Star - QPR OLD BOY SLAMS SKIPPER PARK JI-SUNG

Ex-QPR favourite Lee Cook
11th October 2012
By Darren Witcoop

QPR old boy slams skipper QUEENS PARK RANGERS captain Ji-Sung Park has been accused of heading to Loftus Road for a final payday.

The South Korean, 31, was among the big-name arrivals following boss Mark Hughes’ summer spree.

But the £5m recruit from Manchester United and his fellow new faces have failed to fire, as the Hoops have got off to a terrible start to the season.

And ex-QPR favourite Lee Cook has questioned their motives, as the winless west Londoners prop up the Premier League.

Cook said: “Every time I saw Park at Manchester United he was a workhorse.

“For me he doesn’t seem to be working as hard as he did there.

“People I know think that a few of the players are there for a payday and they are on big wages.

“By halfway through the season you will be able to tell if that’s true or not.”

Under-pressure Hughes has yet to win a league game this season, but has been given a vote of confidence by owner Tony Fernandes.

But Cook – shown the door by the QPR boss this summer – reckons the Welshman’s days are numbered, while Harry Redknapp’s shadow lurks in the background.

Cook, 30, now at Leyton Orient, said: “I really don’t think Tony will muck about.

“When it was Neil Warnock’s time to go, it was ‘See you later’ and he didn’t hold back.

“Just because it’s Mark Hughes and a big name it means nothing.

“If the next seven games are like the first seven, then the club would have four points – and nobody has survived that sort of start.

"For me Redknapp would be a great man to get the job"  The Star


QPR Official Site - ADEL: I'D RATHER WIN

Taarabt: ‘Scoring is good for my confidence, but it would be better if I scored and we won’

I know I have the ability to help the team get our first win. I’m going to try and do that and be a leader"

ADEL Taarabt insists he would rather win games than score spectacular goals.

The charismatic Moroccan has found the net with stunning solo efforts in our last two Barclays Premier League fixtures.

However, after Rangers picked up defeats against both West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion, Taarabt says the goals mean little.

“I was pleased with the goals, but it’s more important to win games,” he told www.qpr.co.uk. “At the moment, we aren’t doing that.

“Scoring is good for my confidence, but it would be better if I scored and we won.

“We just need to start winning games and going up the table, bit by bit. Then I’ll be more happy.

“We have two weeks where we have to work hard, focus and, hopefully, we can get then our first win of the season against Everton.

“You can see that we’ve got the quality in the group. We have a lot of good players – but I just think we have to start games better. If you are going behind all of the time, it’s very difficult.

“I know we keep saying it, but we haven’t had the same starting eleven twice this season. Every game, someone gets injured.

“For the manager it’s really difficult, because when he makes substitutions, it’s not for tactical reasons but for injuries.”

He added: “It’s time for us to stand up and be counted. That’s what I’m trying to do.

“Now I have to win games for my team.

“I know I have the ability to help the team get our first win. I’m going to try and do that and be a leader.

“We just want to win games. I think we’ll be fine when we start to do that.”  QPR
