Adel Taarabt discussion

He's just big boned.....

[Lunar Jetman]

He needs to lose just under half a stone? Not exactly Mr Creosote is he....

Yep, at rather watch thin as a butcher's dog Karl Henry waltz round oppo defences, bang in 20 goals a Championship season and lay on a similar number of assists. Oh wait, what's that you say? Football doesn't work like that...?

[Ginger Ninja]

I can imagine the absolute gym freak machines behind their computers with their 6 packs out kissing their muscles talking about someone like Adel being fat No disrespect OP as you may be fit as a fiddle.

The guy has gone and is Benficas problem now, whilst we have the joys of watching our current players walk the championship.

I'm actually rather rotund

[Olly]

1.5kg = 3 lbs

[maverick69]

1.5 kgs?

You can lose that in a couple of days - easy. F1 drivers lose that over one race.

I'd imagine it's his core fitness that is more the issue.

Was havng 1 every day on holiday, blinding little things them.

1? I was having 4-5 at least! (free in the hotel executive lounge, check me out)
Portuguese food is pretty salty and oily though, not a fan in general

[lymehoop]

isn't that the other fat waste of space we managed to offload left of him

Certainly looks like Mr Ceaser doesn't it ? The bald fella looks like he wants to kill fatboy

[AndoverRanger]

Adel only has himself to blame. With the right attitude he could have been something special but unfortunately he has it all wrong. Loved him during our promotion season and scored some blinding goals but the best thing we did was offload him, just a shame we didn't do it sooner. I can only imagine how much effort Warnock had to put into keeping Adel sweet.

Simple...tray of Krispy Kremes delivered to chez Taarrabt every day and a rub down with cocoa butter on the old stretch marks......

[SteveQPR1975]

He can get as fat as razor ruddock is now as long as he don't play for us lol

[EssexR]

I still find it interesting that of all the high profile teams and managers he's played under, only Neil Warnock was ever able to get the best out of him.

Says more about Warnock than it does Adel tbh. If I was the Benfica manager i'd be getting in contact with Neil and asking him how he did it and nobody else's approach seems to work.
