Adel's bigger than QPR......in his head

[3London]

oh because barton has done so much for rangers hasnt he, half a season in the championship playing well and now he is some sort of hero! couldnt make it up really!

Agreed to use the words barton and antics in the same sentence is brave indeed!

[stainrodisalegend]

Think the reason people don't want Adel is ATTITUDE ATTITUDE ATTITUDE, He would disrupt the harmony of the squad and cause too many problems with his selfishness, and he kept telling us he was going to Arsenal,Real Madrid,Barcelona,AC Milan Man Utd? Oh and where is he getting splinters in his Ar#e at Fulham, oh sorry he's not even doing that hasn't even made the squad some weeks

So "Joey" never said he was too good for the Championship, would be playing in the Champions League and wanted to stay in France and even a few months ago was trying to engineer a move to Everton? Oh sorry, I forgot, not allowed to mention any o that because "Joey" is an R (apparently).

True, but but the main difference is Taarabt has a history of a bad attitude at this club whilst playing at this club.

What, and stubbing cigars in the eyes of junior players etc etc is not a sign of bad history? Or getting sent off in a crucial match for us? Or saying you only signed for us for the money?

The cigar incident is non excusable. The sending off is and always has been apart of his game. And saying he only signed for the money is just typical joey being honest. fock me you don't think most players play for a club because they love that club. Its there job of course they play for the money.

when joey puts that hoops top on he'll always give a 100% something that Taarabt will do when it suits him or if his not to busy throwing toys out of prams.

Joey losing his rag, and earning himself a ban long enough to cause such an issue he got left out of a squad for a half a season and then loaned to France, is not a history of bad attitude?

I'm majorly impressed by Joey for the most part this season. He has been excellent, and although the petulance is still there, it is much better controlled (bar one slip).

The only real difference between the two is that Joey didn't find another club to take him, and had to stay. He has rolled up his sleeves and got on with it, but there is nothing to say that Adel wouldn't have done the same if he had stayed too.

There are certainly other factors with Adel, his history and relationship with Harry for starters is a pretty major one for sure, but the reception that Joey received on his return stands in marked difference to the attitude towards Adel at this moment.

It's an interesting comparison for sure.

Look not for one second am I saying Joey's a saint, he's far from that. But come Saturday afternoon I know I would prefer Joey in the team because I know what im going to get from him a 100%. But with Taarabt i'm not sure even when he was playing at his best, you never really new who was going to turn up. Now don't get me wrong i'm not for one second questioning Taarabt's talent. He was a huge huge part of our promotion season.

Now we expect that, but it was far from obvious in his first season with us.

Ladies and gentleman move on please there is nothing to see!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's true, but I honestly can't see Adel changing... and that's my issue

I couldn't see Joey changing.....

[maidstone_hoop]

And if he came back and made no contribution what so ever and just poisoned the dressing room with his bad attitude I think some people would forget they were asking for him to come back pretty quick too.

All I'm saying mate is maybe its not best to relive the past and maybe we should keep moving forward. After all we're not doing to bad are we...

We are reliving the past with Joey and hoillet ect... tbh like I said I don't think he's coming back and don't think Harry would entertain the idea. My argument is we know we.could do with more goals and creativity and another match winner. Imo taarabt would bring us that.
I also don't think for 1 minute if Harry did have him back would he let him near the squad unless he proved his worth and earnt the right to play. To have one maverick who can be frustrating but also change a game or win one in a flash moment of magic is not a bad tool to have in the box. We all know he's capable of that and while he's our player and we are striving for automatic promotion I would personally take the risk. It's just a opinion and not knocking the achievemnts.this squad has done this year as am very proud.

Yikes this could go on all night

But I really really cant see Adel changing, I just think thats the way he is.
