And from the Daily Mail...
QPR line up sensational swoop for sacked Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu

By Sami Mokbel


EXCLUSIVE

Queens Park Rangers look prepared to do whatever it takes to land Premier League football after discussing a shock move for Adrian Mutu.

The Loftus Road club are sitting pretty at the top of the Championship after an 19-game unbeaten start to the season.

And high level talks at the west London club have seen the controversial former Chelsea striker mentioned as a possible January target.

Manager Neil Warnock wants to bolster his attacking options once the transfer window re-opens next month.

Sportsmail understands Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini has good contacts with Serie A side Fiorentina - who have made it clear to the Italian that they'd consider letting Mutu leave the Viola. And making a move for Mutu is an option Rangers are giving consideration to.

Whether Mutu would be prepared to move to the second tier of English football remains to be seen, while despite their financial clout, Rangers would struggle to match the Romanian's wages.

Mutu's chequered past in England may also provide a stumbling block to a possible move.

He was sacked by Chelsea in 2004 after failing a drugs test and has only just returned from another ban in Italy after testing positive for banned stimulant sibutramine.

Nevertheless, Rangers' interest in Mutu shows they mean business in their bid to bring top-flight football back to Loftus Road.

Warnock tried to play down the possibility of bringing in the 31-year-old, but said: 'There are always possibilities - you don't say no to anybody. 'We have contacts in Italy and in one or two other places with good players.

'Like anybody else the owners are in conversations with many people and names are pushed forward and they put it past me. 'But at the moment we are not thinking of anything substantial like that.' MAIL

Mutu: No QPR move on the cards

.QPR manager Neil Warnock has played down talk linking the club with a move for controversial Fiorentina forward Adrian Mutu.

Recent reports have linked the ambitious Championship club with a shock swoop for the former Chelsea striker.

Mutu, who is currently at Fiorentina, has endured a controversial career having only recently returning to action after a nine-month ban for twice testing positive for the banned stimulant sibutramine.

The Romanian was also sacked by Chelsea in 2004 after failing a drugs test for cocaine and then he lost his final appeal against his sacking and was ordered to pay the Blues £14.3million in compensation.

Fiorentina are thought to be open to offers for Mutu with QPR's owners believed to be weighing up a move for the 31-year-old.

However, Warnock has laughed off the rumours and insists there are no plans to bring Mutu to Loftus Road.

Asked about the possibility of signing of Mutu, Warnock told Sky Sports News: "No I don't think so. There are always possibilities - you don't say no to anybody.

"We have contacts in Italy and in one or two other places with good players.

"Like anybody else the owners are in conversations with many people and names are pushed forward and they put it past me.

"But at the moment we are not thinking of anything substantial like that." http://www.teamtalk.com/championship/6606263/Warnock-rejects-Mutu-talk
