Redknapps gamble may just save QPR from

You shouldnt be paying ma sive wages when youve got a stadium that holds 18,000 people.I dont want to spend the owners money, really, Ive got to be honest with you.Given Harry Doug McDermott Jersey Redknapps famous, or to some infamous, penchant for splashing cash at the football clubs he has managed, his comments in the lead-up to the current January transfer window had an unfamiliar air of pragmatism and caution to them. It seemed as if Redknapps wont to purchase players in bulk had been curbed by the dire situation, both in footballing and financial terms, that Queens Park Rangers found themselves inby the end of the calendar year. But alas, Rednkapps recent acquisition of French international Loic Remy for 8 million pounds and his admi sion that QPR are on the verge of signing his French counterpart, Yann MVilla, for a similar feenot only rendered his previous comments obselete but represents a considerablegamble from the club ina final attemptto avoid the disastrous financialimplicationsthatwould accompanyits relegation to the Championship.Should MVilla join Remy on the conveyor belt of the nine incoming transfers QPRhave madefor the 2012/13 season,it is tempting to see them as merely another two out-of-form, past-their- Amida Brimah Jersey best players, adding to a roster full of dead weight. However this view is too simplistic. Rewindtwelve monthsand Remy and MVilla were two of the most sought after young players in French, if not, world football. Indeed Redknapp had previously been on the verge Naz Mitrou-Long Jersey of signing Remy for Spurs, and a host of top clubs including Arsenal and Manchester United wereknown to be interestedin MVilla to add steel to their midfield. Admittedly their stocks have fallen notably since they were highly sought-after prospects, through a series of factors, bothon and off the pitch. Remys form this season has seen a return of a miserly three goals this season, while MVillas plight has been even moredrastic he has been frozen out from both the national team (he is banned until 2014) and his club side Rennes due to his growing reputation as a troublemaker.In a squad in which there have already been internal divisions, the addition of another two players with a reputation for trouble andinconsistency may appear the last thing QPR need. But this is effectively their last throw of the dice. Though their careers have taken a nosedive in the last year or so, In Harry Redknapp, Remy and MVilla are under a renowned man-manager who prides himself in getting the best out of his players. Perhaps leaving France and its media is exactly what is needed to revive the fortunes of the two promising talents. With QPR five points off the 17th- Reggie Miller Jersey placed team, Redknapp has clearly opted to place faith in Remys potential to score goals which could be all-important in their quest to survival, and in MVillas potential to strengthen what has at times this season been a non-existent midfield.Clearlyit is a gamble: If QPR do not avoid relegation, theywilllosethe French pair, for whom there will be relegation clauses; on the other hand,if Remy and MVilla inspire the club to an unlikely survival, the clubs ambitious project to become a Premier League power-house will be back on track. It is make or Myles Turner Jersey break time, but QPRs French duo may just prove to be the catalysts to an unlikely salvation act.
