http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/7751059.stm 23-year-old defender Gary Barrowdale has come on loan from Coventry until December 31st. The R's were reportedly interested in him in the past and he's fallen out of favor with Chris Coleman at Coventry.
Balanta's loan has been extended through February 14th, but he can be recalled with 24 hours notice. http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1492600,00.html
Marc Bircham is going to hang up his boots at age 30 "after a persistent ankle injury had kept him in the treatment room since September. Last season he was hampered by back and hamstring problems." http://www.yeovilexpress.co.uk/yeovil_town/4030293.Bircham_to_call_it_a_day_with_Yeovil_Town/
Sad news for Birch. Guessing he'll become a regular in the Loftus Road stands in retirement. Though I think coaching has been mentioned in his future.
Yeah sad, always liked Marc Bircham, no matter what people said about his level of play you could never question who's side he was on. I'd think there might be a role of some kind for him in coaching or maybe broadcasting. maybe FSN can hire him for MLS games, he can't do much worse than what they sometimes have on there, and he is "canadian".
Agyemang injured his thigh in training on Wednesday, will undergo surgery this Saturday to determine the extent of the injury, and they won't have an estimated time he'll be out until then. http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1514628,00.html If another forward wasn't on the shopping list before, it might be now.
Congrats to ex-R Marcus Bean, now at Brentford, for winning the League Two Player of the Month award. http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/League2PlayeroftheMonth/0,,10794~1517774,00.html
http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1529186,00.html Agyamang will be "months rather than weeks" returning and they're hoping for a return to action in three months, so Patrick looks to be gone for much or all of the remainder of the season (they say the earliest will be mid-April).
