QPR tie up Smith loan deal

It's a stable club with ambition and you can see what they are trying to build here.[LNB]"I know I will have to work hard to get into the team because they have started very well. If I was a player in the side I would be expecting to hold onto my place, having not lost. I understand that.[LNB]"The manager has told me to bring competition in for places and that's what I intend to do."[LNB]The league blocked Smith's original move because they received the paperwork after the deadline had passed.
