me. Like fire sale when we want top money like we got for Eze.

Very impressed so far, we need forwards can’t rely on dyke, fit for Scotland needs to put QPR first
