Hughes keen to maintain focus

by Setanta Staff , 31 January 2012 football news

Mark Hughes doesn't think QPR's frantic end to transfer deadline day will have an impact on their performance against Aston Villa.


The west London side have been one of the busiest clubs this month and look set for a hectic end to the day.

Boss Hughes this afternoon completed the signing of Lazio striker Djibril Cisse, who goes straight into the squad for their clash at Villa Park, subject to international clearance being received one hour before kick-off.

The Rs still hope to bring in Fulham's Bobby Zamora for a fee understood to be between £4million and £5million and, while the Hoops are not among the many clubs playing, Hughes admits the deadline's timing is making things hard to juggle.

"[It is] a little bit [problematic] possibly because ideally you want a clear run at the window on the last day," he said. "You are getting calls and a situation can present itself very, very quickly.

"All the while there are other things going on as well, people are in for medicals and there are a lot of things going on the last day of the window."
