Crystal Palace 0-1 QPR (Buzsaky)
Harry Redknapp has been looking to boost his squad ahead of Portsmouth’s first assault on European opponents, and has finally sealed a deal to give his side more firepower.
Israeli teenager Ben Sahar has joined the Fratton Park outfit on a six-month loan deal from Stamford Bridge. Having previously been on loan at teams like Qpr and Sheffield Wednesday, the 18-year-old will have to step up to compete in the Premiership and the UEFA Cup.
He now joins players like Jermaine Defoe, David Nugent and Kanu in jostling for the striking berths on the South Coast:
I’m ready for the challenge of being part of such a big club, like Portsmouth.
I want to be part of it and to show that I deserve to be here.
Although only having Championship and Carling Cup experience in England, Sahar has been a fully-fledged international since 17, and recently played against England. This means that he has faced some tough, talented, experienced opposition before, putting him in good stead for the UEFA Cup, a competition which Sahar admits was key in his move:
It was a factor. We have seen Portsmouth are a great team who can win trophies.
They are now in Europe and that will be a big challenge as well.
How much we can expect from a teenager who only scored 3 goals in 21 Championship games last season is yet to be seen, but much has been said of the player who has yet to show his true potential. Perhaps he can do it at Fratton Park, but to expect him to explode would be foolish. I remember Jérémie Aliadière being talked up a lot at 18…
An unprecedented shopping spree is expected to hit Loftus Road next month, as Queens Park Rangers make use of the influx of cash courtesy of Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal. QPR, currently 21st in the 24-team Coca Cola Championship, clearly need the help. But just who are they pursuing?
Watford midfielder Gavin Mahon, West Ham striker Hogan Ephraim and Sunderland forward Darryl Murphy, for starters, according to the Mirror. The paper reports the trio’s arrival as a done deal worth a total £2.5million and adds that Rowan Vine’s loan from Birmingham will also be made permanent.
Fitz Hall is said to be on his way from Wigan, with Sky Sports reporting that Latics have accepted an offer for the unsettled defender. While Sky does not confirm QPR as the winning bidder, Rangers have been reported as the front-runners for Hall’s signature, ahead of Coventry City and Norwich City.
What do you think of these moves? How much will they help QPR?
