deadredfred Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Very interesting to hear MA say that they're working hard to get more in. Striker I would hope. Wonder what influence if any Tammy had on this one? It's quite late in the window and I'd assume Moore was already known to us, but with some persuasion from Tammy it may have helped get him over the line?

I don't know, but it is possible, like I said. Not saying we'd even be contemplating it given we've just got up to having 4 CB's, but if we decided to sell Flint at this stage we'd be able to rinse which ever club wanted to buy him due to how late it is in the window, £1.5m paid for Moore (supposedly) and I expect we'd get at least £6m for Flint if we ever decided to sell. So we'd be talking about making another £4.5m (minus whatever Swindon would get, probably £560,000-£750,000) taking total received to around £11m this summer. Again don't think we're considering letting Flint go, just saying we've put ourselves in a potentially good position should it ever come up. Also Ekstrand was training with us, that the end of his chances or would we consider bringing him in too and Williams may be off or having 5 CB's...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Some billing given to Moore from LJ: Quote "Taylor has captained England Under-19s, which is one of the golden age groups for the current England crop. "He's very intelligent, has excellent potential. There aren't many young, English centre-halves around as good as he is, so we're delighted to have secured his services."

I don't think we'll see the end of Flint this transfer window either but as you say, it puts us in credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore may have asked Tammy his opinion but there is no way the club would ask a 19yr old loanee to get involved in transfer dealings. If MA and LJ can't sell the club without a 19yr old's help we'd be in trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shares half of it with my all time favourite City centre half, the other half with England's greatest ever centre half, if not greatest player. With a name like that he already has my hopes up that he could be something very special! Tommy Taylor and Liam Moore?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Excellent background in the player interview about how important Tammy Abraham was to this signing. The two exchanged lots of texts and Tammy told him he had to come and what a great place it was. Nice to hear that someone like Abraham who is only on loan, is prepared to sell our club.

But they will know each other from the England setup so his opinion which was most likely positive given his reception and how well he's started will no doubt have helped.

Phileas Fogg Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 His player interview is worth a watch. Very articulate and clearly very intelligent. I've noticed this in particularly the young first team players LJ has bought in this summer, they all seem intelligent; particularly Magnusson, O'Dowda and now Moore. Add Bryan to that list and we've got a very intelligent core of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the hallmarks of someone who's privately educated I thought, which is quite rare for a footballer - wonder if he was. An exciting signing, another ball playing defensive player. Maybe he's the player LJ was hoping Ayling would be - comfortable on the ball, versatile, can play right back/centre back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 At the start of the season, I was pessimistic about this coming season. This was where Mark Ashton had to prove that he had the contacts to be considered a good appointment for CEO at Bristol City, and based on recent history I had already built myself up for disappointment. However, the signings we've made this season have blown me away. We've not only signed experienced players in Tomlin and O'Neil, but we've also signed promising youngsters with the right calibre to succeed at this level. Taylor Moore sounds like a fantastic prospect that can jump into first-team football right away, considering he's young AND has been playing first-team football, in a different country no less! The last time I was this happy with the club, we were signing David James, and with Coppell people considered us to be a favourite for promotion. Obviously, that went tits up, so I'm going to keep my feet firmly on the ground, but if we end up achieving a mid-table finish then I hope LJ and Ashton get a much-deserved raise for the work they've put in.

His French accent is only very slight, which surprised me. Obviously bilingual, but I thought it'd be a lot thicker. Intonation goes up at the end of his sentences which is revealing. To be honest, if we didn't know he'd been living there since he was 7, think most would struggle to detect anything other than an English accent.
