    But we do - you cannot compare him to Dyer who has been a model professional since making one mistake as a kid. Taraabt has a history of going absent in games and having hystrionics that disrupt dressing rooms, including at international level. It's more than one incident and he subtracts more than he adds to a team imo.

    Some - not 'a lot' and it was quite obvious that the kid without connections got hung out by his better known mates after a the event. A stupid immature act rather than an out and out criminal act (not that the young lady who owned the handbag would agree) that will follow him all his life.

    Taarabt has, from reports down the years, been trouble everywhere he's been and hasn't done that well in the PL.

    Ill take anyone with huge talent if its at a cut rate price , well except for Joey Barton . Sometimes reports we get are biased against players by clubs wanting things to appear in a certain light for theyre own good. If Taarabt 's price was super cheap , Id take him in a heart beat .Might very well turn out to be a perfect match .

    Sorry but I don't follow that logic. How can a player who has caused problems at every club he's been at be a perfect match for Swansea City? Monk won't fancy him and rightly so.

    . For every action there is a reaction , maybe the clubs themselves were causing the problems and the player is reacting to it , seen it many times . Like I say though , only if it was a super deal , we maybe just what he needs to get back on track. Even Routledge had a less than great relationships with past teams ...but look at him now

    Breezy, we're trying to rebuild harmony in the squad again, not split it apart. We won't touch him with a barge-pole.

    Yes, he has moments of brilliance but these are heavily outweighed by his temperament.

    Sorry but you're comparing two players in Routledge and Dyer that have behaved professionally for many years with a guy who not only has a history of club-hopping but causing problems. He's done it internationally for Morocco too. But you say that all these clubs could be the problem, not him?

    Don't buy it.... and neither will Monk.

    We all have opinions , Id take him , cheap , no questions asked . You just know media reports on his "Antics " feed to the media by clubs, the real truth is only known by him and clubs past .Believe what you want but I think he would turn for the good by a club giving him a clean sheet and reap the rewards of a very " Gifted " player

    Well thankfully I suspect Monk disagrees with you.
