NUFC eye up QPR's playmaker Adel Taarabt NEWCASTLE UNITED are understood to be monitoring the situation surrounding Queens Park Rangers playmaker Adel Taarabt. Toon boss Alan Pardew is thought to be an admirer of the Morocco international and the 22-year-old is clearly unsettled at Loftus Road with Neil Warnock telling the player he can leave unless he is fully committed to Rangers. Taarabt stormed out of the dressing room during QPRâs 6-0 defeat at Fulham at half-time and the Chronicle understands that the ex-Tottenham player and Joey Barton do not see eye to eye. Barton was awarded the captaincy at QPR in place of Taarabt and the situation is shaping up for a Loftus Road exit in January. Taarabt said recently: âI want to leave QPR during the January transfer window.â And a source at the Shepherds Bush club told the Chronicle: âAll is not well for Adel at QPR. âHeâs not happy at the moment and leaving in January could be a serious option for him. âHe knows where he is not welcome and it could be time for pastures new.â Taarabtâs contract at QPR has less than two seasons to run and Warnock says that any âfair offerâ would have to be considered. Taarabt is thought to be rated at £7million by Rangers and with the London club set to bring in some more big- name signings in January under new supremo Tony Hernandez, some book balancing is certain to be on the agenda. Taarabt earns around £25,000 a week at QPR and will be looking for an improvement on his current deal. iReader http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newc...-qpr-s-playmaker-adel-taarabt-72703-29627708/
Have this feeling that some club, not necessarily Newcastle, will take him on and provide the money, tactics teammates and personnel that will see him flourish and we'll be left wondering why he didn't do that for us.
Taarabt - QPR to Newcastle Barton - Newcastle to QPR Good business by Newcastle on both counts. Terrible for us.
Will Newky pay him silly money? I doubt it, more likely he'll end up at PSG or one of the other French clubs, don't really see Real Madrid being interested unless he has a stellar couple of months.
Can't see this happening, he hasn't proved himself in the prem. I am surprised how long it's taken for Tarbs and Barton to have a row though, just hope Barton has given up cigars!!!
i know this might be me being bloody stupid, but, wasn't Tarrabt after a similar contract to that of Barton and SWP in terms of wages? The Newcastle story was bubbling about 12 months ago, and nothing happened then. The bloke in charge of newcastle according to what I have read somewere doesn't want to spend any money....so how the fook are they going to get him up there? This to me is just a fantasy story cooked up by Adel's agent is a rouse to get him more cash. NUFC let's see the colour of your Nolan & Carroll cash.
