Adel Taarabt

"No he is not fit, he is not fit to play football unfortunately. He played in a reserve team game the other day, and I could have run about more than he did. So no, I can't pick him. I pick people that want to try, and deserve to be at a good football club like QPR, and want to work, and come in every day and want to work, and train, and show a good attitude - and that's what I got today from the players.When he starts doing that, whether he ever can do it, maybe he'll get a game."

Harry Redknapp who lost to Liverpool at the weekend said he have fantastic group of lads he also added that he can't protect players who are not ready to train.

"No, it's the same old people. Same old people. We've got two or three of them but the other lads - I've got a fantastic group of lads here, absolutely superb, all of them. I just got asked and answered - I can't keep protecting people who don't want to run about and train, who are about three stone overweight. What am I supposed to keep saying, keep getting your 60, 70 grand a week but
don't train? What's the game coming to? The others are as good as gold. Good as gold." ~ Redknapp
Question: But you just said there were two or three?
"No, I was over exaggerating, there is not two, I can't think of another two. The other lads are as good as gold, fantastic, all of them." He added
