    I echo that he is the best I have seen in a QPR shirt and have seen them all ... Game was different the legends couldn't play today and Taarabt would of had his legs broken back then

    Because none of them had anywhere near as much talent as Adel, and then went and let that talent waste away......

    For me in my lifetime only Stan was better.

    Lot of truth in that, and agree in full with all you say about Adel.

    But can't quite see how SWP could be hated more on here than he already is, though for me he's just done what most would have done, and just taken the money he was contractually entitled to. He started quite well with us too, but totally lost in about 6 months, whatever self-confidence he had when he came to us.

    So why the hatred. In the last 20 years would be extremely difficult to pick in any more than a handful of debatable alternatives that have done more for this club than him

    Personally, I don't hate him, but feel very let down by his attitude over the last few seasons, and disappointed that he never let his true talent do the talking for him. There's always going to be some supporters who are more vitriolic in their love of certain players, and this then manifests itself onto the other side of the coin when they let the team down.

    I'm glad he's going, it's time the club and us fans moved on from Adel and found a new hero to worship. He was a joy to watch in our Championship season, but for whatever reason has not recreated that since - goodbye Adel, it was nice while it lasted!

    Stan will always be my personal hero, but Adel was the best I've seen at the R's.

    I don't think I've ever know a player to be so divisive amongst QPR fans. Personally I'm as glad to see the back of him as I was SWP.
    I'm in the fortunate position to have seen many better players than him pull on the hoops.

    Not the best for me, but certainly one of the best. A great shame that he wasn't managed better.

    Do you think it was bad man management or was just hell bent on self destruction?

    Can't have been many better than Adel in the Championship season.

    Just my opinion of course, Marsh, Bowles, Wegerle, Byrne, Givens, Thomas, Venebles to name but a few.

    He had the misfortune to be 'managed' by Redknapp twice.

    You may well be right, something went badly wrong that's for sure as he had the talent without doubt.

    I noted that too, one game in particular after he scored a sublime goal that left Warnock & Curle shaking their heads in admiration. Might have been v Swansea in that 4-1 win?

    Perhaps they also shared some common interests?

    Wegerle was a plastic marsh. Lived off that goal at Leeds for years. Byrne too slow. Givens was great getting us into Div 1 but then used to bottle chances - you know never run into a position where he could score. Thomas was thick and predictable as soon as sexton went he was useless. Venables was yards too slow.

    Rangers were a one man team with Rodney and he was the best I have seen. Stan was great too, but he did play in a good rangers team.

    Adel was something special and I am pretty sure he was voted best championship player that year we went up. He did struggle in the prem and when Tony started throwing his money about Neil got all star struck and put Barton and SWP on a pedestal and kind of marginalised Adel... And it all want downhill from there.

    I had the privilege of seeing both Rod and Stan play......Adel doesn't come close imo.

    Adel in the championship winning season was sublime. The most skilful player I've ever seen in the hoops.
