Adel and his 'attitude problem'

[maccatwo]

Get shirt on him asap don't care what number as long as it our shirt he wearing

Agree in parts with this post, in that he is a fantastic player and his game has really come on under Warnock. however, i do feel he has an attitude as towards the end of last season he twice asked to be substituted once for being booed by fans (wrongly in my mind but as a pro you just have to carry on) and then again the following game for not being allowed to take a penalty, which at a professional level is disgraceful. If Warnock can remove this from his game then in my mind this could potentially be one of the best bits of business this club has done in a very long time.

I am sure NW will address that and resolve it.

Hope so, think Adel looks at Warnock as a sort of father figure so hopefully he will listen

A certain poster on here has spent the past 6 months launching a venomous tirade at Adel Taarabt and his supposed 'attitude problem' and it has got me thinking do we define an attitude problem?

When I look at Taarabt I see a match winner, a player who no one else can match for ability in this division. We have seen a degree of petulance on the pitch from AT which certain fans have used to demonise the player as some sort of anti christ and I just don't get it.

We had no harder working player in the final third than Taarabt last season, you can see that from the amount of efforts he had on goal which more often than not were real shooting opportunities made by himself and were it not for the woodwork and some wayward shooting he would have easily doubled his goal tally last year. It then frustrates me to hear Taarabt being describe as lazy because he isn't tracking back every 5 mins. I'll tell you another thing if he loses possession he does his best to get back, why? Because he constantly wants the ball and going back at the opposition on the attack.

AT is simply not happy to collect his wages each week he loves playing football. Ok he liable to storm off down the tunnel at the end of a game when things don't go his way or when substituted instead hanging around shaking the oppositions hands after defeat, but who cares he is a winner, I wish the rest of the squad wanted to win that much and be a match winner.

Off the pitch I have heard AT is a model professional, he is teetotal and religious and is part of community here in London. You don't hear off AT falling out of night clubs at 3am with a couple of tarts on his arms, beating people up in wine bars or shagging team mates wives. These are the sort of things which give someone an attitude problem IMO yet because he is an emotional player he gets frustrated and constantly wants to do something special he has an attitude???

Flair players more often begin life as individual talents and become team players as their career progresses. More often than not it takes a bit of nurturing from the right manager to make things click. To have so much confidence and ambition at such a young age should not be used as a stick to beat the individual. So we are not his first choice, so what, we are a mid table CCC side who can't even fill our ground, believe me we are not the most attractive proposition to a player like AT. We are reported to be the only club in for but in truth no one knows the full situation and it maybe no one can match our offer or guarantee him first team football like we can.

I just hope if he does sign a certain section of our support get off his back and stop looking for reasons to hate AT and welcome him with open arms like we should because from where I'm sitting he is not the one with the attitude problem.

Good post m8.

Great post.

I think to say that Paul (I presume you mean) has launched a "venomous tirade" is wide of the mark. So he doesn't rave about him like most of us, that's football. Adel isn't everyone's cup of tea, bradley allen and one of main guys on bbc london don't rate him either.
Personally he's a young lad and likes a sulk, so what? I've never really been concerned by his effort or lack of it. He's class in my view and if we get for £1m it's an absolute steal.

Any "attitude" is the price paid for genius!!!

Adel Tarabt is in the true tradition of Rangers greats

Rodney. Stanley, Simon Stainrod, Roy Wegerle, Tony Currie to name but a few.

We should give him the number 10 shirt!!!!!

Both quotes spot on!!!

I will say it again all the top flair players bar messi love a moan and throw their hands up!! it's part of their game, take that away from Ronaldo, Robinho, Ronaldinho & Quaresma etc etc, they wouldnt be play like they do.

Hats off to you sir cracking post, couldn't be more spot on! Well done

[Dando]

good post, and if anyone can sort out his problem of passing and any improvements on attitude, theres nobody better than Warnock. Signing Adel would be the best signing we have made in years, and he could potentially go on to be a top world player. Signing him at all would be quality, even at £2 million i think would be a steal - let along £1 million reported! You wont get better talent in this division

[gilly]

Seems to me it's some of our fans who have an attitude problem.
