Guest nufc_geordie Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 It appears (if you were to believe the tabloids-which I don't) that Portsmouth are prepared to listen to offers for Matt Taylor in January. I would certainly be interested. As much as I think Enrique will come good I think he needs this season to settle. Look at Evra at Man Utd! First season poor and adapting, second season has been outstanding so far. I would be extremely happy with a left hand side of Enrique, Taylor, Zog and Duff. Four very good interchangeable players.

NG32 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If the price is right aye. Would'nt get dragged into paying daft money. We also have other problem areas we need to sort out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkey Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 i canna see Pompey selling him unless it was for an inflated price. unless they'd consider doing a swap with Babayaro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If the price is right aye. Would'nt get dragged into paying daft money. We also have other problem areas we need to sort out. A complete back 4 - again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 A complete back 4 - again. I dont think our defence would look half as bad if SA stuck with a balanced back 4 with Beye and Enrique playing RB & LB, thus releasing N'Zogbia to play LM/LW. That in turn allowing Milner to play RM/RW. And SA didn't give the players instructions to try and contain the opposition, which invites teams on us. We simply dont have the personel to play a containing game, its putting massive pressure on the defenders, some of them are new to the prem. Making the defence look worse than it actually is.

Yorkie Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 He isn't actually that good, is he? I don't really know tbh - but am i right in thinking Pompey fans aren't that keen? We could do with another left-sided player on the cheap, but he's more of a winger which we won't really need come February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm also unsure whether Matt Taylor is that good at Left back - hence the reason why he hasn't started much for Portsmouth this season. As a player, he's only really came to prominence and hit the headlines for the 30-40 yard wonder strikes he seems to pull out, 2 or 3 times a season. I admit we probably need another 'proper' left back, as it looks like Babayaro (who?) might not ever be fit for us again, and N'Zogbia is better employed in a more advanced role. But, if we could get him cheap enough (£2-3m) as a back-up/rotation player with enrique, then he may be worth a punt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I don't even consider him a left-back any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I wouldnt say no for £2-£3m. Would allow N'Zogbia to be used in LM and give time for Enrique to settle, and isnt an undroppable player so Enrique could come in when ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 he's not much of a left back, but i'd have him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsy Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Was a damn site better than any of our midfield when we played them. Classic case of people thinking we are better than we actually are - get him in, good player, proven with premiership experience - better than Geremi for example.

Cajun Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I don't even consider him a left-back any more. Luton fans didn't really consider him a left back Over-rated due to the odd wonder strike imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique isn't going to settle if he can't get a game, Evra got better by playing, not by sitting on the bench. Taylor is a far stronger left midfielder anyway.

Guest Stephen927 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Never been too convinced by him, better than Babayaro but would he really come up to the North East to be back-up? Pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sittingontheball Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If he could score against the Mackems from 40 yards again he'd be worth it for comic value alone. I think Big Mike can afford better than Pompey rejects though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Big Mike can afford better than Pompey rejects though. It's not a matter of who we can afford though, it's a matter of who would come here. Purely money-wise, we could probably afford Ronaldinho if he was for sale. But he would never come here. Matt Taylor seems like about the level of player we could realistically attract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
