Redknapp won't panic buy in January

Harry Redknapp has ruled out making any panic buys next month in an ill-conceived attempt to lift QPR off the foot of the Barclays Premier League.

Rangers enter Sunday's clash with Liverpool at Loftus Road six points adrift of safety following successive defeats by Newcastle and West Brom and Redknapp accepts they must strengthen. Demba Ba, Brede Hangeland and Robbie Keane are among Redknapp's targets with the QPR boss insisting any new signing must bring something to their survival bid.

"If we can get one or two in, we'll give ourselves a chance. That's what I'm looking at," said Redknapp, who denied having made an approach for Hangeland.
