Ok lads, I may have misinterpreted, but I still found it a sad image. I'm just a big softy at heart. He didn't seem to be doing much fitness work though. Was that Cesar with him for a bit?
If that's what fitness training really looks like ( a few keepy uppies) then no wonder we seem to struggle playing as a team for 90 mins. I train harder for five-a-side footy.
I love Clint but this club captain thing!.......... and HR says he will possibly pick a different Captain every week if Clint does not play (which is likely). What are we Under 11s....................
I do agree that the whole "we made him train on his own" is a bit like sending a kid to stand in a corner or sit on a naughty step and does seem infantile at best. However, footballers are a strange breed, the majority have missed out on having to grow up as they have gone straight from their teens into a job where they get paid too much money and have freedom to do what they want, save for a few hours training every day and playing a match once or twice a week. Is it much of a surprise that managers and clubs, sick of toys being thrown at them and dummies spat at them have enough of it and end up having to treat players as the oversized baby men they've become?? Sod Steve Black and Glen Hoddle, Harry and Adel need a visit from Supernanny to see if they can finally get the best out of him!
I am certainly not defending Taarabt & I do believe the gist of the comment by HR. However, being pedantic, what is quoted above is not entirely true. He has been filmed on at least two occasions training, so not having trained this pre season is an exageration (perhaps only slightly). What I don't understand, is why he took him to Ireland if he wasn't training?
Aw Jim, yes all quite reasonable. The numerous posters, some very sick of Adel, are lying about watching him train and do extra training afterwards. The film of him training, yes I fixed that here in the local photo shop. And I commute 10 000 klicks every day to watch us train, of course! And what Arry says is Gospel. Adel hasn't been on the føkkin train, no he takes the bus, remember? And as the Gospel says Arry loves the lad. That little clip of Adel training by himself on here now must be his brother. And I'm not really Oslo and I suppose you're not Jim. So who do you fancy as our No 10 this season then ? I gather the lad who has starred for Milan but isn't quite Norman føkkin normal enough English roast biff is not quite your right sort at QPR. And ah he must be so hard for poor old Arry to handle Jim. My blg problem is I don't see another No 10 at our training sessions but hope but doubt Arry will pull am Adel out of his At.
