       Liverpool offer surprise exchange deal to land £12m playmaker

       Metro are claiming that the Reds are prepared to cut their losses on the England international after a disastrous first season on Merseyside in order to land the player they feel Cole should be. The former Chelsea man arrived from Stamford Bridge last summer but was promptly sent off on his début against Arsenal and missed a crucial penalty in a Europa League tie against Trabzonspor. Injuries and an inability to find any kind of form have seen the one-time prodigy relegated to the substitutes' bench and now it appears his brief time at Anfield is coming to an end.

      Whether QPR would sanction such a deal is questionable given the impact that Taarabt has had since his switch to Loftus Road – initially on loan but since made permanent – from Tottenham. Named the PFA Championship Player of the Year scoring 19 goals from his attacking midfield berth, he has been the catalyst bahind Rangers' running away with the Championship title. A mercurial talent equally capable of frustrating as inspiring, the Morocco international is certainly a star in the making and has seen interest in him come from such luminaries as Real Madrid and AC Milan.

      Liverpool will hope to offer a player plus cash in a package they feel is worth around £12m while they will also offer to pay part of Cole's £90,000 per week wages in order to sweeten the deal even further.

      Think the lad would be a poor signing to be honest watched him a couple of times for QPR and he will not get the time and space in the Premiership he has in the championship. Don't think he is good enough for a top Premiership team

      Adel Taarabt - Mr. Showboat - 2010-2011

      His talent is unquestionable, its his attitude which lets him down, and maybe he does over do it a little bit, but F**k me what a skilful player.

      Can't see him coming here as he not too long ago had a dig at Damien Comolli in the London Evening Standard

      Quote
      "The man who took me to Tottenham was Damien Comolli, now at Liverpool. He was at Arsenal then. But, when I was going to go to Arsenal, he moved to Tottenham. He told me: 'Come to Tottenham. We want to do like they do at Arsenal and take the best young players in the world. You're going to have a better chance there.' I believed him. This was a mistake and I regret it. Tottenham tried to do it like Arsenal but it's a different culture. I would have had a better chance at Arsenal. I would progress with Arsene Wenger. He is a legend in France, one of the best managers in the world".

      Plus I've heard the deal's already been laughed off by Warnock, claiming they couldn't even afford half of Cole's wages.

      He's got temperament issues but I wouldn't mind giving the King a shot at reforming him... he has some moments of pure genius out there. He'd be a deffo upgrade on Cole so I wouldn't mind a player swap with some cash sprinkled on top, I think he's worth the risk personally

      Agree, deffo an upgrade from Cole. Worth a shot, but I don't think Cole will be interested in the swap deal.

      They'll never meet his 90k a week. Dang, I get sick when I type this 90...

      QPR are one of the richest clubs about, 90K is nothing to them.

      Yea, I know they're loaded, but do you really think they'll splash that kind of dough on a player who's past his best.

      Besides, he's a better player than Cole, and surely on a lower wage than him. I honestly don't think they'll bite.

      Perhaps your right, it would have to be a player plus cash deal or maybe a loan deal where we pay a fraction of his wages.

      Things can be done, but your right it would take a bit of negotiating that one.

      Course QPR could fork out the dough for Cole's wages. Though he might be asked to take a bit of a pay cut.

      But like Hoya says why would QPR want Cole, who's clearly past it and lost it, instead of Taarabt who may well prove to be a good player at this level.

      watching the 2nd video I think he lost the ball more times than anything else, because he is a greedy tw*t..
      This guy is trying to win the game himself and forgets there is a team about him .Or he thinks he is another ladyboy or Nani..
      I say stay away from him

      Taarabt was Rangers’ top scorer with 19 goals and 16 assists and Curle believes the Moroccan can continue his good form in the Premier League.
