Former QPR and Tottenham flop Adel Taarabt set for sensational return to AC Milan By talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) | Friday, January 22, 2016 please log in to view this image Former QPR and Tottenham flop Adel Taarabt is closing in on a sensational return to AC Milan. The attacking midfielder is currently training with Benfica's reserves after falling out of favour at the Portuguese club. The Morocco international is understandably itching for a move away this month as he searches for first-team football. And now, according to O Jogo, Milan are ready to come to Taarabt's rescue by snapping him up. The 26-year-old spent six months on loan at the San Siro in 2014 and impressed with four goals in 16 appearances. That spell has not been forgotten and Milan are willing to give Taarabt a lifeline by signing him on loan until the end of the season.

Let's see if he can pass the medical first, cue the men in white coats. Does AT hold the record on this site for the most threads about him?
They used to be Champions of Europe, one of THE greatest sides I've ever seen, how the mighty have fallen...
The article is right; it literally is a rescue. He deserves no more attention from any football club in any league until he can rejoin reality and start looking after himself as an adult human being and as a footballer.
Actually thinking about it - we haven't had a Ravel Morrison thread for a couple of weeks. Now that really is a waste of effort on our part.
I'm sure there's some kind of word to describe the feelings of many on here towards Adel. Perhaps it's a syndrome of some type "spurned lover complex" or something, where you go out of your way to run down someone you used to love but who couldn't care less about you. Thick and daft but even fat and unfit he's still head and shoulders better than anyone in QPRs squad.
But that is exactly the problem. He is so talented, but cant be arsed to put in the effort to get himself fit, in order to display his unquestioned abilities.
A better analogy would be how Einstein's parents would feel if he'd declared that he'd come up with a theory of space-time that would revolutionise our understanding of the universe but opted to spend four years in an opium den instead of writing up his notes. The longer that passes, the more you fear it isn't just a phase he'll grow out of. Adel will undoubtedly still be more skillful and entertaining than anything we have in our squad but that same comment could be levelled at most of the Prem squads too. Unless he is match fit though, I doubt he'd have had a hand in more goals than twinkle toes Polter recently. As always, I'd love to see him play and do so to somewhere near his talent for anyone because he is a pleasure to watch but he couldn't find motivation to bother in Benfica and I doubt he will anywhere else. Thanks Stan, you got me commenting seriously on one of these bloody Adel threads when I just posted a few flippant words before to hopefully raise a smile or two.
