Adel : I now wasted 3 years

[QPRDave]

He got with us?? Don't be silly. We got with him.... Nothing to do with the likes of Clint and Derry, Iceman and Bradders, Routledge and Smith......

He single handedly got for us

As usual he is all over the press before he has properly proved himself. He will likely fade from here on and Milan wont want to keep him. Biggest problem he has is his brain.

Or alternatively the media ask for interviews (which will always happen at a big club), he agrees to them, they shove a mic under his nose and ask him a question which he gives an honest answer to (be it a clever one or not).

Remember Fulham last year? we finally win a game, he finally does something good and he is all over the press. He doesn't have to agree to this but its his massive ego and I presume his agent pushing him as well. He needs to keep his head down and work hard and STFU for a while until he has a consistent season or 2 behind him at a top level.

Why should he? That's just how he is. I dont see the connection between how often he appears in the media and his form on the pitch. He's always been willing to give interviews, whether he's playing well or not.

I don't see how you don't see that connection tbh. Being mentally strong is a big part of being a successful footballer.

So youre saying that by agreeing to give these interviews it means he's mentally weak?

You know I'm not saying that. Look at Alex Ferguson and how he protected his young players from the media and kept their feet on the ground. Adels attitude stinks and always has. Until that changes he will never reach his full potential.

I wonder if he realise that he's still an employee at qpr..

I didnt know you were saying that; its why I asked. We all know he's arrogant but if you take that away from him he wouldn't be the same player. The same can be said of any of the flawed genius maverick footballers down the years. And neither has he had the privilege of a Ferguson to mentor him (apart from Warnock) but that's not his fault. You, I and nobody knows with any true certainty if he'll ever achieve his full potential but no one can deny the promising start he's made at Milan.

Can't see any slating of Rangers in that piece at all. Seems a case of people trying to find things that aren't there.

Perhaps someone could do us the honour of explaining how we did greatly improve, under either of the last two managers as from where I'm sitting, the league positions and performances have indeed slipped somewhat since Warnock's time. Not saying for a moment that Warnock was doing brilliantly towards the end of his time, but he was given a lot less slack than the two clowns that followed him.

Good luck to him. He deserves to play in a team where he is allowed to play his football and enjoy it, rather than what he would have to suffer in this side.

There is a reason he is doing well in Milan and not here. And we all know who that is.

I agree about the arrogance part but as you say he has made a promising "start"...and that's it. Id love to see him make it at Milan but I don't think he will and not because of a lack of ability...that's just my opinion.
