CLD Sport - Key Lower League Transfers - Part 1
"...A lot of the teams in the leagues below the Premier League have already carried out a number of transfer deals, so in this first edition of a regular weekly segment, CLD Sport will examine the major transfer exchanges and how they might have a bearing on the forthcoming campaign..."

Players- Peter Ramage and Radek Cerny
Clubs Newcastle/ Slavia Prague > QPR. Fees- Free.
Review- Two big Premier League signings from the wealthy Queens Park Rangers. With substantial financial backing, these could be the first of many purchases for Iain Dowie’s side, who want to improve on last season’s 14th place finish. Ramage was nearing 50 starts for Newcastle and was considered a decent prospect, if only a back up. Kevin Keegan, despite barely playing the 24 year old, wanted to keep him but couldn’t guarantee regular football. It is a credit to Ramage that he wanted to seek regular action rather than loitering in the reserves, picking up his wages. Cerny is another impressive signing, having displaced Paul Robinson at one point last season and making 20 starts, producing some agile saves. The signings are a clear statement of intent from the club.
Predicted Impact- These two players should form part of the core of a very strong QPR side this coming season. They certainly won’t be the last players to sign as Iain Dowie aims to take another club up from the Championship. The lure of the capital is a good selling point and QPR can now compete on a wages front with the teams relegated from the Premiership. QPR should be vying for a play off place at the very least and have made two smart signings already." CLD Sport
