CyderInACan Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Seems a bargain now. sometimes you forget exactly HOW MUCH of a bargain certain players were though. I'm pretty sure Sir Alan Frazier Walsh cost an equally measly £18k nigh on a thirty year ago mind. Any other bargain buys that have had an impact like that?

That Louie Donowa goal Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thought Mark Shail was not a bad signing for 40k. Although Basso for nowt was good business. Nick Carle bought for 500k had him one season sold for a million. Value for money must be Shaun Taylor or Shaun Goater though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Adomah could arguably be one of our best in recent years. From our current crop; Pack, Smith and Flint have all proved to be great value for money. Even if SOD thought we overpaid for Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us losing Taylor to you never cost us promotion.We have gained as many points without him as we did with him since he moved to you with a game left to play.Taylor was a cog in our team - a very good one I must admit,but him leaving never destoryed our team like it did when we lost Ellington, Hayles , Roberts, Lambert etc.. over the years. Matty scored goals for us this season,but Lord he misses shed loads as you have/will find out. What is it 1 in 15 ? He will be a decent squad player for you. In all honestly we should had at least made the playoffs this season. It was possibly the strongest ever league one, but our away form has been awlful which has cost us, but this bolds well for next season. 2 or 3 quality new players and we should have a good un next season.

ChippenhamRed Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Pound for pound, Taylor must be one of the best value purchases in the Championship this season. I thought he was excellent yesterday - he didn't look out of place in the Championship. If Tammy is worth, what, £15m (?) then relatively speaking Taylor looked like a £3-4m player. Forgotting the Rovers aspect, an outstanding bit of business from the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps being completely shit away from home, where you don't get half as many penalties and play against ten men so often is the real reason then, eh?

Ok, fair point.There are different ways of looking at it or spinning it.Imho what we lacked in order to have gained promotion this season we lacked when we still had him at the Mem and DC was saying this from December.But yes, given how our season planned out he could well have got us over the line.

samo II Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 27 minutes ago, icegas said: It was possibly the strongest ever league one Not even close. Just look at the top eight and bottom five/six - the likes of Fleetwood and Rochdale are competing to exit the league upwards, while there are enough clubs with financial and off-field issues wrecking any chance of progress to fill the bottom four twice over. Even 'big' clubs up the top have hardly been throwing their weight around - Bolton haven't paid a fee for a player and still struggle to pay all their bills, yet they look a decent bet for promotion. And the less said about the shambles that is Chartlon the better, with MK Dons having the biggest relegation hangover since... well, we were down there last. "strongest ever" - Ridiculous. If that was the case, why have Sheffield United finally simply walked out after years of struggling? The likes of 13/14 saw Wolves, Sheffield United, Brentford, Preston, Us, plus those sides like Bradford, MK Dons and Walsall that are still there; this year isn't even close to being as competitive. You've done well on an absolute shoe-strong: stings me to acknowledge that, but acknowledge it I will. But you must know deep down that unless your mega-rich super-owner actually sinks real money in, your best players (not to mention your manager) are getting pinched this summer, and those 'quality' additions you mention are not coming. You missed an opportunity this year, as a weak league and your momentum gave you a chance; no point kidding yourselves otherwise - will just make next year harder.

Good season for the gas though Ice I always said Taylor's overall game is of championship standard.I said that to friends even when he was not scoring in our conference season.Him working with Marcus Stewart improved his finishing with us, it remains to be seen if any coach at your club can take him to that next level as I have little doubt that his overall game is good enough for a championship club. From an outsiders point of view, you would had been down if it wasn't for Tammy, so it will be interesting to see who you will replace him with next season as Taylor will not get you the goals TA has.
