Defensive midfielder?  |  |

"A few years later at QPR, Harry Redknapp described him “three stone overweight.” Both are probably close to being true."
Sigh..."Harry Redknapp...true." |  |

Think the article makes too light that he's playing next to Weigl doing the water carrying, but still, marvellous stuff.
In fairness his game at false 9 vs Chelsea - one of the great modern individual QPR peformances - was disciplined and intelligent as it gets. |  | | |

On one level this is the strangest reinvention ever, but thinking about it Taarabt was always very difficult to knock off the ball, and could always pass (if in the mood). |  |

Yeah there's a lot of old school "all-action snarling defensive" verbiage there but as a deep lying ~press resistant~ dribbler he's very on trend.

Definitely. I can see a role and player like Taraabt being someone like Guardiola’s wet dream.
In fact, watching those videos - I wouldn’t be surprised if one the top boys takes a punt on him again. He looks absolutely unplayable, some of the best individual performances I’ve ever seen.
God I love that man. I miss singing the song... and seeing Matt Mills meltdown as he guts nutmegged for the third time in a row. |  |

Remember when Warnock said any player passing to Taarabt in our half would be fined? | |

He's too fat to get up and down. Basically doing what #announceRavel tried to do when he came on for one match about 3 seasons ago. |  | | |

Watching the video he has become a Stevie G type player. Much fitter and slimmer than ever before and much stronger. Still has all the skill and class but looks like a complete player now. Wish we could get him back! Exactly what we need and interesting to see how he sits in that Faurlin type position as well now. |  |

We’d get some fans moaning that he isn’t like the old Adel. |  | | |

Laughable. Can't tackle can't head the ball. [Post edited 8 Feb 2020 11:41]

Watching videos, he certainly can tackle, and not being able to head the ball not such a big issue in the continental game.
Can't be that laughable, seeing as he's a regular and they've won 18 out of 19. |  |

Good luck to him, he was always an intelligent player but needed man management which did not come from managers following Warnock being sacked. Exceptionally rare genius who our fans did not always appreciate. Also illustrated what a great manager Warnock was and the stupidity of sacking him in the Premier League. | | | |

You've misremembered. After promotion Warnock couldn't or wouldn't handle him either.
