Apologies I posted on another thread how i would play him. He needs a completely unrestricted role to create goals that is it Taking the current team I would play ………………………..McCathy………………………. …….Onunha …… Ferdinand ….. Caulker… Isla………………....Henry……………………Yun ….………..Sandro………… Taarabt…………….. …………...Zamora ……………Vargas…………. Vargas playing in front of Yun defensively . Henry just sits and fills in any gaps, Sandro completes the defensive wall when we are without the ball Taarabt/Vargas combo would be great iMO … both can break at great speed Fer shouldn't be playing automatically at the moment his decision making is poor
I didn't mean it in a tactical sense. At the end of the day no one can put their hand inside Adel's head and flick a switch to stop him being a prize p***k. Only Adel can do that and how long do we give him considering he's never shown any ability or compunction to sort his own head out. Add to that the bad feeling he creates (and he was doing that long before Harry arrived. And I'm not a lover of Harry) and it adds up to me wanting him gone personally.
Also I might add that Neil Wornock seemed to be the only one to really get anything out of Adel and he did that by pandering to him. Now has being pandered to done Adel any favours in he long run? It seems to have just inflated his ego and compounded the original problem.
Both Redknapp and Taarabt have been out of order, as all this should have remained in-house. But surely it's down to Redknapp to manage the situation and the player? Redknapp used the fact that Taarabt stormed out after not being picked as an excuse to have a go at him. This in itself is ridiculous. Players at all levels and all ages react in a pissed off way when they're not picked. My lad plays at a decent youth level and gave the coach a "FFS" when he didn't start a while back. He was bollocked for it in the dressing room, but the coach later congratulated him for caring. Nearly all coaches want to see that a player is pissed off when not picked. Taarabt shouldn't have stormed out but, really, it happens all the time. Fernandes needs to put a stop to all this now.
I agree that Adel Taarabt is a prize prick off the pitch but I honestly focus on the football he produces. I do not accept that he is root cause of any unrest amongst the playing staff. We have Barton on the books, We have Rio on the books both of which lead far worse public lives away from the pitch than Taarabt does … yet some how we are at a place where Fans have turned against him I repeat i am only interested in watching him play football. Barton who i have slagged in the past is not a QPR player I want to watch because he offers nothing apart from running and a little aggression here and there I make this comparison because I stress its about footballing matters only IMO
He did tbf, but it was all part of the "Five-Year Plan". The clock was ticking so he set an entire team up to serve him and it worked for that season in the NPC. It fell apart when we got promoted and Taarabt made it clear he thought he should have been playing anywhere but Loftus Road. Blame for our current plight, in order, Teflon Tone "the fighter Fernandes" Fernandes, Barton, Briatore/Ecclestone and, a long way behind, Taarabt. A perfect storm.
As requested Col TF has, press release just now! http://qprng.rs/scmf/OrMCe04Lcp0lOD...mQrNHe2Q1Z50mD8uMS0Y7gG3JTiEN9S0TZ0lOA/JYNnrD
"and confirm that the issue has been dealt with internally." Dealt with how though, that's the question? Sounds like they've both had their knuckles rapped.
I love Adel. And would be great to see him as a regular again. BUT......I'm with Harry on this. He just said what we are all thinking. I mean, what a piss take to earn that sort of dollar and be in an amazingly privileged position, but still not get yourself sorted out. Bottom line he is not fit to perform his job. Footballers shouldn't be exempt. We can't hang Harry out for this incident - it's a corrupt and moral-less sport anyways. Quite funny to be fair....
"On behalf of the club, I would like to apologise to the QPR supporters for the embarrassment this has caused and confirm that the issue has been dealt with internally." Thank you, it's all I've been asking for. Reading between the lines, "both have behaved like complete ****ers".
Precisely this. I hope he capped it off with ".....if I see or hear one more public comment from either of you that is potentially going to bring our club's reputation in to disrepute, I will have no hesitation in firing either one or both of you............now just grow up and concentrate your efforts on getting us up the league, which is what I pay you both to do"
I only wish in these desperate times for our club that all parties involved here would conduct their fighting on the field of play.
Let's wait and see how Harold handles the whole thing now He is just as likely to pick him with his ego to try and swing opinion Love it if did and Taarabt who was only reacting to Harold's rubbish albeit incorrectly ... Then wins us a game Someone has to stand up to this idiot Come on Adel This is your chance boy
But to only be interested in watching him play doesn't matter. You can only watch him play if he's in the team. As you said he's a numpty and a half and that's what's been keeping him out the team under several different managers. It comes back to the horses to water point. If he can't get himself up to train, how can he expect to play. I don't think it matters what any ones profile is. It's about team dynamics. First rule of any team and this could be professional sports teams to an Army section or work team of any kind. You have to all be singing from the same hymn sheet. I don't think Adel has ever done that. I don't think he's ego can cope with it. Also, to go back to the horses quotes, how long do you flog a dead horse.
I agree with the first half about Adel, not so sure about your blame list. I think Mark Hughes should be top of the list for a start.
