Adel Taarabt Gone!

[Star of David Bardsley]

I'm just celebrating that this will be the last ever !!! Adel Thread - whoopee

Except it definitely won't be.

 

[Ciarrai_Abu]

I think he has engineered this.. No club seems willing to pay any fee for him and he has made it clear he doesnt want to play for us. If he is on £20k pw then its a million saved. Only one person to blame for this and that is Adel.
He epitomizes everything that is wrong in football. Before anyone starts i am not an Adel hater just calling it how I see it

Spot on, that's how I see it as well.

 

[rangercol]

Thanks for the fantastic memories Adel.
As Norway said, it will be a while before I feel that same excitement upon hearing his name on the team sheet.

I truly hope he gets his attitude sorted out and shows everyone just what a talent he is.

Good luck Adel!!

 

[Ciarrai_Abu]

Two things shock me about this:
1, Ellers reads the Daily Mail
2. The new regime at QPR can find no way to turn a profit from a player for whom a top European club are willing to give a 5 year contract.

He must have indicated that he was prepared to sit out the last year of his contract. For the sake of the million, I would have put him on gardening leave.

 

[UTRs]

Thanks Adel and all the best!

Glad this sorry saga has come to an end now whatever the reasons were for his absence on the pitch

 

[Swords Hoopster.]

Thought I'd never see the day. A day of celebration for QPR now that we're rid of this constant poison that has plagued the Club for last 4 years and disgraced the badge we all purport to hold dear with his conduct.

The biggest regret is that this could all have been avoided. Once we won promotion it was painfully obvious he wouldn't be able for the Premier League for anyone with a pair of eyes in their head. Our long vanquished friend Queens said to me near the end of that season "mate, we have to get rid of him now". We didn't and we suffered the consequences. Only a handful of games into the following season & he stuck two fingers up at the Manager & threw a strop forcing COLIN to dump him. The pandering to him could not work at this level like it did in the Mickey Mouse one we just left. It was the big boys league now. Every Manager that came in after that came to the same conclusion as did the Fulham one. This last season was the most despicable of all but thankfully its ended in our deliverance.

Never said this about a player before but I really hope he goes on to have a car crash career & ends up thinking what might have been. A total waster who set the tone for our subsequent horrid signings and who will go down among many fans as the worst we've ever had.

Don't let the door hit your fat arse on the way out asshole

Thought he did quite well in the first season up, at least under Hughes, and at the start.

That's the thing, Watford. He could have been a superstar. he showed us all what was possible. The fact that he then became so apathetic is a disgrace. So much so that I'm thinking of digging out the old "was SWP our worst signing" thread and changing my vote. Boswinga was never going to be anything but an utter twat for us. Adel could have been the opposite, but chose not to bother.

I'm not saying he wasn't a disgrace. Just think it's wrong to say he was never good for us in the Prem, as Swords and others have alluded to.

 

[Chaz]

Three good games in three seasons really doesn't amount to anything worth mentioning...

 

[Swords Hoopster.]

That's what can happen when people's memories go fuzzy. He was only around at the very start and the end. Fat lot of good he was to us for the huge chunk in the middle when he stuck two fingers up at the Club. A number of shocking incidents occurred, the most notorious one being the bus thing at Fulham. There were many others that people have forgotten during that first season including slagging the Club off to a foreign reporter.

I'll never understand how QPR supporters took so much sh*t from someone disrespecting their Club on a weekly basis. Short of walking onto the LR pitch at 14:55 on a Saturday afternoon, pulling down his pants in front of the crowd and shi*ting on the Rangers jersey, he couldn't have degraded QPR any more.

(Besides he was a woefully poor PL player for us when he did play)

Except he wasn't always because he had plenty of good games for us in the PL.

 

[Peter Damage]

OK, let me dumb it down for you - seems that's your level.

Adel wasted his time with dreams of a big money move to Italy. He didn't train, he didn't eat properly, he couldn't be bothered. He believed he was far better than the players around him, but he rarely, if ever, showed that.. And not just with us - his international career was ended because he believed his own press clippings. And yet he happily sat for selfies and shook hands with any fan who would idolise him.

HE is the stereotypical fancy-dan.

On the other hand, players like Charlie Austin, OBZ, Jamie Mackie, Alan McDonald, even Joey Barton - when they crossed the line, they put in 100%. It may not have been as pretty with some of them, but it was far more effective, and far more available. Some games we won, some we lost, but it wasn't through lack of effort or application, nor was it through a surfeit of pies or pipe-dreams. And if they had shunned fans, we would not have minded, because they played for the shirt, not for their ego.

OK?

Try twisting THAT round.

Ok smarty pants. It's just a shame with your high level intelligence that you aren't able to deal with any level of complexity and its all so black and white.

The point is that you need a balance. Neymar and a Busquets, Le Tissier and Francis Benali, Adel and Derry!

To be successful. Team full of grunts get you know where. Team full of 'fancy dans' ( revealing you use a derogatory phrase) also gets you no where

 

[Peter Damage]

Three good games in three seasons really doesn't amount to anything worth mentioning...

Surely even if you take his time at AC Milan out of it you don't seriously believe that smarty pants?

We can all dig up pass stats about 2nd to Suarez in chance creation that season after promotion. Also I think your three games comment is more about single handed match winning performances rather than 'good games', and even that is way off the mark

 

[Swords Hoopster.]

Except he wasn't always because he had plenty of good games for us in the PL.

No he hadn't. You could count them on one hand.

Put it this way, Jamie phukking Mackie - a guy with about as much footballing skill as me - had more good PL games than he had bad ones. Taarabt with about 20 times the skill had a handful of good games and 90% of disinterested, unfit, show-pony sh*te. And that's forgetting the whole sideshow he created about himself off the field, distracting the focus and making it more difficult for those who wanted to play for QPR.

 

[Shawswood]

Read somewhere that it was £3m, £65k per week??!!

Mmmm....now there's food for thought eh Swordsie?

Who's changing their mind now? When we DID play Taarabt this season, it was the same as just playing 10 men - he couldn't be arsed, and did nothing. I'm delighted he's gone.

Oh, one more thing - I apologise for using the term 'fancy dan' if you think that's derogatory. In any case, "fat lazy bastard" is probably more accurate, so let's use that instead...

Believe what you want. I saw almost all Taarabt's Premier League games and you could definitely not count then all on one hand unless you're from the West of Ireland.

You don't have 1% of the ability of Jamie Mackie.

Name the Premier league games he was pivotal in us winning.
