Queens Park Rangers have had a promising 2021 and will be hoping that they can end this season on a high note as they play their last set of fixtures after the international break.
The Hoops have certainly picked up since the turn of the year and will be looking to use this summer's transfer window just as well as they used last January's, with a number of good signings being made.
Certainly, fans will be hoping that level of recruitment can continue because, like any fanbase, they've also seen what can happen when signings go wrong.
Here, then, we're taking a look at nine of the signings at the club in the recent past that simply did not work out as anyone would have liked or expected.
Flop signings, see what you make of our list...
Samba Diakite kicks off our list.
Things started off relatively okay for him but it gradually became clear he was not going to be a part of QPR's long-term plans which, considering he signed for around £3m, was a bit of an issue.
Indeed, in the four years he was at the club on a permanent basis he made just 14 league appearances, with loan spells away not yielding much success either.
He was imposing at times in the middle of the pitch but also rash at other points and a lack of consistency never really helped his cause.
He is now playing for Al Tadhamon in Kuwait.
Federico Macheda will always be remembered fondly by Manchester United fans for a late goal against Aston Villa that helped them pip Liverpool to the league title in 2008/09.
Indeed, many would have naturally expected the striker to go on and have a fine career at the top level but after that moment we didn't see too much else, at least in the Premier League.
Even so, there was excitement he could kick on and improve at Queens Park Rangers when he arrived on loan - though that never happened.
He never made a league start for the Hoops and it was quickly apparent that he wouldn't be hanging around long in west London.
Stefan Moore arrived from Aston Villa in 2005 but it became clear that playing for the Villa Park club, unfortunately, didn't guarantee performances for the Hoops.
Sometimes these moves do not work and this was a prime example here.
Moore often looked off of the pace for the Hoops and ultimately fans got on his back when they had expected far more when he arrived.
He featured 39 times for Queens Park Rangers and hit the net just the three times during that spell.
Moore spent much of his career later on in non-league football where he enjoyed far more success in front of goal to be fair to him.
Tal Ben Haim had a fine spell at Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League and that sparked a move to Chelsea - though he never really forced his way into their team as they made the Champions League final in 2008.
Even so, he had some pedigree at the top level and so the hope would have been he would show that at QPR.
Ultimately, though, he fell well short. He featured just three times for the Hoops during his time there having joined in January 2013 and then been released at the end of the campaign.
Taye Taiwo was another defender that arrived with decent pedigree but simply did not cut the mustard when it came to it for Queens Park Rangers.
He was a powerful, quick full-back with many tipping him to be one of the better defenders in Europe in the years to come following his early performances but at QPR we didn't see enough of that - his best years were very much his early ones at Marseille.
Bursaspor, Helsinki and Lausanne all took him on at different times after his move away from W12.
Jason Puncheon was a decent player and had a good career at the top level but his move to QPR will be one he'll happily forget about.
He arrived on loan at the start of the 11/12 season but just could not get into the side and have an impact.
He headed back to Southampton in the January of that season having made just two appearances in the league for the club.
A good spell at Crystal Palace was still to come, though, whilst he is now playing football in Cyprus for Pafos.
