Ferdinand confident handlng QPR survival battle

QPR signing Rio Ferdinand is ready for the challenge to keep the club up this season.

A potential relegation battle at Loftus Road will pose a different challenge to what he has been used to previously but Ferdinand insists survival with QPR would be another achievement to add to his list.

"All I play for is winning trophies - I am not silly enough to think we are going to win the title but hopefully we can have a good cup run," Ferdinand said.

"I will not be feeling that buzz here but staying up will be an unbelievable achievement.

"If I had gone to some of the clubs who were interested in me, there would not have been anything to play for.

"Staying in the Premier League would be an amazing achievement."
