[Qprchris]

Queens Park Rangers are today under increasing pressure to offload Joey Barton after it emerged Adel Taarabt has told the club he will not play in the same team as the controversial midfielder.

Well perhaps Taarabt should f*ckoff then!

[QPRdan3]

**** them both I say.. That's pathetic

[maddix]

To be honest (If this is true) I'm quite pleased the Adel has come out and said this . I think we will struggle to sign better quality players while Barton is around !!

Try and do a deal with his wages an F**K him off out of the club once and for all !!

[QPRDave]

So Adel wants QPR to chuck £11 mill down the drain just for him?? boll*cks to that

"The Rangers hierarchy are fully aware Barton has become a disruptive presence in the squad. Rumours of a dressing room rift persisted throughout last season and it is understood that Barton and Taarabt have not been on speaking terms for several months following two separate training ground incidents.

Barton is believed to have launched into rash tackles on the Moroccan international after becoming irritated by his relaxed attitude towards training. It is understood that Taarabt’s lawyers contacted the club to warn them they would sue Barton if he injured their client in training."

Whether Adel is right or wrong on this I don't know but that is the cost of having Joey Barton in the squad.

Bartons out till november and even then he may not even be in the 25 squad (thats based on us keeping him) or he may be fcked off anyway by the club.
To be fair they played ok in the final 1/3 of the season so not sure whats changed if anything. Same old cobblers from Standard.

No love lost between them from a very long time ago.

Adel or Barton?

No brainer for me. Bye Joey.

If that is true it's kind of understandable.

No brainer for Hughes can't see him choosing Barton if it was a straight choice.

Shocking article....makes it out like adel actually said that. All hearsay at the moment...but wouldn't read to much into this.

[QPRDave]

So Taarabt picks the team now? F*ck him no one is bigger than QPR, the trouble is Adel has been hero worshipped and now thinks he's the man, if he has said this, i get rid of him too

Before you #### Adel off, can you tell me where he has actually been quoted saying this?
