This is a guy who couldn't even report to pre-season training on time, nor during the season we went down. I'm so glad the club adopted the attitude of not caring who he is or what he's done, they have the most fortunate jobs in the world and Taarabt's attitude is a disgrace.
Expanding a bit on that Billy Goat, I realise I'm biased against Taarabt and players like him all because of their attitudes. Some of their good performances are lost on me because I can't get the attitude thing out of my mind. Even to this day, despite him possibly being the best player in the World, I find it very hard to compliment Cristiano Ronaldo. I just can't stand him. These players that are all about themselves and never the Club or fans, drive me up the wall. With the job and salaries they have I think its unforgivable to have such a selfish attitude. Totally unforgivable. I'd love our Club never to sign this type of player again. You are correct Billy, he is a disgrace.
Like it or not we still hold his registration. At the end of the season we'll be paying his wages if he doesnt find somewhere else. What a wasted talent.
Possible sub-let? AC Milan are keen on signing Adel Taarabt, say Fulham please log in to view this image http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25939582 Italian giants AC Milan are keen to sign Fulham's on-loan midfielder Adel Taarabt, according to the Cottagers' manager Rene Meulensteen. The 24-year-old QPR player is at the Premier League club on a season-long loan and could be involved in a loan swap deal with Milan's 32-year-old defender Cristian Zaccardo. "There has been some interest [in Taarabt] - that is all I know so far," said the Fulham manager. "I have no concrete news." Taarabt was not involved in Tuesday's 2-0 league defeat at Swansea. "We thought it would be a wise decision to not include him," the Dutch boss added. Morocco international Taarabt began his career at Lens before moving to Tottenham in 2007. During his three years at White Hart Lane he had two loan spells at QPR before joining the Loftus Road club in a permanent deal in August 2010. He helped the Hoops return to the Premier League in his first season, but could not prevent them from sliding back down at the end of the 2012-13 campaign. Fulham are also understood to be interested in signing Olympiakos striker Kostas Mitroglou, with a reported £11.5m offer made to the Greek club. "I can't really discuss [Mitroglou] at this time, because I need to have a chat with [Fulham chief executive] Alistair Mackintosh," added the Fulham manager. "He will know exactly what the situation is regarding the player."
I know members here have commented on Tarbs a million times but I just wanted to acknowledge 'Swords' comments here cause I, probably like most, feel exactly the same way. All the brilliance of a gifted player can be lost on a fan, if such a player talents are outdone by him being a w-an-ka ............... I'll go back into my corner now, content will my little outburst.
You can all the ability in the world, but if you dont apply yourself, the talent/ability will be wasted, and that perhaps is the greatest frustrations for a supporter. Watching huge talent being wasted. I really hope he can turn it around.
