The People - HOTLINE - £2.5m flop Rowan in QPR's boat
Birmingham misfit Rowan Vine looks set to join Championship strugglers QPR on loan.
Striker Vine, 25, joined Blues from Luton for £2.5million in January but has yet to play a Premier League game.
His only two first-team appearances came in the Carling Cup and he failed to score in either of them. The People
NB: From a Fan Site September 11 Interview with QPR Chairman Paladini,
(Q) What about Vine and Clements?
(Answer) would you pay £55,000 a week for Clement or £75,000 a week for Vine?. They want assurances that we buy these players in January now. Thats how much it works out. As it stands I would rather not do the deal for these players
What if, we don't want to keep them, what if they don't fit in. I am inclined not to do them. The whole ball game has changed now, teams know we are the richest club in the championship and they are trying to get more money from us. I know karen Brady well, she is my neighbour, but we won't do this deal. Interview
