Adel Taarabt discussion

[Bill]

Without question one of the three most naturally gifted individuals in my time watching the club (ie far too long).

Adel is coming back.......the new lean version

Would you have him ?

Just asking

I can understand him not wanting to come back to a manager who clearly never liked him from his Tottenham days. I think even if Adel was still the same player as the promotion seaon in training he still wouldn't get gametime. He must have been devastated when he saw Redknapp get the job. But having said that Adel owed it to himself to stay fit and keep going. I also think he probably suffers with depression and finds it hard to get motivated.
Ironically he is playing right now against AC Milan.

Aside from the headline, some interesting quotes:

"At the start of my career, I would rely solely on talent. I didn’t believe in hard work or playing for the team. I wanted to win my way. Now I have realised that football is a collective sport, that to be a complete player, you must be willing to sacrifice yourself. Putting on weight has always been an issue for me. When I was young and single, I could go out with my friends to restaurants. You can’t do that at 28, you need to change your lifestyle, and that’s what I did.

I rediscovered my love for football and for myself. I am crazy about this sport and watch every game I can. My idol is Zinedine Zidane and now I play closer to the goal, in the role he had. I thought I could never get back to my best, but with this new physical form, I can start winning again and playing well with Genoa.”

And at least he's backing the rhetoric up with performances now.

He needs to remember that we QPR gave him a platform to show his skills when nobody wanted him. Assole.

Can’t believe some “fans” can abuse him. No one in current side is fit to lace his boots. He has is troubles but he was our troubled Moroccan genius. Not sure we’ll see the likes of him at Loftus Road again but hey....at least we’ll have players who can do the hill of hell!

There will be many who will criticise him, because he wasted 4 seasons or so with his attitude/issues and by some because he didn't track back or chase the ball around like the current attackers, Mackie and Washington!

Spot on, won't see a player take the pi ss out of this league like that in my lifetime. OK didn't work out for him at a higher level but him and Wayne routledge were worth paying the entrance fee alone

absolutely true. watching them two was entertainment the likes of which we have not seen replicated since.

Good for him and hopefully it continues.

Ditto.

Think the penny has finally dropped with him. Lost 10kg and has completely changed his game. Runs around, defends..dare I say it he's abit of a workhorse haha.

Well if that's true, and it lasts then the last few years of his career could be very interesting to watch!

#### Luke Freeman? Freeman could and never will hold a candle to Taarabt. A unbelievably talented footballer with no brains off it.

I was joking!

A fit and focused AT is possibly the only former player (along with Austin) that I would genuinely be excited about returning to Loftus Road should we ever be linked.

Doesn't surprise me he's doing well. One of the most naturally gifted footballers that I've ever seen. We all know it won't last though. 6 months tops, and he'll be in the press for the wrong reasons again!

"You're just a sh*t Luke Freeman"

[dave58]

[davieqpr]

Hopefully he has got rid of all his family hangers on who keep telling him Barcelona or Madrid are after him.
