Taarabt should HAVE NEVER BEEN our Golden Boy - Lost full respect

[West Mids QPR]

Honestly, some of the posters on this forum amaze me...

Paddy Kenny was actually partly right; tin pot club, tin pot fans at times.

Never happy, always slagging off, not understanding our No.10 heritage, not understanding how
talent/genius/creative people and players work...

Have some grace, class folks... Be grateful for those many amazing memories Adel has given us...

And compare his attitudes, with yours on these forums.

After four pages im diving in and I am in support of the West London is Rs (For the record I have not read the book)

Wont labour the point as I have had my say many times before but although there is not doubting Adels ability he lacks every other quality which is needed to be a top footballer in particular attitude, effort, bottle and probably most importantly professionalism. He's as guilty as the likes of Granero, Bosingwa etc of letting OUR club down.

He has alot of credit in the bank with fans because of one seasons efforts, for me personally he is out of credit as although grateful for what he done in our promotion season he has not done an awful lot since then and even his fans I am sure will hold there hands up to that.

Its alright fans coming on in this thread throwing up the Fulham as an example of a game he won but that is ONE game he contributed too out of 38 or 76 over two seasons, not even close to being good enough given the ability he has and how he is hero worshipped.

Yes football is about entertainment but at the end of the day its about winning that's the be all and end all if you get entertained as well as winning its a bonus. For me the last two seasons we have not been winning nor have I in the main be entertained by Adel

He has contributed to plenty more, people just seem to forget about them. Chelsea was one where he was unplayable throughout and showed his talent. Also, just because we didn't win, doesn't mean he didn't contribute, look at west ham or the first match against Stoke, the loss at villa, or the opener against Swansea. There have been plenty of times where team hasn't performed well and Taarabt has tried to make a difference and the team just hasn't helped him. People just seem to want to make a scapegoat for our failures out of him because he is a maverick.

In fairness he has but in two seasons you can count on one hand the games he has directly influenced I would say first season up arsenal, spurs at home last season Fulham home and Chelsea away (he was exceptional at the bridge the standout player on both sides, if he performed that way week in week out or at least put that effort in you would not hear a peep from anyone but the facts are he does not Chelsea performances are few and far between). He chooses his games to step up and perform in and that's not good enough at this level.

Can name more games he has cost us points the last two seasons.

He's been with us four seasons now going into his fifth. Take the promotion season out his record what has he done in three seasons with us??? Based on the three seasons is he worth the hype ???

If you think Paddy Kenny is right why not ask him what he thinks of Tarrabt, sure it will come out in a book or two.

Sorry but its only a handful on here that actually still believe the Tarrabt hype. If you want to big up an over rated, over weight individual who continually disrespects the club you claim to support them go for it, but not for me.

[West Mids QPR]

the club you claim to support

Yep, exactly what I'm talking about and sadly, the response I expected...

There is no I in team the same as there will never be a Tarrabt in any successful team at the top level (remember the season Tarrabt stared Bothroyd scored more so do you rate him). Oh and re reply glad I didn't disappoint

[QPR71]

he's there to win games cos he's a genius...he didn't, cos he's not. you're a worker or a game winner or some combination of both.
adel does neither

[Yousef]

Adel spent great times with us and we all enjoyed it. I think his time is up after two average PL performances. It is in both parties interests that he leaves because he thinks is better than he is and will never accept playing in the Championship anymore, so there is no point of forcing him to stay because he will not give his best anymore. We better sell him and move on.

You're right, there is no I in TEAM, but there is ME

So because this poster has a different view to you, your questioning whether he's a Ranger? Pathetic. What are you basing the fact that adel's supporters are in the minority? At games I'd say last season that the majority support him based on reaction to him. But I'd question whether you went to any.

Season ticket holder despite 3 hour trip each way, attended the majority of away games and have been fan for 40 years. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, some people used to believe the earth was flat and you could turn metal into gold but they eventually saw the truth as you will about Tarrabt in time. However much you want him to be a world beater it won't change the fact he can't perform in the Prem and is lazy and disrespectful to the club and therefore you as a fan.

Priceless, so after being critical of me for saying someone isn't a ranger because he has a different opinion, you do absolutely the same, have a word with yourself!
