Harry Redknapp: Queens Park Rangers need to boost forward power

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp said his side's goalless home draw with Crystal Palace showed the need to bring in more forward power during the January transfer window.

Charlie Austin has carried the bulk of the goalscoring burden for Rangers this season, but the prolific forward was unable to add another against London rivals Palace at Loftus Road.

Redknapp told his postmatch news conference: "You need four strikers -- you need to be able to change the game, bring on some pace, get behind people.

"We can't -- I haven't got anyone to freshen it up. I've got Bobby [Zamora] and Charlie [Austin], and [Eduardo] Vargas looks happier out on the right.

"The trouble is: where are you going to find a striker on loan? People will come up with names and they'll be useless. 'Harry, what about him?' Good luck.

"We lost Loic Remy on the deadline [in the summer], and that really cost us. If I had Remy here, he'd have eight to 10 goals by now.

"Perhaps they'll loan him back -- he's not getting a game at Chelsea -- but I don't think they will."
