  Queen's Park Rangers have been linked with an audacious swoop for Portuguese star Luis Figo.
  
  The midfielder has made nine appearances for Inter Milan this season but is out of contract in the summer and could be tempted by a mega-money contract.
  
  The wages of the former Portugal captain, 35, are unlikely to be a concern at Loftus Road after the investment of Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.

  Queens Park Rangers F.C.
  
  Queens Park Rangers Football Club is an English football club, based at Shepherds Bush in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in West London. The club's first team currently plays in the Football League Championship. In August 2007 QPR was bought by Formula One tycoons, Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore, who sold a 20% stake to the family of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal in December of that year.
  
  The club is commonly referred to as "QPR" or often just "Rangers" by fans. Other nicknames include the "Hoops" or the "Superhoops" (after the team's kit of blue and white hooped shirts), or the "Rs". The club's fans traditionally consider Chelsea, Fulham and Brentford as rivals owing to their nearby locations - however recently they have also developed a rivalry with Luton Town. QPR are not to be confused with the Scottish clubs, Rangers or Queen's Park.

  But he is already 35... What can a 35 yrs old do seriously?
  
  Apart from lending his name to make QPR more glamorous... I really can't see what else he can do...

  his is still tricky, experienced and delivers good crosses that some wingers can never hope to give during their life.
  
  plus since QPR bosses are rich, they can use his name to attract some good but not yet famous players.
