Just saw on BBC Sport "Great scenes in the tunnel at Bramall Lane as Adel Taarabt interrupts Neil Warnock doing his post-match analysis on television to give his former manager his shirt from the match"
Nice gesture from Taarabt (This post is not one begging for Taarabt back, just giving information, so please do not hate) |  |

Not triffick enough a bloke for 'Arry to have back.
Watching Stoke fail like a eunock in a hareem this afternoon against the filth made me think of the way he played Chelscum into the ground a year ago. He even laid SWP's only goal in 300 appearances on a plate.
I'd still love Adel to come back - as long as it was the right Adel.
I think he's learned his lesson - but until 'Arry is given the boot for not getting promotion, it won't happen. |  |

Get over it lads, he was crap today btw...

Former Spurs playmaker Taarabt was allowed to leave by Rangers boss Harry Redknapp after indicating he did not want to play in the Championship following last season’s relegation.
And Taarabt has vowed to make an impression with Fulham and bury his reputation as a maverick.
He said: 'QPR wanted me to stay, but having played Premier League last season I wanted it again this year. I didn’t want to drop back. When they told me Fulham were interested I told them I wanted to come here.
'Saying I do not want to play in the Championship does not make me a bad person. I was very lucky coming here because Martin Jol knows me not just as a footballer but as a person too. He knows the real Adel Taarabt. |  |

I am more than happy to beg for the return of Taarabt.
In 35 years of supporting the hoops, I can't remember enjoying watching anyone more. Just the thought of the "Taarabt's too good for you" song after another outrageous piece of skill gets the hairs on the back of my neck up.
Come on home Adel, you know you want to and I'm sure you'd get a hero's welcome.
Don's tin hat and takes cover :-) |
Now I've enjoyed watching him, but I would not say more than anyone else. Pretty sure the likes of Les Ferdinand, Clive Wilson, Macca, Wilkins etc who did it for long periods of time against 'top teams' would rank far higher.
He does have some outrageous skill I give you that but the others I mention gave me more enjoyment in different ways. |  |

But he is right though. It was a one off season building a team around him that worked. Give me a hard working Austin over a sometimes good Adel any day. |  |

But they're not mutually exclusive. I would've thought that a sometimes good Adel would benefit a hard working Austin's goals to games ratio. |  | | |

No he's not. It's subjective. There's arguments for and against. And Austin or Taarabt?? Why?? Adel plays in Kranjcar's position. They're like for like. No one, certainly not me, is proposing you'd have Taarabt instead of Austin. I love Charlie. And they're two completely different players who play in completely different positions. I do presume you actually know that... | | | |
| Taarabt giving Warnock his shirt on 00:05 - Jan 27 with 1331 views | PunteR |
Adel would be great in this team. We need a more attacking midfielder that scores goals and assists. He would work well with Austin imho. |  |

Agree entirely. No one has given me more pleasure watching the Rs than Taarabt. The feeling that you never knew what he might do next like the goals that came from nowhere - pure joy and a quality that you can't coach into a player.
I don't live in the past as a rule but I'll always remember the pleasure of hearing "Taarabt's too good for you" ringing out after his latest piece of outrageous skill.  |  |

Really? You could have fooled me.
The fact remains he made little impact in the Premier League with QPR (unless you count the tantrums he threw along the way) and is struggling to hold down a regular spot in a poor Fulham team.
That said, I would welcome a return for the remainder of this season but would sling him out upon promotion. [Post edited 27 Jan 2014 3:00]

He doesn't actually say he doesn't want to play for QPR it says he wanted to play in the premier league. The mam is a genius with a football, a magician even what he can do with a ball and how he can turn a man inside out and make it look easy is incredible.
I would have him back in a heartbeat.
Just because he doesn't want to play in the championship for a manager who hates him shouldn't tarnish his reputation it should be applauded in this day and age. He wants to play football as regular as he can at the highest level he can.
He knows that he would have been sent to rot with Julio if he stayed here. In this day and age of players coming to the cash cow this is qpr to sit on your ar se and not play football why would you have a go at Adel for wanting to play??
It makes no sense why abdel gets the treatment he receives from some of the fans on here! | | | |

Such a boring subject now.
People can view his words in different ways "he didn't want to play for us / he wanted to play premier league football ect ect, fact remains he went about it in the wrong way. Walking out on a pre season tour, is totally unprofessional. It's a time of the season when your trying to build morale and a team spirit, and trying to prepare so you can hit the ground running. He could have jeopardised things.
He had 1 great season getting us promoted, but like others have said, so did Paddy Kenny, breaking records in the process, but my concern is that his 1 season was based on the fact NW let him do exactly as he pleased. You can't allow that in football. You can't give 1 player elevation above others. It creates divides and segregations, and straight away removes the "team" spirit.
I see HR dosnt fancy him, and personally I make him right, but let me ask the Pro Adel camp, if Martin Jol, who is AT's biggest fan, the guy that gave him a chance with spuds and bought him through to their first team can't get him to perform, then who can?
People need to realise, he's had 1 good season as a pro, and done nothing else. People saying he created so many chances and SWP / Zamora didn't finish things off blah blah blah are talking nonsense. I can't remember how many games Ive been to where he just couldn't be bothered, and it seems like the fools are seeing the same.
People need to get over him. So much potential but it will all go to waste. Hell never achieve anything in the game unfortunately. It's sad to say as I thought he'd be a world beater, but the facts say otherwise. Wasted talent |  | | |

ah the old 'one season' myth.
Saved us from relegation the previous season, as admitted by Warnock in his book - he had a major hand in almost every goal we scored from the moment Warnock arrived until the end of that season.
Best player in the league the following season.
Had an awful start the following season, unfit and disgraced himself. But then was a major part of the side after Christmas, playing in almost all of Hughes's games and scored vital goals against Arsenal and Spurs to help us win 5 home games on the trot to keep us up. He was disciplined, hard-working, even diligent.
Then Hughes decided to make him the playmaker/fulcrum the following season. After one game, during which he was superb in the first half, he abandoned this. Taarabt got injured, but returned to score a wonder goal v West Ham. When Redknapp took over he was already the talisman again, and was consistently our best player for three months - a leader, in fact. then he missed the pen v Norwich and had a bad game v Man Utd and despite everything he'd done for Harry - being the one spark he could count on, he dropped him. He brought him back v Villa as a sub, where he was superb. But then kept him off the pitch again. He brought him back v Fulham, where he scored and won a penalty, and then dropped him again.
The idea that he only played well for one season is a nonsense. Adel is his own worst enemy, for sure, I make no excuses for him, but he's also been very poorly managed at times - and particularly by Redknapp. |  |

I'd take Tarbs back in a heartbeat. We've been moaning recently at the utterly boring displays for the most part. Adel would cure this for sure, and also help Charlie get more than 2 chances to score per game |  |

Excellent post, Antti,
It's hard to discuss Taarabt on here sometimes. Any attempt to analyse him in a balanced fashion can bring accusations of bias or naivety with it, but that's an accurate post and a decent recap of is time with us. |  |

Can we not stick to the OP here? I wasnt aware of this and think it's quite a nice touch that he still has such an affinity for somebody that got the absolute best out of him, even if it was for the one season.
The problem with Taarabt threads are that each are in their respective camps as far as loving/not loving him are concerned and neither can say anything to convince the other, so why don't we just leave it be until we actually get him back and have to make a decision. |  |

He was pretty good for us in the Prem, player of the year last season until his penalty which seemed to affect him badly and Redknapp decided after that to go with Zamora and Remy so he hardly played again. Sadly all of his good performances are quickly consigned to the dustbin by many and we pretend that didn’t happen.
He said last summer he wants to play for us again one day and would love to come back but wanted a chance to play in the premier League which other players like Joey Barton have also said in the past.
I think the chances of him coming back have gone now he’s back in favor at Fulham, we needed him to come back to us with the club in a strong position to dictate terms with him, I’m not sure that will be the case if he comes back in the summer so doubt he’ll play for us again for a good few years. Shame as I agree with those who say we’d stand a better chance with him in the side and a think a front two of him and Austin would be far more prolific and far more chance of developing in the prem than the Krancjkar and Austin pairing as although Niko is still a good player he is well past his best these days. |  | | |

Brilliant post, couldn't agree more.
Another myth, and something you touched on in there, is that he has to be the centre of the team. In the second half of the 11/12 season, when he had that run of games where he played left wing. He was hard working defensively, I can't remember which game it was, but I remember him losing the ball and sprinting back 30 yards and executing a good sliding tackle to win the ball back.
You could hardly call Taarabt the fulcrum of that team, nor was he allowed the freedom he was indulged in the promotion season, but he played well, consistently. And that was under Mark bloody Hughes!
Taarabt's probably been my favourite QPR player (I'm young, I missed all the good years) and I'd be very sad never to see him play for us again.
On topic, loved Warnock's very casual reaction. Had he asked for his shirt before the game? He didn't looked surprised that Adel came up to him. [Post edited 27 Jan 2014 11:32]
