Intro:

QPR boss Harry Redknapp launched into an astonishing attack against his midfielder Adel Taarabt, claiming the Moroccan is overweight and not fit to play football.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English), Harry Redknapp:

"No he is not fit, he is not fit to play football unfortunately. He played in a reserve team game the other day, and I could have run about more than he did. So no, I can't pick him. I pick people that want to try, and deserve to be at a good football club like QPR, and want to work, and come in every day and want to work, and train, and show a good attitude - and that's what I got today from the players. When he starts doing that, whether he ever can do it, maybe he'll get a game."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Harry Redknapp:

"No, it's the same old people. Same old people. We've got two or three of them but the other lads - I've got a fantastic group of lads here, absolutely superb, all of them. I just got asked and answered - I can't keep protecting people who don't want to run about and train, who are about three stone overweight. What am I supposed to keep saying, keep getting your 60, 70 grand a week but
don't train? What's the game coming to? The others are as good as gold. Good as gold."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Harry Redknapp:

Question: But you just said there were two or three?

"No, I was over exaggerating, there is not two, I can't think of another two. The other lads are as good as gold, fantastic, all of them."
