Ian's exit in-Evattable
Ben Kosky, Kilburn Times & other Local London Papers 11 January 2006
Ian Evatt has been placed on the transfer list as QPR begin clearing the decks to make room for new signings.The big centre-half, signed for £150,000 from Chesterfield only last summer, is one of five Rangers players to be told they can leave the club.Midfielders Marcus Bean and Adam Miller are also surplus to requirements, while Aaron Brown has signed for Swindon following a loan spell with the League One strugglers.Another of the Rs' summer signings, Nigerian defender Ugo Ukah, has also been made available for transfer after making just two appearances for the club.
By contrast, Evatt has pulled on a hooped shirt 18 times - but manager Ian Holloway decided he had seen enough after last month's back-to-back defeats by Coventry and Brighton."Ian Evatt was captain at his old club, so he's not a nugget - but he knows how I feel about what he's been giving me so far," Holloway told the Times."You need to have a lot of pace and be confident in your pace. I've put him in the reserves and it's up to him how he responds to that."He had a lot of clubs after him in the summer and, if I do manage to bring in other defenders during the window, he'll be further down the pecking order."
Bean, who spent two months on loan at promotion-chasing Swansea earlier this season, entered discussions about a new contract following his return to Loftus Road. But the QPR boss was less than impressed by Bean's displays against Coventry and Brighton and insisted: "I think everyone needs to know where they stand."With everyone else I've got in midfield and Scott Donnelly coming through as well, I don't think Marcus will be patient enough."
He came back and had a little chance to get back in the first team, but the fact is I chose Evatt and Beanie and we lost a couple of games, then I left them out and we started winning again."Holloway has so far made little progress in his attempts to add to the squad - with the need to find a new striker increased by Kevin Gallen's ongoing injury problems.Gallen and Marc Nygaard, who has a calf strain, will both be absent again when Rangers take on Southampton at Loftus Road on Saturday."I don't know what's happening with Kevin Gallen," Holloway added. "He's had scan after scan and we're still no closer to working out what's wrong with him."I thought I'd managed to get a striker in on loan a couple of days ago, but then his club changed their mind. The problem is that, with this stupid window, everyone's chasing the same players."I don't think I'm going to have any money to buy, but I'm trying to get some loans, preferably young players."Midfielder Steve Lomas, who also played for the Rs' reserves in Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Wycombe, could return to the first-team squad this weekend.The former Northern Ireland skipper has been out for nearly three months with a hamstring problem.

BEAN
BBC - Bean keen on Swansea return Swansea could be set to continue their January shopping spree, with QPR's Marcus Bean one possible target.
The midfielder, 21, impressed during a two-month loan spell at the Liberty Stadium earlier this season before being recalled to Loftus Road.
But QPR boss Ian Holloway has now decided that Bean is surplus to requirements and is ready to sell him.
"With everyone else I've got in midfield, I don't think Marcus will be patient enough," Holloway said.
Bean is a firm favourite of Swans boss Kenny Jackett, who has injury problems in midfield with both Owain Tudur Jones and Kris O'Leary sidelined with knee ligament problems.
The Swans' attack has been boosted by the arrival of Leon Knight, who scored a hat-trick on debut against MK Dons, from Brighton.
Jackett has also invested defensively by taking Steve Watt from Chelsea and Tom Williams from Gillingham.
But another midfielder would complete the jigsaw for the League One pace-setters.
Bean left the Liberty Stadium after a QPR injury crisis saw him recalled, but is on record as saying he would relish a return to south Wales.
"If it was down to me I'd stay here, I love the club, the fans, the players and the area and would love to come back," Bean said back in November
