Taarabt not included in squad in Germany

Or (d) .... he has refused to go.

or (e) .... his (insert type of family member) has died and he is heading off to the funeral.

or (f) .... he managed to injure himself in 50 minutes or so of training.

 

or (G) none of us have the foggiest what is actually going on with Taarabt and rather than speculate and get ourselves into a frenzy, we should wait till things become apparent.

 

You must admit though that this board would be very quiet if there was no speculation.

 

I think its safe to say we've seen the last of him. Which means yet another player has to be bought in to replace him.

 

He hasn't been near the team for a year...not really "replacing" him is it

 

OR: but he has found out no-one wants him.

Well I had my hopes up that we'd finally seen the back of him but back he lands, hanging around like a bad smell. Surely there must be some mug of a Club out there that'll take him off our hands?

 

If Taarabt was never going to even get considered, I'd have preferred it if he'd have been kept away from the squad.

I was all excited for a bit too.

I blame the manager.

 

I just can't wait until we can put the Taarabt discussion to bed

Agree with Swords though, which club would take him?

 

Maybe considered too unfit to play and needs extra one to one sessions to get fitness levels up to a standard he won't injure himself before a- is sold or b- given a run out during pre-season. No point taking a player who is unfit as he wouldn't get game time.

 

Some people were including him in the squad when they stated we only needed 4 or 5 signings which is now 3 or 4.

Look at our Germany squad. Take out O'Neill and collision and add Yun and Cesar and thats the current state of our squad.

 

Well I think you could name a pretty reasonable starting eleven from that squad.

It may be short in depth, but then the same applies to all the bottom half of the Premier clubs. It is also similar in personnel to those that played against the Turkish & Italian sides last season.

Looking forward to seeing how Ale & Frankie Sutherland are progressing, & hopefully we will see Michael Petrasso as well.

 

TF said about 5. With 1 we are on track except with the 1 BIG exception that we have already repeated the BIG mistake of before.

 

I agree.

Hasn't taken the journos long to put two and two together...

When SWP goes and not Adel, surely it must have sunk in to his thick skull by now.

One of our greatest players that never was...... What a F-ing waste!

Get rid now. We've had our moneys worth and he's taken the piss for too long.

Harry doesnt want him and he doesnt want to be with us, Lets put this to bed for once and all, all concentrate on developing a TEAM ethic and group that will fight for each other and the badge.!
FYI - I dont really want barton there either as I despise the man, but, even though he know that he has put 100% effort in all the time and I cant fault him for that.
if only AT had that attitude, most of us would gladly back him....

Anyway, sorry, Im not starting this up again

 

Unless of course he's at home on a bespoke training programme due to Ramadan

 

What time is the game on tonight in the UK? How many hours is Germany ahead?

 

I can only guess that there are a few top clubs in for him

Good luck to him as he is far too good to play in a Harry Redknapp team

 

Maybe he's fasting for Ramadan. I'm clutching at straws.
