Watching Swansea vs Leeds and Scot Sinclair caught my eye. There's got be talent that we could poach before they start costing 10m plus?

Well, he flopped at chelsea, so i doubt it.
Has no one noticed Tarrabt at QPR.
No topflight experience but by good he's been special for them this season. Bit of a wild card but he has creativity flowing through him. Unusual for a Warnock team.

+1 spion.
Someone, I think pasim* was hawking him a few months back and he's looked like a very talented footballer onto few occasions I've seen him since.
Although I think he would cost circa 10m.

No, wasn't me. I usually try and pinpoint some players who are "under the radar" comparitvely speaking and Taraabt has been highlighted as a potential top player for a while now. He can be a lazy fucker and he's incredibly selfish but he certainly has great ability. Apparantly Fergiscum was planning a "shock" move for him recently but was unimpressed with how selfish Taraabt was in a game televised on SKY and he didn't bid.
He has the same attitude and ability as Cantona and there is a chance that he could do a similar job as Cantona for a Premier league team and have a talismanic affect. Trouble is he'd cost at least £12m and he could just end up being a lazy, selfish substitute.
Scott Sinclair is decent but not an option for a team with top 4 aspirations.

Are you pasim, dancing brave?
[/quote]
Yeah, I was Pasim by day and DB by night (and weekends) due to log-in problems at home but now I'm DB 24/7 because I forgot my login for Pesam/Pasim.
Brizzle, QPR loaned Taraabt on a couple of occasions last season but signed him permanently this summer. I can't find it listed how much they paid but I remember at the time being quite surprised how little it was - I think the rumour was about £2m although I'd expect they might have to pay a bonus fee if they get promoted which seems likely.

If I had to predict which Championship players would be most likely successful in the EPL I would say...............
1. Andy King (Leicester)
2. Ashley Williams (Swansea)
3. Darren Pratley (Swansea)
4. Adel Taraabt (QPR)
5. Nicky Maynard (Bristol City)
6. Danny Graham (Watford)
Of the younger crowd; Wickham (Ipswich), Zaha (Palace) & Barton (Preston) all look excellent prospects.

I know a couple of QPR fans and while that Taarabt kid is said to take the piss in terms of his dribbling ability etc. they reckon he also takes the piss in how much of a ballhog he is.
Apparently there was a game a little while ago where he tried to take on the entire defense when there were other players in good positions, he lost the ball, didn't track back and the other team broke and scored, losing them the game. They didn't like him much

Decent shout. Good replacement for N'gog as 4th choice striker this summer?
[/quote]
I'm a huge fan of Maynard's Whitey and reckon he could make it at a top 4 EPL team.
Regarding Binny's post above, Zaha would cost us half as much (I reckon) as Wickham and has every bit as much a chance of being a top player as Wickham although they're totally different types of players.

How can they not like him much?
With him this season I doubt they would be in the top 2, he's been their best player and driving force in the attack.

They love him Rubans but find him hugely frustrating sometimes because he doesn't always seem to play for the team.

Just read that he's leading the assists chart with 19, 9 ahead of 2nd place. (Other sites had him at 15 and 5 ahead though). Interestingly, he was brought in to Tottenham by Comolli.
