Everton lining up exciting Taarabt bid

Everton Football Club are preparing a summer bid for Adel Taarabt.

The Moroccan international may have failed to make the grade at Tottenham Hotspur, but he has been sensational since signing for Queens Park Rangers.

Taarabt, who has been voted the Championship Player of the Year, has led the Hoops to the brink of promotion back to the Premier League.

However, Neil Warnock faces a fight to retain the 21-year-old, with a number of clubs from home and abroad said to be keeping tabs on his performances.

The latest club who are believed to be lining up a summer bid is Everton, with David Moyes prepared to pay around £8million to land the midfielder.

QPR wait on Adel Taarabt injury

QPR are sweating on the fitness of Adel Taarabt ahead of tomorrow's trip to Barnsley.

The mercurial Moroccan missed Saturday's drubbing against strugglers Scunthorpe with a stomach problem.

But the former Spurs star could return at Oakwell if he gets the all-clear from the doctor.

Boss Neil Warnock said: "We're waiting for the doctor's report to decide whether to bring him up by car later today."

Scouts urge Real Madrid to go for QPR star Taarabt

Real Madrid are weighing up a shock swoop for QPR star Adel Taarabt.

Marca says Real scouts have delivered glowing reports on the formerTottenham reject to sports director Jorge Valdano.

Taarabt has inspired QPR this season to within touching distance of promotion to the Premier League.

Real are seeking to overhaul their midfield options in the summer - but on a budget - and believe they can land Taarabt for less than £10 million.

Pedro Leon, Sergio Canales, Fernando Gago, Esteban Granero and Lassana Diarra are all under the gun.

Taarabt AND Routledge doubts for Scunny

Adel Taarabt's stomach problems have not improved and he has not trained at all this week. The scan which was suggested as happening on Tuesday did not, apparently, take place. Instead, Taarabt has been resting. 

However, a scan is set for this coming Monday, should he continue to suffer. Warnock told the Ealing Gazette:'It may just be a little strain, but we may need a scan to appease his mind. We don't know what it is, though, it's just a pain in his stomach.'

The worry is that Wayne Routledge did not train today either - because of a sore ankle. It was apparently a precaution but, in light of the appalling state of Scunthorpe's notorious pitch, it's possible that Warnock will not play Routledge - bearing in mind we have to go back up north on Tuesday evening to face Barnsley.

I guess that, if Taarabt doesn't play, his able deputy at Doncaster, Hogan Ephraim, will resume his role. But is there an argument for including Akos Buzsaky from the start?

Well, whoever plays, I'm glad it's not me who has to make the decision - Warnock's doing a superb job so I'll leave it all up to him!
