Redknapp rules out Mackie exit

[SuperHoopNik]

Harry Redknapp has told Fulham to forget about a January move for QPR forward Jamie Mackie.

Rangers' west London rivals have been linked with a surprise £3million swoop for the Scotland international, who has scored two goals this season.

Mackie has started every game under Redknapp and still has two-and-a-half years to run on his contract at Loftus Road.

The R's boss wants to bring in as many as five new faces when the transfer window reopens next week, with several players set to be offloaded to free up space in his squad.

However, Redknapp insists he has no intention of flogging Mackie to their neighbours.

“Jamie's a fantastic boy, a great lad," the QPR chief told the Chronicle.

"He's the sort of boy who gives everything and you couldn't meet a better lad than him.

“He's the kind of player we want to keep hold of – I love Jamie. I enjoy seeing him coming into work every day. He's a top bloke.”

Fair play. Not my kind of footballer but 99% of our lot could learn a thing or 2 off of him about attitude, application & desire.

agreed rocs...limited ability and will never pull up trees regularly in the prem.........but id have him in the trenches over more gifted but heartless performers!

[QPR Richard]

Never been a great fan of his as a player, but for attitude and hunger, there's not many better in the squad, and that counts for quite a bit in my book.

personally think he's a smashing lad as frog face Ray would say, but a pretty average footballer. He should be a squad player but because we have been totally under performing he actually merits his place. Rather him than cisse although he does miss the odd sitter he causes defences more problems with effort movement and desire

[Ginger Ninja]

Hes not the best footballer. But he gets goals, thats for sure. And he runs himself into the ground every single game. I think hes brilliant, reminds me of a young gareth ainsworth.

roc's still talking allot of sense after a good bashing, leave the fighting to us boys that can take a punch ;)

[theblackmafia.]

Gotta agree, don't rate him at all but he seems a lovely bloke and has QPR in his heart

[stanistheman]

Limited ability, but bags of enthusiasm. I agree he should be used mainly as a sub, but the form of others has seen him used as a regular starter (which for me only makes QPR's problems worse because he often misses chances he should score - like last night or against Fulham).

[BUSHRANGER1982]

Would always be a place in my squad for a lad like Jamie.

It was a wine bottle around the side of the nut & fear not that only came from an accomplice after I'd belted his pal all over the gaff like a rag doll.

[Starflyer77]

Without players like Mackie, Hill and Derry we would have no heart in the team. My heroes.
