I agree. I do hope he can return to the fold and share the team spirit and desire that seems in abundance at the moment.
I think he can, I also think he can win some fans back on his side who resent him going to Fulham,Adel felt that he did not fancy playing in the 2nd tier and who can blame him? He did everything to get us out of that level and through no fault of his own the club went through a bad spell. We can now offer him top flight football again and I hope he takes it with both hands.
We can live without him quite easily. What did he achieve when he played in the PL for us or Foolham?
Both clubs were having an indifferent time,premier League football is a very difficult league at the best of times.
The best players get the biggest recognition,would have been the same if all this media was available when Stan Bowles & rodney Marsh were around.
My only reservation with all this is that I'd have to re-write my tribute to him on my blog, I was sure that he wasn't coming back. I guess for Adel I'd make that sacrifice.
Rodney and Stan produced the goods on the pitch regularly. Stan was often in the papers about his wild lifestyle off the pitch (more than Adel), when the fat, unfit Moroccan with the bad attitude produces regularly and his attitude improves he'll be welcomed back by me and not before.
Some do, some don't. I think it was Sku who put up a picture from twitter of a pot of Marmite with Taarabt on the label. Spot on. By the way, I still sing Taarabt's song, as the good people who live between my local railway station and my home can verify.
The man is Moroccan,has different emotions and way of life to English people,he is what he is,he may chill out a bit as he gets older but Im pleased Ive had the benefit of seeing him win football matches on his own.
Who's fault will it be when he starts behaving like an A1 tosser again - on and off the pitch? No doubt it will be Harry's because he didn't play him in every match, didn't create a team around him, make the other 10 work 10% harder to cover for him, didn't turn a blind eye when he didn't turn up to training or arrived an hour late, didn't praise him even when he played badly, didn't give him the captaincy ... ya-de-dah-de-dah.
