Before anyone dismisses Tomspurs' info out of hand, I suggest you check his posting record. His first post here said we'd be signing Taarabt. This appeared several hours ahead of the news in l'Equipe. I'm not sure when the ITKs on COYS and FTL posted their info.
One certain fact is that Taarabt hasn't figured for us in any role since a ressies game on 3rd September, in which his performance left BOF, Eddie and SpursOdyssey's match reporter seriously unimpressed. He may have been involved in a youth tournament in France, but I've yet to hear of a youth tournament lasting two-and-a-half months. Draw your own conclusions.
I wouldn't assert that Taarabt would not fit into a Ramos side, but from what I've seen of Sevilla JR's checklist for players that float his boat probably doesn't include boxes for fannying about and wanting your own personal ball. I don't imagine that Jol's did, either.
