Fools have option to buy Taarbs

[jmelanie]

I don't want to see Adel Taarabt in an R's shirt again and I actually think he needs to move into Europe now as after a year with them fools down the road he will be a spent force and no one will be interested in him!

After all the stick the fool fans have given us over the past two years I actually enjoy watching them flop on MOTD.

I mean they lost to Newcastle Utd on Saturday and they were appalling, kind of reminded me of another team last season! The writing is on the wall.

Have we dodged a bullet in missing out on Scott Parker, looks like it from here!

Actually I thought Scott Parker was the only player who looked impressive.

Fulham gossip, don't know whether true or not.Would it bother us not getting Adel back if we went up anyway?...

Don't want him back! let them pay, the only reason he's on loan is that at the end of this season the sell on fee clause to spurs runs out, so anything we get for him after this season is ours so spurs dont get their 40% of the sell fee £10m to Fulham will do? if they're not pissed off with him by then? which they may be, anyway he can always get the bus back.

He's gone. Let's move on.

We wont get anyweher close to £10m for Adel from any club, that boat sailed after the promotion season that was the time to sell high. Top fee for him now, and this is based on him having a good season this year, would be £4 at a push £5mil

[jmelanie]

£4 or £5mil for a player who is not going to play at the club again would not be a bad deal. If we had sold him after the promotion season for £10m we would only have got £6m and at the time nobody knew how he was going to perform in the Premiership.

My guess I think he may end up in russia or the middle east with the world cup heading there rather than stay in europe

don't see how you can predict that. if anyone has a good season in the prem you can more or less make your own price up. he cd really click and then he would be worth a fortune or a complete failure and then prob is only worth a few million (probably on the continent).

[Marshy]

To be honest, I feel we are doing a lot better without him in the team.

I will miss the tricks, but I'd rather 3 points more often.

The last time he played in this league, we did very well with him. How much is us doing better due to not having players like Tarbs and how much us it due to the fact that the opposition is weaker? If this team played in the Premiership, it will be bottom 3, it's doing well here because the league is easier. To say we're doing well because Tarbs isn't playing seems harsh to me!

The other day I saw someone write disapprovingly that Taarabt hit the Fulham badge after scoring for them. So what? They pay their wages, the fans are cheering him on, why shouldn't he? At least he didn't kiss it, and he has kissed our badge before.

Adel Taarabt will always have a special place in my heart, I will never forget what he did for us, and if he doesn't come back, I will always be saddened that he didn't reach the heights he should have with us due to mismanagement.

Exactly.

Nonsense..you mean due to his attitude.

[ollyhoops]

I think he's probably worth £4m now realistically. If he had stood out in the premiership with us then it would be a different story.

I wasn't serious tongue in cheek I only want them to pay £10m, Think personaly we'd be lucky to get at best £3-4M, not even sure many teams in England would want to take a chance on him with his antics in the past? also we're now a better TEAM without him,

[Johnny Tightlips]

He tore up the Championship but failed miserably in the PL (like he did at Spurs) aside from one or two cameo's. That isn't a £5m player, let alone a £10m player without factoring in his infamous laissez faire attitude to things like actual training and turning up on time and eating correctly.

We'd be lucky to see the top end of £2m including add ons. And I'd snap the hand off anyone offering that.

How can you seriously say he failed at Spurs? He only played for them 9 times, starting none of those games, coming on as sub because he was still a teenager and had other established players ahead of him. How could one seriously call that failure?

You might not like our player Adel Taarabt, but at least be honest about your criticisms of him.

Anyway, I can guarantee you, if we offered Taarabt for 2 million, there will be a whole host of clubs lining up to sign him. Let me guess, you're one of those who thinks Joe Allen at 15m is better than a 2m Tarbs?

At the end of the day he's only worth what others are prepared to pay. Since we apparently didn't have anybody beating down the door for his signature, that's not very much.
