BBC - QPR knock back approach for Cook

Queens Park Rangers have rejected a bid from Fulham for winger Lee Cook.
The Cottagers offered their west London neighbours £1.5m for the 24-year-old, but chairman Gianni Paladini has dismissed their approach out of hand.
Paladini told BBC London 94.9: "He's got a two-year contract and he's a QPR player - end of story.
"I think he would be a bit offended if someone valued him at £1.5m. He's a QPR player and unless we get a decent deal he's going nowhere and he knows that."
Cook started his career in non-league football with Aylesbury before joining Watford and then QPR.
He first moved to Loftus Road in a loan deal from the Hornets in December 2002 and secured a permanent deal in July 2004.
He has made more than 100 appearances for the club since and has scored 10 goals and has been repeatedly linked with a summer move away.
But that £1.5m valuation falls well short of what QPR would be looking for and Paladini added: "There's no way he's going for £1.5m. I just want to assure the fans." BBC
