Adel Taarabt leaves Tottenham for QPR

[Matthew Wyatt]

The lad's gone up in my estimations now, i had him down as one of these showboaters who thinks he's better than he is and, whilst he talks the talk, when it comes down to it, i wouldn't be surprised if he turned down at least one mid-table prem side to link up with Warnock again. Obviously made a big impression on him and it shows that he's at least got perspective with his ambition and wants to be in a champ team going up, rather than a prem team going down.

Good luck, you dancin' fool.

This.

I've nothing against Taarabt. Different players have different paths. Crouch became an international player by playing for different Championship and low level Prem clubs and that experience got him to play for two different CL clubs.

Lennon played briefly in League One before joining us and he's becoming a better player through continuously playing at the top end of the Prem.

Taarabt has joined a Championship side that is happy to accomodate for him and who knows in 5 years time he might be one of the best players in Europe. He could just as easily be an exciting player to watch but one not good enough for the truly top team to want him.

We're not the right team for him at the moment as there simply isn't rom for him. We have much better players than him like VDV who can play his role more than adequately enough.

Everyone being you.

Is it too much to ask for this thread to be moved to general football?

Considering he's no longer a spurs player, playing in a different league.

Ive made 2 posts in a multi page thread.

I am interested....

In the logic behind why certain fans feel the need to post in spurs chat every time Tarbaat plays well at Championship level.

Why him, why not any of the many other ex players that have left the Lane in recent times.

Surely I am as entitled to express my views on the subject and question the motives of posters as they are to continue to post about him everytime he scores or plays well.

I could ask you why are you so bothered as to the level of my interest on the subject?

Because he is unusual and exciting.

Because he is unusual and exciting.

So exciting that everytime he plays well the same question gets asked?

This is type of football player groupie shit is as bad as Gibbs and GDS...infact at least GDS is still a spurs player.

Tarbaat is doing quite well at QPR, fair play to him....does that mean we should regret selling him? not really no because doing well at QPR in the Championship bares no reflection on his ability to perform for us.

He was a long long way from ever breaking into our first team and he was of an age where if he was good enough he would have made the break, as he had not the best thing for his career was to move on (like Bentley at Arsenal for example) it doesn't mean he is not good enough to do well and have a decent career just that his time with us had run it's course.

Even if he goes on to be the next Zidane (which he won't) we still won't regret it because he was never going to progress to anything like that level with us.

I really don't see the point of having a thread open to gush about him everytime he plays well in the Championship.

Let it go, he is no longer a Spurs player and to date he has done far less than Kevin Prince Boateng (who lit up the world cup)

In a time where we have the most exciting Spurs team I have ever seen with some amazing talent at our disposal why would any of us regret Taraabt no longer being on our books?

 

[ultimateloner]

It's a relief to both parties selling him. He doesn't look anywhere near good enough for us. An attacking player who won't track back? Someone who could lose the ball in the middle of the pitch? There's no way any Prem team could accomodate that. Not even if you are C.Ronaldo.

What a ball from him for that 2nd goal, sublime.

fantastic.
Wouldn't want him in our starting 11 though. Great skill, but still got a lot to learn about a team game.

Is he 1 footed? the ball he played with the out side of his right you would see players hit with their left if they could. So does he have a left foot :shrug:
I cant remember

 

[dvdhopeful]

Because he is unusual and exciting.

So is finding crabs in your underpants but you wouldn't want to keep them would you?

 

[brett.spurs]

He has more natural ability than anyone in our squad bar VDV, and we let him go for £1m. Whoops.

Luckily you aint in charge.

And now I've heard it all...

 

[yawa]

Clearly people only seem to pay notice to the games where he plays well. Ignoring the multiple games such as QPR v Watford where he was hauled off for being a waste of space and never passing to anyone.

Why does some OCD poster always feel the need to pigeonhole a thread in its correct place? If we are interested in talking about an ex Spurs player why piss on everyones parade? Go put your socks in order to amuse yourself.

Because some of us are more logical than others:shrug:

Actually:

1) It's pretty standard to comment on the quality of threads (or did you miss that somewhere along the way);

2) I am not commenting on the fact that there was a thread in the first place, I am commenting on the fact that it goes quite whenever he is doing the usual Adel stuff (being inconsistent and annoyingly failing to comprehend that it is a team game), and then gets opened whenever he has a decent game at a lower level.

Put it this way, if we had a Ginger Pele Thread and it was opened everytime he had a mediocre game full of commitment wouldn't you think that was a bit bizarre:shrug:

If you love him that much, why don't you go off and have his babies or something (while I put my socks in order):hello:

Or, better still, rather than bothering us with it, just wander around dribbling down your chin muttering to yourself about how wonderful he is:shrug:

If it was in General Football (which is where it belongs) it wouldn't bother me personally because I don't go there - but I would still believe that, conceptually, it is puerile to open it every time he has a decent game, and then letting it tail-off for the games he is being a pain in the Khyner, only to reopen it with fire works (and the implication that our management/board just don't understand) whenever he again does something that looks good - if that is the limits of your understanding of the game fair play to you duh.

Now, be a good chap and toodle-off, eh.

p.s. I don't even know what an OCD is, but if you think I am one that's probably a good thing even if you consider it to be something derogatory:razz:

Twaddle.

Obsessive compulsive disorder

Aint nothing wrong with having it either. Think andyw362 must be anoyed that his thread about Arsenal got moved from Spurs Chat to General Chat.

 

[brett.spurs]

Twaddle.

Go on then, reel off a list of Spurs players with more footballing ability than Adel.

 

[SpunkyBackpack]

Its like you guys have dumped a gf you had who was really hot, i mean when she did herself up she was proper hot, but most of the time she was whiny and annoying and sat around in jogging bottoms being a bit scummy, you lost patience and dumped her, as you should have.


Now she's got a new bloke, a bloke who's not as awesome as you but cos he pays more attention to her she does herself up a bit more often, and you keep seeing her around and you get a bit jealous and forget how crap she was at being a gf.


And she was french, let it go.

Obviously he's been reading some zany way-out (man) books - what was it Mark E. Smith said:think: Oh, yeah: "The old Golden Savages killed their philosophers, thought brought the drought about...":duh::rofl:

I must remember not to show even a hint of logic as it may offend him/set him off on a murderous rampage against the corrupters of the natural state:duh:

I am an OCD, though:grin:

Nice assist for the goal. Walker looked good too.
