http://www.bbc.co.uk --- He was getting his pie eating action warmed up. Adel Taarabt is three stone overweight and unfit to play for Queens Park Rangers, claims manager Harry Redknapp. "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." Redknapp, 67, added: "He played in a reserve game the other day and I could have run about more than he did. I can't pick him. "What am I supposed to keep saying? Keep getting your £60,000, £70,000 a week and don't train? What's the game coming to? "I pick people who want to try, who deserve to be at a good football club like QPR, who come in every day and want to work, train and show a good attitude. When he starts doing that, if he ever can do it, maybe he'll get a game." Taarabt returned to Loftus Road in the summer after loan spells at Fulham and Italian giants AC Milan last season.
I don't get what Harry's game is here. He's created a situation where a player won't want to play for him again but at the same time made it impossible to offload him to another club, so essentially he is saying 'Keep getting your £60,000, £70,000 a week and don't train'. . Top management there!
It's not surprising he's putting on weight, his work out wasn't very vigorous... [video=youtube;8exVcUTaFtA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8exVcUTaFtA[/video]
I was watching the Harry press conference on Sky News with the sound off and subtitles on, I did chuckle when Adel Taarabt came up on the subtitles as 'Adult Rat'!!!! Only matched on the laff-o-meter by Gylfi Sigurdsson who came up as 'Guilty Cigarette'
This was taken 2 months ago. Looks to be a couple of stone heavy. [video=youtube;eifCeGtzQRY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eifCeGtzQRY[/video]
IF he's 3 stone overweight and IF he is refusing to run and IF he's therefore not fit to play football, can someone explain to me why DQPR can't suspend him for each week this continues and eventually sack him if it doesnt change? If I turned up for work not fit, through choice, to do the very job I was employed for I would be suspended without pay. How is football any different?
Harry's game is the same it always is. That being that he opens his gob with an aim to get his face out there as he is a media whore. He is also using this as a dictraction for the god awful job he is doing.
And this video (scroll down) was released by the official DQPR website ONE DAY before the loveable 'Arry's outburst. http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/280957-Taarabt-lambasted-by-furious-QPR-boss/page2 Now I'm no Adonis but he doesnt look 3 stone overweight to me nor does he look like someone not trying. Harry couldnt possibly be looking for an escaped goat to excuse his f**ing woeful management could he?
Surely withis player being under contract, part of the terms of the contract are that he should be fit and train. If hes 3 stone overweight then he is in breach and should be sacked.
His contract clearly does not give the club the right to do that. If it did they would clearly do what you suggest. The difference between you and him(if you have a union and a contract) is the wording of your contracts.
Oh 'Arry, did you really think people would just swallow your comments and not actually look for evidence? It's also interesting that Adel criticises Redknapp's training in exactly the same way Van Der Vaart did, who said it was the worst he had ever experienced. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...rweight-stop-turning-qpr-fans-against-me.html Dead man walking.
Well I seem to remember "Arry" saying after that court case that he was not the brightest, well I think this proves it.
