Fulham boss Jol doesn't regret losing Zamora to QPR

Fulham boss Martin Jol has no regrets losing Bobby Zamora to QPR.

Zamora left Craven Cottage for Loftus Road in January 2012 but Jol has few regrets at losing a player with a dubious fitness record.

"Bobby wanted to move," said Jol. "He felt he could help QPR. Hopefully, after our game, he will help them. If he is fit he can help any team because he is a good striker.

"When he played he did ever so well but he missed 30 or 40 per cent of the games. If he was fit he was selected for the national team.

"He has got all the qualities, but when Bobby was not there we had a problem up front and that is why we changed it and now we have Bryan Ruiz and Hugo Rodallega and Dimitar Berbatov and most of the time they are fit to select.

"Don't forget Bobby wanted that move and at the time we had (Pavel) Pogrebnyak who scored six goals in five games, so everybody was happy. Bobby was happy with his move and we were happy with Pogrebnyak."
