Aww - I might cry

What a man

"I've had several conversations with Harry and [club owner] Tony Fernandes," the New Zealander said.

"They have been so understanding with my situation.

"They understand that when I play I am playing on glass knees and glass ankles. It is a bit of a struggle.

"They know I am at the end but they also know the predicament they are in. It is a major predicament.

"QPR would like me to keep playing but we have to sit down and talk. If we can get five straight wins, that'd be perfect.

"I think then we can shake hands and part company but we are just going to have to talk and see how things progress."

So he's playing on in pain, one of the few Hughes transfers who QPR supporters have rated and appreciated - example comment stolen below:

"If he goes, then I won't even question his decision.
He's given 100% every game and shown as much heart as Hill or Mackie (quite a feat!) He definitely shows he cares as much as we do. "

I think Ryan is one of the few players I've always been interested in reading about. A professional who plays with his heart on his sleeeve - who cared about every ball. My type of defender and I think one of the shameful, lowest points of the evil Venkean Alliance.

And even now he cares, he wants this opportunity but wishes he could set things right for the QPR fans. True legend.
