It will come as no surprise to Newcastle United fans that the club is now being strongly linked with another midfielder with French connections, although Arsenal's alleged interest in Joey Barton may be a little more surprising. I am most disappointed to find we haven't signed any new players yet today.

So, what about midfielders. After all, they are usually the most important choices to be made in your fantasy premier league team. Many seasons have shown that the players who collect the most points in fantasy premier league are almost always midfielders. The reason of course being that they get points for just about anything, 5 points for a goal (that's 1 point more than attackers get.

Two years ago, the fate of Manchester City changed when a big money group purchased the club. Fast forward to this upcoming season and all of the money that was spent in the transfer market has paid off as the club will be playing the in Champions League. The same might be happening in France with Paris Saint-Germain.

With the new football season just weeks away, a busy summer of transfer activity in and around the Premier League shows no signs of slowing down.

Manchester United were the early movers in the transfer market with the purchases of Ashley Young, Phil Jones and David De Gea but it would appear that any hopes that they had of signing Wesley Sneijder from Inter are fading with increasing rumours that Manchester City might be in for the Dutch International.

It's not the first time this season that Newcastle have been linked with a move for QPR attacking midfielder Adel Taarabt. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder moved from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, and has been outstanding for the QPR side in the Championship so far this season. QPR bought the Moroccan for around £600K in [.

Liverpool are reportedly lining up a move to sign QPR star Adel Taarabt this summer. The Moroccan international has been a big hit since his arrival from Tottenham and is now being trailed by a number of Premier League sides but the links between the 21 year old and Anfield director of football Damien Comolli may give the Merseyside club the edge in the chase for the playmaker's signature.

Joe Cole to Make QPR Switch

Joe Cole is being heavily linked with a move to QPR as he looks to re-establish himself as a first team footballer in the Premier League...again. Reports suggest a loan deal could be agreed in the coming days, although the Reds would prefer to let the player go on a permanent basis if possible.

Quick Reminder, Real Life It was a bit of an odd ride to clinching the Championship title last season with the threat of 10 point penalty hanging over the club until the waning days of the season. With that disaster averted, Rangers are free to celebrate their return to the Premier League on the back of a particularly stingy defense which conceded 10 fewer goals than the next closest

Sometimes we, and by we I mean the blog, pay the price for this not being a full time job. There are times when the job that pays the bills takes precedence over the enjoyment of bringing you blog posts so long that your bosses, significant others, non-fantasy-playing friends, and children complain about the time spent on them on occasion.

Taarabt's Too Good For You

The plan here was to pen an article about QPR without solely concentrating on their billionaire owners and that helipad that comes out of the centre circle on non-matchdays.

It looks like QPR manager Neil Warnock couldn't stand all the speculation surrounding his 21 year-old top midfielder Adel Taarabt. Adel Taarabt - £5M offer from Newcastle There has been talk all January of the possibility that Newcastle United were interested in the 21 year-old Moroccan midfielder, who was previously at Spurs.

Gems of the Lower Leagues: Danny Graham is a post from: Just Football

Just Football's 'Gems of the Lower Leagues' series continues now with a look at the Championship striker currently banging in the goals for Watford. Making his JF debut, we welcome James McMath:

Danny Graham is the Championship's joint top-scorer and an integral part of a Watford team whose attacking prowess has seen them make an unlikely challenge for promotion.

With Q.P.R five points clear at the top of the Championship table and the prospect of Premiership football next term almost inevitable, what can we make of Neil Warnock's blossoming side and who has been the catalyst for much of their success this season?

Look no further than their captain, the hugely talented Moroccan International Adel Taraabt.

Manager Neil Warnock has told him to spend the next week with his greiving family (he missed the win over Doncaster on Saturday), but Adel was still able to pick up the award last night.

QPR OFFICIAL SITE - R'S BACK IN THE BIG TIME!

Queens Park Rangers is considering a sensational swoop for Joe Cole as they look forward to life in the Barclays Premier League.
Neil Warnock meets with the club's hierarchy on Thursday to discuss plans for the summer and any move for the former England international is high among his priorities.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish's bid to make QPR star Adel Taarabt his first signing since taking over as permanent boss has been stepped up a notch with the news that he is prepared to offer marquee signing Joe Cole in part-exchange.
Taarabt lit up the Championship this season as he led Rangers to the title and a Premier League return, immediately sparking interest from a number of top clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea - as well as Liverpool.

Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock has officially declared Liverpool's Joe Cole unaffordable for the club after reports linked the England international with a move to Loftus Road.
The former West Ham man has endured a fairly miserable season at Anfield after moving to Liverpool last summer on a free transfer from Chelsea.

After the dramatic events which unfolded on the morning of Queens Park Rangers' last match of the season when the club's promotion to the Premier League was finally confirmed after the FA imposed a £875,000 fine rather than a heavy points deduction, Rangers' fans could be forgiven for looking forward to a summer filled with hope and expectation about their first season back in the top flight since 1995-96.

• QPR's promotion hanging in balance at FA disciplinary hearing
Alejandro Faurlín should have no blame attached to him in the Football Association investigation that could lead to Queens Park Rangers' missing out on promotion to the Premier League.
