QPR reveal double trouble in transfer deals
A BRICK wall over wages have scuppered QPR's bid to bring in Michael Dawson – at least for the time being.

Boss Mark Hughes admitted he thought the deal for the Tottenham centre-back might be further down the road, but there is no immediate sign of either the defender or Richard Carvalho.
The former Chelsea central man has been linked with a loan move from Real Madrid, but Hughes was adamant there will be no new faces before the trip to Norwich tomorrow.
The manager said: "As regards Dawson (pic), things are not where I would hope they might be, and there is an issue with his personal terms.
"As for Carvalho, I think a few people have jumped the gun."
However, Hughes was loathe to deny speculation Rangers have made a move for Brazilian number one keeper Julio Cesar ­– and not as a knee-jerk reaction to last Saturday's painful home hammering by Swansea.
"It was always our intention to bring in two keepers and allow Brian Murphy to go on loan," he added.
Rangers are buoyed at Carrow Road by the return of left-back Armand Traore and forward Bobby Zamora – both of whom have recovered from injury.
