TrentVilla Posted October 9, 2014 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2014 Harry Redknapp releasing yet another book saying he was close to signing Suarez but blames his scouts and then claims that he nearly signed Vieira for Spurs. Shouldn't he and Rio be concentrating on their current clubs plight. Suarez would have happened as well but he didn't fancy the house Redknapp was flogging.

ArteSuave Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Taarabt has come out swinging to defend him against 'Arry's slanderous accusations. Scathing criticism of scrotal face's training methods and tactical understanding too. I said “but the problem is we don’t have any plan in the game, we don’t know how to press as a team. It’s not about just running around, you need to play with your brain”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The training sessions aren’t the same standard as Milan, or what I would expect under another manager. They are not as intense, the players aren’t as motivated…He (Redknapp) 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 not a good reflection on Arry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2014 My immediate reaction when I heard 'Arry's claims was "well that's a lie" I apply that to everything he says to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I hate Harry as much as the next man and Taraabt doesn't exactly look fat in that picture. However Taraabt himself said in this "stinging attack" that he is currently 85kg. Does that not seem pretty heavy for someone who is 5ft 8?

He's not 5'8 He's 5 foot 10 or 11 (depending on what source you use) It's towards the top end of healthy/overweight. But you'd expect an athlete who would be carrying a bit of muscle to be a bit higher than average. You can see from his physique above that he's not exactly skinny for a footballer. But he's not 3 stone overweight either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Scathing criticism of scrotal face's training methods Richard Dunne has come out an said that QPR aren't fit enough to stay up. 'Arry is a dinosaur and a lazy one at that. He just hires a seemingly infinite amount of coaches to do training and signs a seemingly infinite amount players with no accountability for the money he wastes.

a m ole Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 not sure why Taarabt is so proud of that picture, he's in terrible shape for a professional athlete. There's footballers up and down the Sunday Leagues in way better shape. Not everyone has to be ripped like Ronaldo but if he can't last 90 minutes of football he deserves to be called out for it. Having said that, I'm not surprised Harry doesn't have a clue about conditioning a team for this level and while players should be looking after their own fitness it's embarrassing for him and his training methods having a squad so out of shape.

villaglint Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 OK another finger in the eye for Wikipedia who I used to get his height. Still sounds heavy to me even giving him an allowance for extra muscle. Though as you say the 3 stone comment was Harry being his usual self.

ArteSuave Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Taarabt has never been in good shape though and if he's to be believed he's been the same weight he is now for ages. It didn't seem to hinder him at Milan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 not sure why Taarabt is so proud of that picture, he's in terrible shape for a professional athlete. But clearly not three stone overweight as 'Arry claimed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But clearly not three stone overweight as 'Arry claimed. I'm sure I don't have to explain hyperbole to you? journalists were poking 'Arry trying to figure out why, with QPRs form, a talented player wasn't in the squad. It was his misguided way of saying the player isn't in shape and isnt doing much about it - it wouldn't change much if he'd said "a little overweight" or "100 stone overweight" if he's not fit he can't play.
