Yay for getting rid of a player who doesn't want to be here, and getting a player who does with similar end product. But no, you're right. Let's get this mass suicide going, shall we?

The point is that making money on a deal is nothing at all to be proud of unless that money goes back into making the team/squad better. Having a healthy bank balance won't help us stay up, will it.

Cajun Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 taylor is a good championship full-back who has had freakishly bad injury problems that have hindered his development. i think he has a bit of talent but im not entirely convinced of his ability to play consistently at this level yet, because that's not something he's ever done, so far. his danger at set pieces could come in useful though. he's a backup right-back, not a winger or anything else. in an ideal world he'd come in occasionly when others are injured but instead it is straight in at the deep end. The three players we've brought in are distinctly average, with Taylor probably being the one I'm happiest about, at least he's young. We won't ever get back the £4m we spent on Nolan though. nolan is only 26 so only 2 years older should have his best years with us and dont say in the championship Ignore him, he is a moron who clearly doesn't know who Kevin Nolan is. My guess is he thinks we have signed Kevin Davies or someone completed unrelated. He will keep banging on about him though, forever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully appreciate that, but my comment wasn't really about the money. It was in response to those that have effectively written him off already when all the important stats would suggest he's a better player than N'Zogbia so at least we've strengthened the squad. Enough? Definitely not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Got a feeling people are going to expect too much from this lad like some did of Nolan on his debut. Basically this lad is going to offer us the same kind of threat Geremi does on the wing only with more legs, he will pull off the occasional quality cross and will be more of a threat from freekicks, not just shooting but also delivery into the box. He won't be tearing defenders apart or going on mazy runs like Jonas does. I would imagine he would compliment Jonas quite well though as he will give us a different kind of threat and would be comfortable switching with Jonas throughout a match. Unfortunately I can still see Duff being the starting right winger. He will be a better back up than Edgar at right back and will be our only realistic cover for Enrique at left back (moving Bassong really shouldn't be an option). He will "do a job" and will get forward well but I can't see him being a first choice regular in defence when everyone if fit. At the end of the day (footballer talk) he isn't going to come in and be anything special. He will be a decent player who can cover a few positions in the side. Lets not expect too much and get dissapointed but lets also not right him off as worse than shite when he comes in and doesn't make Beye look like Steven Carr.

Rich Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Might be a canny player to have on the right for away games in particular, where sometimes graft more than skill can be the trick. I'd prefer to see him playing than Duff. I don't think he's a bad signing really and agree that expectations shouldn't be too high because he's scored a few wondergoals against us.

Lotus Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I kind of get the feeling that JFK was allowed to run the last transfer window on his own, that he made a plea to Ashley that it should be the Managers job and he'll show Ashley how he can handle it. The fact that we made a bid for Nolan on the 29/30th and that other players told JFK that RTaylor was available increases my suspicions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 As long as he doesn't bring the rest of the team down with him on the pitch (Butt) or off the pitch (Zog) this transfer can only be positive in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
