MARK HUGHES SIGNINGS Nedum Onuoha – (£3m – £55,000-per-week) – One of Mark Hughes’s first signings but struggled to find the form that put him on the brink of an England call. 4/10 Djibril Cisse – (£4m – £60,000-per-week) – Scored six in eight upon joining in January 2012, but also picked up two red cards in his first five games for the club. Partial success. 6/10 Bobby Zamora – (£6m – £70,000-per-week) – Played a vital role in keeping QPR up last season but struggled with a hip injury this season. 6/10 Samba Diakite – (£3.5m – £45,000-per-week) – Was key in last season’s survival push but hardly featured this season. 2/10 Federico Macheda (loan) – Arrived from Manchester United with a promising reputation but did not make a single league start for QPR. 2/10 Taye Taiwo (loan) – Recognised as one of the best left backs in European football but failed to live up to his billing before returning to AC MIlan. 4/10 Andy Johnson – (Free – £40,000-per-week) – Made just two starts since arriving from Fulham due to a season-ending knee injury. 1/10 Ryan Nelsen – (Free – £35,000-per-week) – Arguably the club’s player of the season despite only playing half of the campaign before moving to take charge of Toronto FC. 7/10 Stephane Mbia – (£5m – 50,000-per-week) – Added strength to QPR’s midfield and back four but not been consistent enough this season. 4/10 Robert Green – (Free – £50,000-per-week) – Under pressure from the outset after conceding five on his debut and being relegated to No 2 following the signing of Julio Cesar. Struggled. 3/10 Park Ji-sung – (£2m – £70,000-per-week) – Heralded as the man to take QPR to the next level. But the former Manchester United midfielder has struggled in a struggling team. 3/10 Junior Hoilett – (£4m – £50,000-per-week) – Viewed as one of the coups of the summer. But the pacy winger has flitted in and out of QPR’s team. 3/10 Esteban Granero – (£3.5m – £65,000-per-week) – The former Real Madrid midfielder arrived with a good reputation and big things were expected but he has not delivered. 3/10 Julio Cesar – (Free – £75,000-per-week) – One of only a handful of Hughes’s captures that has rightfully earned his keep. Kept QPR in games with big saves. 7/10 Fabio (Loan) – Must be wishing he’d never left Manchester United last summer. 3/10
Are these salaries true? HARRY REDKNAPP SIGNINGS Loic Remy (£8m – £80,000-per-week) – If only he’d been at the club since the start of the season. Will surely move to a top club this summer. 8/10 Chris Samba (£12m – £100,000-per-week) – Broke all the club’s financial records but his presence has not been enough to save QPR. 5/10 Jermaine Jenas (Undisclosed – £40,000-per-week) – QPR look better with him in the side. But not had enough time to bed in. 5/10 Andros Townsend (Loan) – Been one of the only bright sparks for Redknapp during the closing weeks of the season. Looks a top player. 7/10
No. But that doesn't diminish the shitty situation we're in with wages and player value (lack thereof).
