hopefully no jokes about sinking ships... but this is from the offish...
West Ham United can confirm that striker Modibo Maiga has joined Sky Bet Championship side Queens Park Rangers on loan for the remainder of the 2013/14 season.
The deal includes the option of a permanent move to west London at the end of the season.
Maiga, 26, has scored once in 14 Barclays Premier League games this term and has not featured since Andy Carroll's return to fitness earlier this month.
The Mali international joined the Hammers in the summer of 2012 from French Ligue Un club Sochaux, having previously played for Stade Malien in his homeland, Raja Casablanca in Morocco and Le Havre after moving to France.
He has played 39 games for the Club, finding the net six times in total, with half of those goals coming in Capital One Cup fixtures - including memorably in the Hammers' 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur in December.
The Club can also confirm that Razvan Rat has departed after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
The Romanian left-back leaves the Boleyn Ground after making 20 appearances for the Hammers since joining on a free transfer in July 2013.
The Club would like to thank Razvan for his efforts and wish him all the best in his future career.

Did Tats do something bad? I mean he wasn't the greatest... but that hardly makes him worthy of being singled out in this current line-up.
With our injury record... how come we let a fit defender leave?
Maiga I feel a little bit sad about too... again, he's not the greatest... but then if that was our criteria about 90% of the team could be shipped out.
