Adel Taarabt discussion

[FACTS]

Barton was the first and major mistake IMHO.

You never want someone who could be argued to behave like a narcissist in your ranks - even if he did deliver from time to time.......

IMHO, that's where Colin copped it (that and Ale's knee...... and the silly contracts).

Only down the Rangers..........

Yeah. Barton was a big mistake. Should have kept Adel as captain. And then Faurlin getting injured was the end.

tbd TF was always playing catch up after buying us so late in the summer, but we panicked and bought absolute shite. Would have been better off weathering it til January and lining up proper targets.

TF's first major blunder.

Sadly a taste of what was to come. Great post from 77 btw, at the time I felt Neil was on rocky ground - he just didn't seem at home in the EPL and there were a couple of major tactical blunders I recall. I also felt Tone wanted his own man, a vibe I also got when Neil was replaced second time around. IMO not managing to retain his services for the season (while we got some credible contenders together) may yet have far reaching consequences.

What after signing such stars as Bothroyd, Dyer, DJ Campbell and days before the magnificent Young, Traore and SWP ?

This. None of them helped get us up, did they????

[Norths]

DJ and Betty were both coming off the back of fantastic seasons and the fees involved were reasonable. Dyer was a risk but one NW felt worth going for as he impressed in pre season.
The big wages handed to Barton set the standard for what was to follow the next few years.

Barton was clearly a good player but he destroyed our dressing room. We got promoted with adel as the star and the others working hard together as a team. Barton came in and challenged adel and the it all went downhill from there.

Including Adel. He's now too heavy to move on!

Until we find a player with 1 3rd of his flair and ability it's tough for any rangers fan to move on.

I moved on the second he disrespected the club and its fans by not getting his head down and getting back into the side. He didn't want to be here and made that pretty clear. Brilliant player but a grade A, 24 carrot ######.

Sorry for discussing a former QPR player on a QPR discussion board. Apologies.

Oh dear seriously???!!!

Whereas all our other players have disrespected the club and us fans by just generally being poor at football.

Would put verbal disrespect in different league to someone not having ability amazed so many still feel obliged to stick up for him

[Stanley]

...hence the great length of this discussion. He seems very marmitesque, doesn't he. There you go, I've even managed to invent a new word for him
