The only one I have felt was worth the admission price alone. I do hope he manages to recapture that form with another club and sort out his head, for the sake of those who relish seeing such players | | | |

Prepare for the Longest Thread Ever! on 04:27 - Jun 11 by QPR_ARG | Those responsible at QPR for a long time, who have been unable to manage this incredibly talented player, have left us in the Second Division while he goes and sign for a giant of a club and plays in the Champions League. He's done it before. He'll do it again. Hopefully he'll find a better environment for a player of his quality (even if he's a difficult character) because no matter what happened off the pitch, I will forever be grateful to him for making me live my happiest times as a QPR supporter. I'll watch every Benfica match from now on. PS: I can't believe we will get nothing from his transfer. What a waste of our resources! |
Embarrassing. Even by your standards. A waste of the clubs resources was paying him £3m a year to sit down the Shisha Bar. | | | |
Prepare for the Longest Thread Ever! on 09:21 - Jun 11 with 3710 views | headhoops | For one season only Adel was 'the' man - sadly he's become a legend in his own mind. I would like to think he could capture his best once more but I suspect Benfica will get more petulance than performance. A wasted talent. | |

Renton: Some of his solo stuff's not bad. Sick Boy: No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite. Renton: So who else? Sick Boy: Charlie Nicholas, David Niven, Malcolm McLaren, Elvis Presley... Renton: OK, OK, so what's the point you're trying to make?

Prepare for the Longest Thread Ever! on 09:48 - Jun 11 with 3428 views | Monahoop | I don't like comparing players to others, but in 2010/11 season I thought Taarabt was going to be the next Stan Bowles. Skill, flare, some good goals. But unlike Stan he switched off. He was a one man ,one season show and his only ruination it seems is himself. I wish he had gone a while back. But now he has gone, let's move on. There will be more potential heroes in the future and maybe someone better, who knows. | |

What might have been eh?Stan had a personal mentor in Gordon Jago and Adel had Warnock,but as you say Adel switched off when the inspiring influence left.Rather than Stan he could end up being the new Robin Friday. | |

Prepare for the Longest Thread Ever! on 10:01 - Jun 11 with 3354 views | adhoc_qpr | Shame Redknapp stuck around so long, if he'd gone after the playoff final, a new manager might have managed to bring Taarabt onside. Best for everyone to move on now, we don't need the wage burden and Ramsey clearly isn't the type to indulge lazy but talented players. Interesting to see how he does, he managed to get himself fit and firing for Milan, maybe he'll do the same here. | | | |

"Brilliant talent, awful attitude" - how very true! Hindsight is a wonderful gift! It is a great pity for all (Adel and the Club) that we did not sell him after our 2011-2011. He was then valued at GBP 15M and I think that it would have been beneficial for both parties. However, had we done that, I am sure that there would have been a meltdown on the forums. Adel is an unfilled potential and it is very sad. However, I will always fondly remember his contribution in that promotion winning side. But it is time for both parties to move on and progress. I will follow his progress with interest. [Post edited 11 Jun 2015 10:05]

Not sure I buy in to this being Redknapp's fault....Adel has been at the club under 4 or 5 different managers now and at times he has had problems with every one of them. | | | |

This myth, the one where he didn't play well after the championship season and the ridiculous claim that he said his time at qpr was a waste of time just will not die. Treated truly awfully by Redknapp to deflect from his own failings repeatedly for 2 years but didn't take advantage when he left. Real shame. | |

Prepare for the Longest Thread Ever! on 10:25 - Jun 11 with 3252 views | stevec | Having been fortunate enough to watch Stan Bowles cutting it for years at the top level I feel I should inform you what an imposter Taraabt is. He was not good enough for the Prem, hence the constant sulks, the inability to train, anything to maintain the perception of a misunderstood genius that so many have bought into. He is a very good 2nd Division footballer, that is it. | | | |
