QPR’s Adel Taarabt being linked with a move to Napoli

Ah, our old friend Adel Taarabt. What a difference six months makes; from being desperate to keep their Moroccan playmaker, QPR are seemingly now doing everything they can to get rid of him.

According to The Metro – yes, I know – Rangers are now willing to accept around half of the original £15m fee they were said to be demanding from Paris Saint Germain in the Summer. That’s really quite revealing, because under the terms of his transfer from Tottenham, Spurs would be due 40% of any fee – Neil Warnock’s has clearly had enough of the player’s diva-ish behaviour and generally dour form.

Napoli are supposedly now at the front of the queue for the Moroccan. Good luck to them – this is a player who will never be quite as good as he thinks he is.
