Adel Taarabt discussion

[West Acton]

He's still the best player we've had in recent years, hope it goes well for him over there. It's still early days.

No he's not!....He's not even in the top 3.....Charlie, Fer and Remy all much better than Adel even on his good days.

Mate you don't know what you have just done do you

Involved in 41 out of our 71 goals (57.75%), which I think IS some sort of record.

Shame he never got the support from Hughes or Redknapp, who were supposed to be so good.
And even more of a shame he let himself down ever since.

Adel was an amazing talent but a head case. The career he could have had if his head was screwed on right.

I don't care how the last few seasons went that promotion season was for me the best display from an individual I have seen in a QPR shirt (I'm 32 and Sir Les is my hero but back than I didn't go as much as I do now). On his day unplayable but such a shame he doesn't have the right attitude.

Adel never did it at the top level in England. Milan could have signed him, but didn't. He can't get in the Benfica team. Maybe he's not cut out for the big stage.

[Shania]

What a shame. He´s got it all really. Poor Adel.

[Factamondo]

He's just a fat omid djarli

[lymehoop]

he no longer plays for us, should be remembered for that season

[Factamondo]

Yep lymes...like a past girlfriend who seemed tidy at the time but turned out a right old munter!

[SteveQPR1975]

Adel had one amazing season for QPR and that is in the history books what he does now is up to him

[Factamondo]

Like a Muslim Stuart wardley

[Hoop-du-Jour]

He's in serious training...

Where fook did you find Matty's holiday video?

Adel has amazing skill, but amazing skill does not a great player make.

The only reason he had that great season is because Warnock pandered to his ego and built the entire team around him. Nobody else would have done that. But credit to Neil for doing it - he saw an opportunity and grasped it with both hands and we all enjoyed the results.

Obviously Neil realized that Adel was nowhere near good enough for that to work in the Prem and that was it for him. If you are so greedy that you don't trust any of your teammates and think that every time you get the ball your job is to beat every opponent between you and the goal and then score, you will never even be a good player, never mind a great one. And that is Adel.
