Tony Fernandes hoping Chris Samba will stay at Queens Park Rangers

Tony Fernandes is hoping to keep Chris Samba at Queens Park Rangers despite suffering relegation out of the Premier League.

Realistic

Fernandes claims he would also like to keep French forward Loic Remy at Loftus Road, but concedes that he may wish to remain in the Premier League at a different club. He added: "I think you've got to be real, it's a World Cup year. There are lots of players who can play in their national team, I think in some case Loic - it's a drug isn't it? When you're playing against the big sides and you want to do that. Loic is probably at the peak of his career and he wants to do that. "I'd love him to stay. Both Chris and Loic are two players I signed, I went out and got them against the odds and I'd love them both to stay but we're going to have to see." Fernandes has also refused to rule out the possibility of Peter Odemwingie completing a move to QPR in the summer, after seeing the West Bromwich Albion striker caught up in a transfer fiasco on deadline day in January. "Never say never," he said. "It depends what West Brom want to do as well - it depends what Peter wants to do but I think Harry (Redknapp) likes the player."
