Why wouldn't Harry be telling the truth ?? Taarabt's attitude when he was at Tottenham was appalling and it doesn't seem to he any better at your club. I thought the interview showed the real Redknapp - a man who still retains a huge passion for being involved in the game and a total disregard for the modern day prima Donna footballer which is Taarabt Well said Harry, it's about time some of these wasters ate exposed for what they are - lazy and greedy bastards. We have one at Spurs, Vertonghen.
And isn't there a video of him on another thread lookin a active in training last week according to comment. Can't open the vid myself.
Adel Taarabt is three stone overweight and unfit to play for Queens Park Rangers, claims manager Harry Redknapp. The Moroccan midfielder has not started for QPR since 27 August and was not in the squad for his side's 3-2 Premier League defeat by Liverpool. "I can't protect people who don't want to run and train, and are about three stone overweight," said Redknapp. "Taarabt is not injured. He's not fit. He's not fit to play football unfortunately."
This only a day after the club release this official video....... [video=youtube;2Nqkj32k8pg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nqkj32k8pg[/video]
Oh give it a rest will ya. Thats the end of adel now and he better start kissing the Fulham badge (again) or Milan badge (again) or......you get the point. He's to good for us and will end up with ainsworth at wycombe if he's lucky We've paid this pr##k 60-70K a week for the past 3 years and WHAT exactly has he done for us? time for some to open your eyes i think..as for DT- i cant be bothered. I think Zamora has scored more in the past couple of years hasnt he? New Zidane my arse. HR has just proved a lot of people wrong...
Sorry Queens, I don't think he's too good for us ................... he's just to fat for us. I still cannott fathom how or why we must continue to pay his wages. He's not keeping up his end of the bargain ............... surely we ( the club ) have a legitimate case to withhold his wages until he meets the standard criteria.
Bang on the nail!! Which of us, in any of the many jobs we are in, could not turn up to work, not do what we are paid to do, go home early because we don't like our line managers decisions and expect to keep our jobs?. Not one of us!! Despite even UK employment laws which heavily favour the employee, I would certainly have my contract terminated in a heart beat. There is some sort of unwritten back story here as yet untold.
He doesn't look 3 stone overweight in that video. There's something else going on here. I'm sure Taarabt isn't helping the situation though!
Wake up lads Harold in a mood because we lost then gets asked about Taarabt as the general press and public are beginning to question the needle Harold flashed right on cue Three stone overweight And Taarabt has said what? Get your fact right before you assume anything So queens has him now as the Bosingwa Play him you stubbon fool
I estimate Harold wants Taarabt to weight in at 9 stone 6 oz in order to play ... He also stuck him on the bench against West Ham and when he came on looked the best player on the pitch Harold again has shown himself up Taarabt deserves a full public apology IMO I can't wait to see this idiot away from our club. Unforgivable IMO what he has done to this player in an attempt to deflect away his own failings I am willing to bet any other manager would get the best out of our number 10 If I was Tony Crooks or Garth Fendandes the I would double his money to keep him
Sorry guys I don't normally contribute but I just had to get this off my chest Aside for the season we went up Adel, has NOT lived up to the hype at all. He played in fits and bursts in the two seasons we were up and last season went on to BETTER his career only to end up back at QPR. It didn't work out for him at Fulham (did'nt they send him back from his season long loan), and Milan never followed up on him this season. If he was as good as everyone thinks then he would have had the big money move by now. I think Harry went a 'bit' OTT with the 3 stone jibe, but surely the blame lies with Adel. If he wants away then F....g prove it on the pitch and get your big money move. He' thinks he's the best there is...in his own tiny mind....imo Personally I think yesterday was probably the best game I've seen Rangers play in the last 3 years, without Adel...I firmly believe we do not need him !! Just my Opinion !
Sorry mate, there is no way Harry or anyone else deserves to apologies to Adel. Not only the club, the management and we the fans have had to put up with his complete lack of professionalism, season after season. This is not a one off hissy fit. Everybody has turned a blind eye for ever and a day. .......... and why? Cause we all keep giving Adel 100 'last chances' to turn it around ............ but he won't. Yes, Harold may have decided to vent his frustration of losing the game on Adel and his pitiful attempts to get fit and tow the line, but hey ........... I would too be pulling my hair out if l had a better than average player doing squat to help the club, yet still getting paid. Truth is, Adel has had way too many chances to come good. He should be sacked and we the fans, whether we loved him or not, should think poorly of him cause he has no desire to appease us or the club. He can't even help himself. End of story.
I believe Harry was wrong to make his statements publicly. Nonetheless, it was heart warming to see a bit of passion from Harry, which at least seemed to show that he cares. I'm a Taarabt fan, but the passage of time, the wasted millions in wages and apparently unalterable childlike, pisspoor attitude he displays to his profession and club, have rather eroded the love. Sad to say, that I think the boy really should move on. In time, we will that way probably remember the best of him, as opposed to the petulant, sulking, self-indulgent pillock he can be.
Yes he bloody does this sort of thing should be dealt with in house behind closed doors NOT PLAYED OUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE TO INFLUENCE OUR FANS TO HATE ANY PLAYER … AND MAKE HIMSELF LOOK GOOD ITS NEVER HIS FAULT HE IS A ****ING MUPPET DINSOSAUR. 8 GAMES IN 4 POINTS FROM 24 AND PURCHASED A SET OF PLAYERS WHO ARE UNFIT OR WRITING BOOKS … ITS A BLOODY DISGRACE AND BECAUSE WE PLAYED NORMALLY HAROLD GETS PRAISE!!!!! GOOD GOD WE LOST ANOTHER GAME BY SCORING 4 OF THE GOALS IN A 5 GOAL GAME… GET REAL SOME OF YOU AND SEE WHAT THIS PRATT IS DOING TO YOU AND OUR CLUB. IT'S NEVER HIS FAULT … WELL STAND UP YOU TIT AND TELL FER TO PLAY THE BALL INTO THE CORNERS … JUST KEEP THE BALL HE DIDN'T EVEN INSTRUCT THAT TO HIS PLAYERS AND LOST US THE GAME. THEN HE BLAMES THEM I am fuming that people can even eat this sort of stuff up and believe it. But that's your opinions and i respect then all
Watch the interview...Arry was fustrated at the match (obviously) and he was pushed by the reporter (just like Monk was over Moses)...both lost their cool And yes...it showed he cared....lets concentrate on the 14 players on the pitch yesterday...everyone played for the shirt.... OK he was exaggerating about 3 stone over weight....but look at the video...he is def overweight by about a stone.....could he have run for 90 minutes like Henry and Yun and even Fer did...no!! He came on at WSpam and had a couple of runs, but lost the ball twice...He came on when the team was already beaten...get real. We only ended up with one optional sub yesterday (Ned and Sandro went of injured)...our optional sub of Vargas nearly won us the game He is not the messiah...he's a very naughty boy!
