Do I look fat? Adel Taarabt hits back at Harry Redknaap


Moroccan Adel Taarabt slams QPR manager for calling him fat and saying he is three stone overweight. In an interview with Daily Mail Taarabt not only showed his body (which is hot by the way) to prove he isn't fat, he also criticized Redknaap's managerial skill. Taarabt said:
"He spends most of the time in his office but when he gets off the phone he comes down to watch for five or 10 minutes - he never takes a session. That's when he said he had it in mind to start me against Liverpool. continue...


I am a professional - this is not about retaliation, this is about protecting my reputation. I played in that reserve game for 90 minutes and if he didn't think I was running he could have taken me off. Maybe I didn't perform like I could because it was a reserve team game and I was protecting myself. 
Just because we are losing games I am not going to kick the ball in the stands. My job is to create, bring goals to the team. Maybe he expects me to make more tackles. I am not this type of player. I can only get fitness playing Premier League. You can train six or seven hours, but you won't be fit."
Taarabt didn't even make Liverpool's bench on Sunday.
