Will Adel get a chance?

[Felt]

I hope he doesn't.

Let's look at Adel's last few years here: there was the absconding from Craven Cottage on a bus, being fined 60K for refusing to be weighed and lateness, being sent home from pre-season last year for lateness, and an attitude that led to Fulham terminating his loan halfway through the season.

Some choice quotes from a recent interview:

The Moroccan international is on loan from QPR, though there are reports a €4m deal has already been struck to make the move permanent.

“I haven’t heard that,” he told Tuttosport. “If we qualify for the Europa League preliminary rounds, then I might only sign on August 31, so at least I can keep my summer vacation!

Taarabt was asked about his most famous incident, when he got on a bus after his substitution for QPR and went to the pub.

“Everyone knows that one, so I’ll tell you a different incident. Once in a training retreat with Morocco I learned from the tactical meeting that I wasn’t going to play. So I waited for the team to start training, called the Fulham secretary and got them to book me a ticket from Marrakech to Marseille.

“I escaped for two days in France and they were looking for me all over Morocco!”

...and of course this season he turned up fat as **** for about the fourth year running.

There seems to be a double-standard here. People constantly bang on about needing the "right sort" - Adel definitely isn't that. What does it say to the other players if you give him yet another chance?

And for all of those things, apparently Adel is a scapegoat, we should be blaming the manager and according to Weare and Dale the other day, Adel is neither overweight nor unfit, so clearly we are all just hating on AT and should be grateful we have him waiting in the wings to grace the number 10 shirt this season

He wants to leave for AC Milan and what QPR player wouldn't?

He should go as he will be no good to us sulking around the place. One thing though, where does Redknapp get the rubbish from that "he hasn't trained once, since we have been back". The youtube videos show he has been training no?

Anyway boring argument now.

boring argument and could be a boring season if we don't add any creative players because he needs replacing, regardless of what some think.

Nail on head - replacing is the operative word

I've been thinking that too and the reason for my thread, but you're right lets move on.

You can`t help but blame him when he comes out with comments like that!!
Would he let any other player get away with "not training, miles away from fitness, don`t know what`s happening with him" I doubt it...
Like previously said I think he`s being made a scapegoat.
Think Adel has had it made clear that he`s not wanted and maybe his attitude reflects that.
Some people on here actually wanted Grenero & Mbia to return this season, yet our best player THAT season is treated like an outcast.
I`m not sticking up for him as I said earlier if he don`t wanna be here he should go, but for me the acid test is how you would feel with them in another side playing
against QPR and for me i`d be gutted, only Remy, Austin, Phillips and maybe Ned would make me feel that way.

Being made a scapegoat?????..... that's officially the worst argument in favour of Adel!!..

How on earth is it no Adel's fault he's ridiculously out if shape for a 'professional' footballer... so bad that he's unable to train and keep up with the rest of the lads. Somehow this is all HRs fault......... he's a fully grown adult who gets paid a $hit load of money to play football. If he can't even be bothered to look after himself why should we bother to pay him? Sell him ASAP!!!!!

If he didn't have such a big focking chip on his shoulder and got he's head down and actually tried to get into the team and want to play for us then maybe he wouldn't have such a hard time on here!!

[Kirill]

Adel! Adel Adel Adel. Adel? ADEL!!!!! Adel.

[Midgeyboy]

Don't hate the player, hate the game...

[Will M]

I love these Adel fangirl threads. Always brighten up your day. If you imagine Adel as their cheating/beating spouse it makes the cliches funnier.

Sorry Nick... is this not Adel training?

[Nick]

God damn you MYU

Not exactly working up a sweat though is he.

[MYU]

We won't know Nick, that's all they show.

My theory is if he don't feature in the squad inc subs for Hull, he'll be on his way out.

[SuperHoopNik]

Got a funny feeling he'll start on saturday.

Not a chance IMO

it's possible Harry is playing some mind games with the oppo, but I doubt it in this case.
