Once upon a time we had a team of staggering talent, many on the verge of international appearances, all fan favourites...someone called Mick Leach won Player of the Year and - he deserved it. |  |

I always wondered if the club doctored the count.
Just couldn't figure how the fans would vote for anyone else. |
When the vote was done Adel had a few off games and Kenny was playing well plus I think a lot of people thought well Adel will win I'll give Kenny a vote for 2nd place
I still think it's very funny he didn't win and very QPR. [Post edited 23 Jan 7:57]

Kenny was amazing that season. Easily saved a lot of points. | | | |

Interesting with Taarabt that he did Onouha’s podcast a few years back and was very introspective about how he had sabotaged his own career and had only put the dots together when dumped into the benfica reserve team with 18 year olds. It seemed like he had finally grown up.
Getting kicked out of a club at going on 36 suggests that infact it was all a ruse and he’s still the same guy he always was. | | | |

Only way he should return is at half time to get inducted into the forever R's.
That ship has sailed and I wouldn't want my memories of him tarnished.
Most skilful player I have ever seen at LR and my first game was 1980.
Still can't believe he didn't get player of the year! Kenny was immense but come on!!!!!!!!!! |  |

Has Taraabt succeeded at the top level anywhere?
Brilliant for us for one season, in the Championship, no doubt about that. Quickly found out in the Premier League, don’t recall him playing at that level again though I stand to be corrected.
At the risk of being accused of playing Old Man Top Trumps, I’ve seen Francis, Bowles, Thomas, Marsh, Wilkins and Les, and Taraabt doesn’t hold a candle to any of them.
And what position does he play? Chairs! Behave the lot of you. |  | | |

Was revered at Benfica, and arguably AC Milan for short periods. |  | | |

I'm sure he would've thrived had Warnock stayed. Badly mishandled by Hughes and Redknapp.
You've only got to see how brilliant he was in that Chelsea win at the Bridge to know that he could do it at that level. He was immense that night. Also class goals against Fulham, West Ham and Arsenal, in a team full of charlatans. [Post edited 23 Jan 10:37]

Was he found out with us? He played a major part in us staying up that 1st season and was our best player by miles the second season until redknapp threw a wobbler and dropped him after he missed a penalty against Norwich, that performance at Chelsea was incredible
he never hit the heights of 20 goals and assists in the Prem but he did a pretty decent job for us
I think Adel not hitting the heights of Stan, Marsh etc is not a bad thing, very few players do reach those heights | | | |

Solid points. But we'll never know.
I suspect when it's announced that 44 year old Adel Taarabt has left his job with the Casablanca Sports Ministry, we'll still have some asking, 'Could he still do a job for us?'
It's like Gavin & Stacey. It's over; we just have have to move on. |  |

Also, that usless prick Barton didn't exactly warm to him. Adel wouldn't train with Barton because he was constantly trying to kick lumps out of him!! | | | |

Says a lot about the management and something about the senior pros at the time that they didn't step in. What's a bigger shame, was that Adel didn't knock seven shades of crap out of Barton.
An era in QPR's history that just needs erasing from one's memory. | |

77 Premier League appearance over four seasons, but only seven goals. Probably would have been more of both had we not suffered two of the most clueless managers we've ever had. Saying that he might not have gone on loan to Fulham that season if we'd had a better manager. |  |

In the words of Barry Davies, 'Interesting. Very interesting!'
He's now 35, but - call me a romantic nutcase - if he's fit, all parties were agreeable, and he were available on a cut-price one-year deal, I would definitely take a look at it at least! [Post edited 22 Jan 17:48]

And bring someone in who could upset the rest of the players who all seem to get on well. Why would we do that?
As much as I loved him he was reknowned for his tantrums. I can see him coming in and upsetting players and coaches and ruining all the good work MC has done. | | | |

He was technically better than all those players you named; he could do anything they ever did but none of those could do some of the things AT did.
He had more than one good season with us too. That 1st season in the EPL was only worth watching because of him and Townsend. This is a hill I would die on. |  |

I've seen pub footballers looking far trimmer than that.
