i love flair players at rangers, marsh, stan, currie , wegerle etc and i think adel fits into that mould . so ill im sad he has gone but i cant wish the lad luck as he has gone to foolham! oh and before anyone starts , when i say he fits into that mould , i dont mean he is any where near as good as those said players!
AND WHEN I DREAM , I DREAM ABOUT YOU AND WHEN I SCREAM I SCREAM ABOUT YOU!!!!!
Turning up on a cold Saturday, having paid a fortune for a ticket, seeing Adel Taarabt on the teamsheet always improved the mood.
Yes he frustrated, yes he acted like a child, yes the club will live on long after he’s gone, but when you talk about memories, players giving you thing’s to chat about in the pub, players doing skills you can’t even do in your dreams, this guy was the one. The most frustrating thing for me was not his behaviour and laziness, it was that he could have done even more. He has a frightening amount of ability, probably only playing to about 90% of what he’s capable of. Chelsea away last season, where he cut out a lot of the nuts tricks and greediness, and just manipulated the Football and acted as a regular outlet for us, was first class. His cameo at Villa where they couldn’t get near him or his single handed demolition of Fulham were just a couple of highlights.
The guy will always be remembered fondly by me. I’m just disappointed he moved down the road. I have nothing against Fulham, but I don’t think it’s the right move for us, although an excellent one for him and them. Should he have a top season for Fulham do you think we’ll see him again? Of course we won’t. A sad end, to a Football genius.
Tempestuous, childish, spoilt, selfish.....but what a player. A real out-of-your seats type player that we have seen so little of in recent times. He was so often frustrating and seemingly so difficult to manage, but surely this is the type of player you pay to watch football for. In terms of natural ability, the best player we will see at QPR for a long long time
But this is football and things move on. Wish him all the best at Fulham and wherever he ends up after that.
Obviously things have turned sour, whether HR just doesn't fancy him, or Adel has been unprofessional or unwilling to step down but I'd be amazed to see him in hoops again. I don't see this as a loan move to keep him ticking over for us to pick up again next season, it surely has to be a shop window exercise. If we sold him now we'd get next to nothing, especially with Tottenham's sell-on clause attached. Give him a year at a solid stable Premier League club, if he excels then we're quids in, if he flatters to deceive then who knows what happens next.
Fingers crossed he does well and gets his head right so that he goes on to play on the big stage that his talent deserves
I guess it's for the best,I'd liked to have seen an initial loan until Xmas.We could then seen where we stood in the league,and if he was playing well,we could have used him for the remainder of the season.Of course,there is no guarantees that he would have wanted to come back and play for us. It's a shame if we don't see him in a rangers shirt again,but I'll always remember some of the goals he scored for us,especially Cardiff and Swansea at home.

Nicely put,Phil. Spot on from simmo and a great post from Merthyr too.
False 9 in front of newly installed Harry at Stamford Bridge 2/1/13 he was absolutely fookin magnificent.Worked his socks off. Missed the penalty v Norwich and that was that. Died-in-the wool 4-4-2 devotee Harry had no wish,plan B or strategy or tactics to deploy him again.
Forget the fluctuating weight,the lateness for training and other occasional unprofessional babyish strops & misdemeanours, without doubt Adel Taarabt has been the most skilful,entertaining player that we have been privileged to watch at Loftus Road this century and some can only come up with 'f*ck off c*nt' or for the 6th time cheaply denigrate AT 'fan boys'.
The best goal assist pass I've ever seen for QPR live. Extraordinary peripheral vision and technique that no other 21st century QPR squad member is capable of.
Remember with respect the joy he gave:
Now let's move on to promotion 2013/14..YOU RRRRRRRRRssssssss!!!!!!!!!

Love,Peace and Fook Chelski!
More like 20StoneOfHoop now.
Let's face it I'm not getting any thinner.
Pass the cake and pies please.
Warnock got superlative performance out of him by basically holding his todger, but damn!, what performance!
He is the best player to wear our colours since Sir Les. Let any manager justify his decision to not give him special treatment show how that improved the team's performance.
I wish him well, he's a bit of QPR for me - maverick genius, self-destructive, unpredictable, passionate.
Never been that fussed about Fulham, always Chelsea for me, hope he smashes it up next year and get to watch him at his best on Match of The Day, because at his best - forget for a moment about all the rest , the tracking back etc - he is one of the best in the world.
If not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled. PG Wodehouse
Good luck to him. I enjoyed watching him play and I'm grateful to him for what he did for us but the time has come for the parting of the ways. It'll be interesting to see how his career develops from here.

I love him but I wouldn't go that far. He's not quite in the xavi, iniesta, messi or pirlo class yet.
Sad day for QPR. We've just lost a special player who would of torn this league a new one like he did a couple of season's ago. Looking forward to Konk's unbiased assesments of him. Good luck Adel. No 1 Fan Boy . Pom..
Yes that tradition must be maintained somehow. But no one at the moment at the club fits the bill now that Adel has gone. The only one with the potential flair to wear it is Hoillett. He at least is a running with ball player, but I am clutching at straws.

Good post and I agree. He also deserves a club that is well run with a solid infrastructure, this has been a clusterfck of a club for a lot of years that has really failed players when it comes to development and consistency. I am sure Adel will get both at Fulham, which is why we probably wont see him again...
Puts an end to the claims that he didn't want to leave.

How does it, though? Even if he did want to stay (and none of us will probably ever know for sure) if the club accept an offer for any player they usually go, as they realise they're not wanted.
"This was a difficult decision for me, but at this stage of my career I feel I need to be playing at the top level.
“I hope the fans understand my decision and I really hope to return to Loftus Road one day."
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."

"Earlier this summer Taarabt informed the club of his desire to leave QPR, citing his wish to play in the Premier League following our relegation to the Championship."
