QPR manager Harry Redknapp bears no grudge against Adel Taarabt following their public spat this week and insists he merely wants the Morocco playmaker to return to shape and form.

Redknapp and Taarabt had a public argument after the Rangers boss accused the midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Fulham and AC Milan, of being overweight.

"I don't hold grudges," Redknapp said.

"He got pushed into writing a load of stuff that wasn't true. I don't think he's been fined and I wouldn't want to fine him.

"I've always been a manager where people go, 'You do love a problem player'. Yes, I have.

"The big difference is the ones I've had before keep producing on the pitch.

"Unfortunately at the moment Adel needs to produce. He's got great talent.

"He could be an incredible, incredible footballer for this football club."
