Harry Redknaap replies Adel Tarrabt as the saga continues....

Harry Redknaap on Saturday accused Adel Tarrabt of being fat and lazy during the post-match conference (Read here) and Tarrabt in an interview with Daily Mail posed for a picture in which slim and also claimed Redknaapp is always on the phone and not on the training ground (Read here).

One would think Redknaap would just let the matter die down but no he decides to reply Tarrabt, I don't know who is better between Redknaap and Mourinho. Redknaap claims Tarrabt only lost weight because he was ill and even himself (Redknaap) could suck his stomach in to pose for a picture and look good. continue..

Redknaap said:

"The only reason he has lost weight is because he had tonsillitis. That's the only way we could get any weight off of him. He is not fit to play a game, that's the truth. He is the worst professional I have ever come across and I have been his only ally at QPR for the past three years. He doesn't try and I have protected him for too long. Even I could suck my stomach in for a picture and look OK.

I am the first one in that training ground every day at 7am and I am always out on the training field. When we were last in the Premier League we played Manchester United at home on a Saturday lunchtime. I had a phone call telling me Adel had been in a casino until 5am that morning. I pulled him into my office and asked whether it was true. He told me that he hadn't been in a casino until 5am Friday morning but that he might have been there on Thursday morning. 

After we had relegated last year we went to Exeter to prepare for a season in the Championship. I had to leave to go and have an operation on my knee. Steve McClaren was working with me at the time As soon as I left he sent Adel home because he wasn't up to it. The fitness coaches at QPR, everybody tells me he doesn't try. He doesn't want to run around. I have tried to protect him until now but the fans have to know what's going on. If something comes off this and it sparks some life into him then great. I would love him to prove me wrong then at least we'd be getting something for our money."

lol...imagine Redknaap sucking his stomach in to look OK.
