Zarate out

Mauro Zarate has completed his loan move to QPR despite late interest from Crystal Palace. A shame, as he looked to be a decent flair player, though his relationship with Sam Allardyce appears to have completely broken down. Had he wanted to stay and fight for a place he'd have surely got some games in January with Sakho injured and going to Africa. As it is, we might need to sign another loan striker to support Carroll, Valencia and Cole. Meanwhile, just how many ex-WHU players do QPR have? Zarate joins old Irons Rob Green, Bobby Zamora and Rio Ferdinand.
