This British striker....

[californiahoop]

Copied and pasted from itv sport ......QPR boss Harry Redknapp is hoping to add Cardiff skipper Steven Caulker to his squad, plus an unnamed England forward.

Redknapp insists he will always buy British players if possible.

"You can take chances with too many foreign players," he said.

"In the main I like players that have played in England and proved they can do it here rather than wait six months to see if they settle in – we haven't got six months.

"We are looking at another English striker so if I can get British players in the main then I will."

Cheers

to be fair, he is right to say that he wants players who have proved themselves here rather than wait to see kif they settle. QPR tried that with Granero & Mbia and it failed.

It can work if you have a settled capable squad and have time to settle an overseas player, bit QPR don't really have that.

Hopefully Granero will be settled now and can have a good season that justifies the gamble Hughes took to bring him here.

It's narrowed down to an English striker rather than a British striker so that definitely rules out players like Rhodes.

Born in England but take your point.

I think he means that he wants a striker who is proven in England (preferably the Premiership) to work with Charlie. I think that makes sense but is not easy to find.

Think he means the Watford striker. But he is hardly proven in the Premiership.

I thought he said English striker. If it was a proven striker in England, it could mean foreigners, which he seems to want to avoid.

They aren't proven yet at this level. We need experience. Can't win anything with kids...
