Taarabt unsure over qpr future
Adel Taarabt has put his future at Queens Park Rangers in doubt by refusing to confirm he will stay at the club despite them having just secured promotion to the Premier League.
"I don't know yet [if I will stay at QPR]," said Taarabt. "I'm very happy with what I've achieved but now we have all summer and after that I will see the manager [Neil Warnock], see what they want to do and then we will take a decision.
"He [Warnock] has been great. My season is a lot to do with him because he has given me 100% belief and trust. Even if I don't pay well for one or two games, he still plays me. He has done a lot for me. In football you have to meet somebody who gives you a chance, for me that person is Neil – nobody else."
The 21-year-old has been an integral part of QPR's success this campiagn, captaining the club to the Championship title – which was secured with a 2-0 win at Watford last Saturday, pending an Football Association hearing into their purchase of Alejandro Faurlín – and scoring 19 goals in the process. The Moroccan, who signed from Tottenham last summer following two loan spells at Loftus Road, was also named the division's player of the season.
Following the victory at Vicarage Road, Warnock admitted his own concerns over Taarabt's future but warned it would be a mistake for the free-spirited midfielder to leave QPR just yet. He said: "Adel's at a very crucial period in his career now because he can't do what he's done with us in the Premier League and progress.
"He's got the ability to be one of the best in the world but he's got to be more dedicated, he's got to listen to me and take it on board. He's got everything in his locker but if he went somewhere now and it was the wrong place we'd probably get him back at Christmas on loan."
Should QPR survive this week's FA hearing and take a place in the top-flight for the first time since 1996, Tarrabt feels confident the club can avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
"I know with this manager they can achieve something," he said. "I don't know what the target is for next season, but right now we just have to enjoy this moment. We have rich owners, which helps, but it is their money and they can do what they want with it."
