QPR star Adel Taarabt claims his agent is in talks with AC Milan over possible move
 
Taarabt is the guy who a few days ago pledged his future to QPR yet with absolutely breathtaking insouciance says not only is he engineering a move to Milan, but that even that move is only a stepping stone to a move to Barca or Real!!
 
I too could hire an agent and have him talk too Milan about a move. Doesn't mean they'll listen. :)
