These QPR fans have been reacting to throwback footage of Adel Taarabt, a very popular player who played 164 times for the west London side.
Taarabt scored 34 goals for QPR, with spells in the Premier League and the Championship, however, the Moroccan born midfielder only scored seven goals in England’s top division for the Superhoops. The 30-year-old amazingly managed to get even more assists than goals, getting 42 in total for the west London side.
Here’s what the QPR fans had to say about the Adel Taarabt footage:

Now a decently hard working box to box midfielder at Benfica, one of the weirdest careers of all time

Was Adel Taarabt the most skillful QPR player ever?
Yes
No
It’ll be interesting to see if Taarabt would ever think about a return to QPR, with the skilful midfielder being 30 years old now, he could return for one last blast in a league he’s proved to be so comfortable in.
What a player he was for us https://t.co/eocS4vJDDk

What Do We Think?
It would be amazing to see Adel Taarabt playing for QPR again, especially in the Championship due to the success he had at that level, however, the Moroccan is 30-years-old now, so perhaps he wouldn’t be the player he once was, which could make his return to west London a depressing one.
