Suits us.

Priskin was so bad last seaon, people speculated he had a 'must play if fit' clause in his contract, I wonder if Taarabt has similar in his contract other wise he would quit by the sounds of it if he was ever 'rested', because he would see it as being disrespected.

Adel Taarabt has boosted Queens Park Rangers's Premier League bid by quitting the Morocco national side.

The former Spurs midfielder has inspired Neil Warnock's side to the top of the Championship in an unbeaten start to the season.

Taarabt, 21, has now turned his back on international football after flying to Tanzania for an African Cup of Nations tie - only to be left on the bench by coach Dominique Cuperly.

'I will stop playing for Morocco this season,' the playmaker said. 'I want to concentrate on my club, as the national team disrespected me. The fact I was called up to face Tanzania and not used did not please me at all. I want to play all the time, so I'm retiring as I did not play for them.

'I spent 22 hours on aeroplanes, I did not play and nobody explained to me why. The Moroccan FA has invited me to play against Northern Ireland next month - but I don't plan to respond favourably.'

Difference is Priskin is pants, Adel is quality and plays because he is the most talented player in the league.

Think you will find has been the only player man marked in the championship on at least 3 occasions?

Opposing teams must be a bit scared of his ability.

You're right though would be interesting to see if he was dropped, how he would react.

if it benefits qpr im happy dudes

[Chalet1882]

Taarabt was unhappy he wasn't used in the 1-0 win over Tanzania after a marathon 22-hour journey and has said he wants to concentrate on club football.

[80sCasual]

Benefits us yeah, but just another show of Adel chucking his toys out of the pram when not getting his way again.

[rodman]

Hmmm. Have to say I see it the other way round.

Think it would benefit us more if he was to concentrate on playing for Morroco and left the remainder of our squad to play as a TEAM.

Thought we looked a lot better without him when he was subbed on Friday.

Unbelievable arrogance for someone so young and achieved diddly squat.

[m_cooper]
