Rangers star Dickie set to stay

Rob Dickie looks set to stay at QPR despite reports of a potential move to the Premier League.

Newcastle and Leeds have been linked with the centre-back, as have Wolves, but it appears he will not be leaving west London during this transfer window.

Reports have suggested that Newcastle and Leeds in particular were keen on Dickie and were lining up a pre-deadline move for him.


But it appears that neither club have decided to follow up their interest with an offer.

QPR manager Mark Warburton has told West London Sport that no approaches have been received for any of his star players.

“There have been none. None whatsoever,” said Warburton, who has previously hit out at speculation over the futures of Dickie and goalkeeper Seny Dieng.

Warburton added: “You’re seeing journalists saying Newcastle, Leeds, Wolves all going in for our players. Nonsense. Absolute nonsense.

“But they seem to get away with it week on week and stories then generate from their false stories in the first place.

“They have a responsibility to get some facts. The stories are just nonsensical and the fans read it and react to it

“I get the game. I get the content requirement. But sometimes a bit of truth and fact would help the matter.

“Clubs put valuations on players that they think are appropriate – hence my frustration when you see journalists banding around numbers which are bizarre.”
