QPR manager Harry Redknapp has indicated that he would reject any attempt by Fulham to send Adel Taarabt back to Loftus Road next month.
New Whites boss René Meulensteen recently appeared to suggest that Taarabt may not stay at the Premier League club beyond January if he fails to impress him.
However, there is no option in the season-long loan deal enabling Fulham to send the Moroccan back early – and Redknapp seems in no mood to offer Taarabt an olive branch. But should he, if the chance arises to take him back?

Well like it or not, sooner or later we will get him back, cant see fulham taking up the option to buy him. We should have sold him the season after we got promoted when people were talking about him being worth £10m +, we would be lucky to get a fiver for him these days.
He should swap places with Darren Fletcher of Manchester United to see Dedication/commitment/Passion, and then perhaps he might realise what the word Professional really means
No thanks. As the others have said although Adel under Warnock was a joy these days he obviously thinks he's too good to show up for training on time or watch his weight. He's destroying his career which is a great shame - but I'd prefer it if he destroyed it somewhere else.
No thanks, we are doing just fine without him. This Adel business is really getting boring now.
Much as I was a Taarabt fan while he was managed by Neil Warnock, the Taarabt that exists in the post NW era isn't a patch on the former.
Sadly, Adel has proved himself to be unreliable, un-committed and, seemingly, too lazy to break into a very poor Fulham side that looks destined to swap divisions with QPR next season.
As a result, the answer to your question has to be an emphatic no. The Adel of today, isn't a patch on the old one and his career looks like it's on the downward curve that no-one can turn around.
Get him back he will get us promoted then sell him as he isent good enough for the premier league
