Hughes eyes fresh faces

by Setanta Staff , 27 January 2012 football news

Mark Hughes wants more new faces at QPR before the transfer window shuts next week.


The Welshman replaced Neil Warnock at the Loftus Road helm earlier this month and has made no secret of his intention to bring in reinforcements.

AC Milan left-back Taye Taiwo and Manchester City's Nedum Onuoha were drafted in this week, while the Rs were thwarted in moves for Brazilian duo Alex and Henrique.

Hughes has been linked with a host of other players and hopes there is more business to be done, with some reports suggesting a move for Wigan's Hugo Rodallega could be on the cards.

"I think there was some talk of that," Hughes said when asked about the striker. "As you can imagine there are a lot of conversations going on at the moment. Forward players, midfield players, defenders - that is what happens in the January window. "

In terms of concrete movement on things it really isn't worth discussing individual things until they put the kit on and start training with us.

January is what it is and is a time when you have conversations with people in regards to the position of players at people's clubs.

Sometimes those conversations are misinterpreted as strong interest."
