Adel Taarabt starts for Milan

[gaza09]

couldn't have put it better myself.

Except the fact that Adel didn't want to play in the championship.

if he was perfect he wouldn't be playing for us. Point is that for club like us we need to work with players like this not just discard them.

Hm, You could be right. Anyway, I´will always remember what he did for us in CC. I hope Ravel Morrison will suceed. If he does, it will really please me!!

He's just joined a new club. What he supposed to say? God I miss qpr, harry made me join. Who knows what went on but we should of done our best to keep him in my view.

It's like chatting to the Korean lot about Park
To be honest his gone and the way his playing at Milan he won't be coming back.
Like you said no one knows what went on, so why assume Harry's the one in the wrong? And use how Adel is playing now as a stick to beat him with. I suppose it's fashionable to **** off Harry now days

amazing. so in one swift move we go from "adel is rubbish, we don't need him" to "he is way too good for us and he's not coming back so get over it." seamless...

That is pretty amazing

For anyone that hasn't seen it yet, he produced this marvelous bit of skill.

Also every time I see first hand evidence such as interviews, he always came across as down to earth and one of the few players who generally loved our club. I remember posting on here when someone posted a link to a broadcast by Rigg and I said a clip before was an interview of Adel and he just came across as genuinely loving our club.
I know lots has been reported about dressing room upheaval, turning up late, not wanting to play blah blah blah and the finger of blame is inevitably pointed at Adel but I haven't actually seen any firm evidence just hearsay.
Seems to be used as a scapegoat to cover up mistakes of consecutive managers/board to divert any possible justifiable criticism of why in over 2 years 9 months after the club has proceeded in an unprecedented programme of buying/loaning scores of what can loosely be described as professional footballer that to date not one acquisition save for Charlie Austin has matched expectations or created stability.

Rooney wants to leave he gets a contract of Ł300k p/w even though he ain't been playing well, we in turn take the armband away, delay contract talks even though we offer Barton probably three times the salary, bench him, don't clamp down on unsubstantiated leaks, allow managers to air dirty laundry in public without naming names but just generalisation to feed the baying public.

Never heard AT put down our club, wasn't it TF who wanted to walk because people were being nasty on twitter

Good for Adel that he's doing well at AC, if he leaves on a permanent then fair play, we clearly didn't want him.

It's all about being in credit for me. By that I mean, Adel's done far more for qpr than harry has done and probably will do.

i dont think it was rangers adel didnt want to play for i think its arry he didnt want to play for! the better adel does at his new club the bigger mug arry boy is going to appear! thank fock arry wasnt in charge of a player like stan bowles he would have had him out of our club after a season! these sort of players need to be handled right.

The bloke is contracted to Queens Park Rangers. We didn't need to let him go and we shouldn't of let him go.

Barton was styling for a Marseille move, we blocked it cos we needed him.

Should've done the same with Adel.

Absolutely spot on mate. Only trouble is, all the talk and attention would have been about Adel. We would have walked the league because of Adel, not Harry. Sadly, Harry is now very much the focal point of many peoples attention for all the wrong reasons.

Only surprise so far is that nobody has yet blamed him for not scoring and Milan losing.

[Connell10]

i blame adel for not scoring and milan losing!

[brightonr]

i blame adel for not scoring and milan losing!

In that case, I blame Harry for Milan losing.

Why are people still debating "he would rip the Championship" like he wanted to play for us but we got rid of him? The fact is that he never wanted to play for us after getting relegation.
