Langley: Rangers need to keep Taarabt

[SuperHoopNik]

“He’s a game changer and a match-winner. Historically, that’s what the fans like – having an entertainer on the pitch – and recently QPR haven’t had too many of those.

“Certainly for QPR this summer, one of the toughest things will be getting rid of some of the players that they have on the wage bill – that will be a massive task.

“But I don’t think Taarabt should be one of those they are looking to let go.”

“I think it will be a struggle to hold on to Taarabt. A player like him has to be guaranteed first-team action and he wasn't guaranteed that this year.

“I think he’s been QPR’s best player for the last three years and individually he got the club promoted from the Championship. It would be nice to see a bit of faith restored in him.

“I’m a QPR supporter but if I was Adel, after the way they've treated him, I would want to leave.”

Uh oh another Adel debate

Personally, agree with Langley though :sorry:

In fairness Langley has turned up to more QPR home games this season then Adel :sorry: often see him making his way into the ground before games

[Tarbie]

"After they way they've treated him"........What on earth is Langley on about?!!

Taarabt didn't play cos he was out of shape and in poor form. Taarabt couldn't be bothered to get in shape for the season and he's somehow hard done by cos he doesn't make the starting 11. It's idiots like Langley blowing smoke up Adel's a*se that are half the problem!

I really don't see that as such a problem. Footballers are able to switch off their emotions to further their careers. Crouch is a QPR fan but it didn't stop him scoring to help Stoke stay up.

Years ago Denis Law scored the decisive goal for Man City against Man Utd to send them down, yet he is a united fan and hero to their fans.
It seems that some QPR fans cannot accept Langley wanting a crack at the Championship rather than another league 1 campaign.

Just bit of a sickener wouldn't you agree, probably could have signed for a fair few teams other than the team that beat us to go up

[BUSHRANGER1982]

I agree with Richard, we must keep hold of Taarabt.

No other clubs bid for him though.

[WeAreQPR12]

Langley is spot on, without adel it will be much harder getting out of the championship, let him take the pis s out of championship defenders and then sell him.

[QPR Richard]

The annoying thing is, we know Adel has the potential to be a good player, but his attitude and fitness let him down.

As for the way Adel is treated by the club, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, and Langley, as an ex-player, may be privy to information none of us are.

[Yousef]

I disagree with Langley. It's time to move on and sell Taarabt.

[MattyRangers]

I disagree with Langley. It's time to move on and sell Taarabt.

What would you sell for, bearing in mind Spurs take 40%?

[WCE]

I'm on the keeping Adel side, top player in the cham, bags of skill and old H should be chatting with NW as to where and how Adel should be played within the team.

[Busheyboy]

Firstly, I don't think he wants to play in the championship again and secondly, I think it's time to move him on.
He was great when we were in the championship before but has been very inconsistent in the PL and all the Adel worshippers should be honest and admit that.
We'd probably get £5m for him which shows a good profit, even allowing Spurs' cut.
IMO it's reached a point where his presence becomes counter productive as he wants to take every corner, throw, free kick, etc and this doesn't help other players to progress.
Great talent, no question but end of the line for me
We have to look to the future and I don't see him as part of it
