Queens Park Rangers
Championship leaders, Queen’s Park Ranger’s manager, Neil Warnock is lamenting the loss of Ipswich Town’s Jon Walters to Premier League side Stoke City. Warnock told BBC Radio London, "I think we're miles away. I told the directors we're a sixth to tenth position team.”
He continued, "We need two good strikers but we lost one of them to the Premier League. We thought we had him last week. It's disappointing as Walters has been my number one target now for a long time."
Cardiff City
In contrast to QPR, Cardiff City have no shortage of strikers. As well as having the division’s top scorer in Jay Boothroyd, the Bluebirds have Michael Chopra, Peter Whittingham and Craig Bellemy in the squad, and have just signed Wolves’ striker Andy Keogh on a season long loan.
Dave Jones the Bluebirds boss has also added, Seyi Olofinjana, Danny Drinkwater, Jason Koumas, Lee Naylor and Tom Heaton to the side this summer so will have to shuffle his pack if he wants to keep them all happy.
However, it looks likely that Ross McCormack will be heading out of the club, with Leeds United and Hull City the favorites to sign the talented young striker.
A dramatic and well deserved victory against West Ham last week moved Liverpool onto third in the league standings. Rafael Benitez’s side are three points off Manchester United in second and six points off the leaders Chelsea.
Still, the chase for the domestic title is on although Pepe Reina confessed a while ago that Liverpool were not confident of piping everyone at the top come May.
Anyway, before every match day, Rafael Benitez eyes nothing else but a victory.
Last season, the Reds were inches away from claiming the English Premier League trophy for the first time since almost two decades. However, dropped points against lower teams especially cost them a lot.
