QPR won't let Cook go
Gianni Paladini has reiterated QPR's stance that star midfielder Lee Cook will not the leave the club for less than £10million.
Cook has been one of the leading lights in an otherwise disappointing Championship season and Premiership outfit Tottenham were said to be monitoring the former Watford youngster's progress.
However, Loftus Road chairman Paladini has insisted that he will not let the 24-year-old go on the cheap and that he is keen for manager John Gregory to build a team around the likes of Cook and Dexter Blackstock.
"A long time ago I said we want £10million to let everybody know we would like to keep Cook," said the chairman at a fans' forum on Thursday.
"John wants to build a team around players like Blackstock and Cook, we're not going to sell our best players. If we wanted to do that, we would have done it in January when we had many inquiries for players.
"We're not rich and it would have been a simple solution to sell Lee Cook, Dexter Blackstock and Martin Rowlands, but we want the club to move forward so we want to bring better players every year, John wants to do that next season. If you start getting rid of the best ones, you have to start again."
