Burnley keen on QPR defender Edwards - West London Sport

Burnley are interested in QPR defender Ronnie Edwards.

Rangers signed Edwards, 23, from Southampton for £4.5m in January.

And they could be given an early chance to make a profit on the centre-back, who has established himself as a fans’ favourite at Loftus Road.

He made 17 Championship appearances for the R’s last season, having impressed while on loan during the second half of the previous campaign.

Burnley, relegated from the Premier League last season, are targeting an immediate return to the top flight and have identified Edwards as a potential signing.

Part of a team that had more losses, more goals against & bigger losses throughout the season, so I doubt if the interest is real, because Burnley will be wanting to go back to the Premier League, not League 1!

being interested isn’t getting.Edwards is staying put.

If they are offering double what we paid we have to sell. That’s the model and we can reinvest in the team.

We cannot sell Ronnie Edwards. He is a vital part of QPR’s squad and he has improved it since his arrival. If we were to sell him we would no doubt just sqaunder the money on inferior players anyway. Also it would show that QPR have no real interest in improving themselves or aiming for a play off place this coming season.

Would need to be a substantial fee as Southampton are bound to have a sell on fee in the contract. He hasn’t been up to the form of his loan period, so if the fee is right then it should be considered.

it would annoy me greatly if Edwards is allowed to move within the league in preseason after we had him on loan wanted to buy him then Southampton didnt use him only for us to win him back & give him first team games
