Taarabt deal off

[Rieger]

Sound plausable, I had heard that the figures quoted in the press were totally exadurated and the figure proposed by PSG was more like 8m.

Hopefully no other bids come in and Warnock can get Adel up for the first half of the season. If he can and Taarabt does the business in the Premiership everyone wins. We get the first half of the season with Taarabt and hopefully that will go a long way to keeping us up and Adel get's his big move in January (hopefully for a bigger fee).

That figure 8million was also reported by the press. (Well SSN).

I must have missed that mate. Most of the articles I read were quoting figures up at around 15m.

If Spurs are due 30-40% of any transfer fee I really don't see any point at all in selling Taarabt for anything like 8m.

[Wrighty]

Would Dyer not play in Routledges place?

Really hope AT stays, feels like a new signing again, especially as we were not gonna see any of the money from his sale!

[qprrulelondon]

how about the take over is going to happen soon,but part of that deal was that AT had to stay ??????????????

[WeAreQPR12]

We have to keep our mist gifted player.

The fact we have no money and doubful we will sign anyone, at least with Adel we only need Bothroyd up top on his own, if Adel leave we would need to revert to a 442 unless Buzz can get fit. I don't see Dyer as the answer but if he still has some pace i'd play him, tommy smith and adel as the attacking 3 behind Bothroyd

hahaha suprising how the 18th takeover rumour can cause so much blind hope

Its from the the french media and appartently they only offered 6m euros and then came back with 8m euros and we want 10m euros + and for that type of money no deal.

Anyone who thinks losing a player involved in 40 of our goals last season is a good thing is frankly an idiot. Given we are not spending this is the best thing that could have happened. Now get him on the Italy tour and let Warnock get back inside his head

Perfectly put and totally agree.

Totally agree but I hope he doesn't still think he should be captain!!

[sirpiechucker]

I really think this would be cause a massive problem for NW. He now seems to love Kieron Dyer and I am sure if he is fit, he will want to play him and he has been playing him in 'Taarabts' role, behind the striker and Faurlin looks set to be captain. Add to that I don't think many of the players like him for what ever reason and IMO, things will get messy, as I don't think they will accept what they had to last season. Taarabt was superb for us last year and I am sure we would not have been promoted as Champions without him (as well as Kenny, Hill, Derry, Mackie etc), but now is the time for him to move on.

I think NW will be glad of the headache.

Look it this way, Dyer gets injured and then what? You have to have options for injuries, lack of form and suspensions. You've said yourself without him we wouldn't have won promotion. The same promotion which has made a lot of our players a pretty penny in bonuses. How many would still be at the club? Would Ramage, Cerny, Helguson and Shittu all have contract new contracts? How many of this squad would ever have had a chance of Premiership football? Yes, last season was a team effort but without his extra bit of class we may not have even finished in the top 6 and the players know that.

They'll put up with his strops if he translates that form into Premiership form. If he doesn't then Neil has Dyer as an alternative. I'd rather that headache then if Dyer was injured because there was no Taraabt and be asking ourselves what do we do now?

As Posted yesterday, the deal broke down because Flav wanting the majority of the cash upfront

[BUSHRANGER1982]

I'd be over-the-moon if we kept Adel.
He's by far and away the very best player we have on our books, and we would be mugging ourselves off if we sold him at this time for less than £20million.
Add to that the fact we have some of the tightest, most ill-suited to owning a football club ****s, any club was unfortunate enough to be lumbered with, and any news regarding a sale of Adel Taarabt falling through, is possibly the best news we've had all pre-season on the transfer front, and let's face it, with those two mugs in charge still, the only real piece of good news we'll have this transfer window more than likely.

Come on, Bernie, Flavio, fook off for fook's sake, will ya? Please, pretty please.

Couldn't agree more Baldrick . Paul I'm also depressed at the state of the club but don't see negatives everywhere. This is, potentially, one of the very few positives. Tabs virtually was QPR last season. Where you do have a point is the danger that Warno thinks he will keep hold of him so builds his team round him again, then a few days before the Bolton game he disappears to Spain or France for not even particularly large amounts of money.

If NW really wanted Taarabt to stay or Taarabt was tempted to stay, he would be in Cornwall, with NW telling him how good and important he is to the team, like he was this time last year, whilst getting match fit with his team mates and going to Italy. NW would also be building his team around him in the training sessions and friendlies...................... but he is not and the season starts in 3 weeks, and AT is doing what exactly at Harlington, as all the coaches are with NW and the team.
