Brentford Official Site- THIRD NEW BEE PUTS PEN TO PAPER

Hammersmith born midfielder, Marcus Bean, who started his career at Loftus Road but more recently has been on loan with Rotherham United, signed on the dotted line.
23 year old Marcus is the third new player to pledge themselves to Brentford for next season following swiftly in the footsteps of Moses Ademola and Sam Wood.
Marcus, describing himself as a box to box player who is committed to getting the ball down to play, said he was looking forward to returning to London, having left the capital two and a half years ago when signing for Blackpool. Whilst at the Bloomfield Road club he helped them gain promotion via the Play Offs to the Championship.
Andy said: "He`s a player we have been tracking for a few months now after impressive displays for Rotherham when they were going well earlier in the season. He will be a good acquisition to the squad as he is a good age and brings with him enthusiasm, determination, physical strength and experience of the division".
There will be an interview with Marcus on this Site later on today. Brentford

QPR Official Site - IN PROFILE: PETER RAMAGE
A versatile and committed defender, Peter Ramage's career began with his boyhood Club Newcastle United, who he joined at the tender age of 11.
Having successfully come through their youth system - Peter captained the Academy U17 side to runners-up spot in the league - he was soon a regular for the Reserves, making 34 appearances in 2003/04.
His much-craved debut for the Magpies came in March 2005, as a substitute against Olympiacos in the UEFA Cup.
It wasn't long before Peter forged a reputation for himself as a whole-hearted and dependable centre-back, who could also operate on the right, and he enjoyed regular run outs for the Geordies in 2005/06 and 2006/07.
A cruciate knee injury suffered in the opening month of the 2007/08 campaign halted his progress, however, and upon Peter's return to fitness, Manager Kevin Keegan chose to stick with the players in the team who were enjoying a good run of form.
With the Newcastle boss unable to guarantee him regular first-team football, Peter opted for a move to QPR. QPR
