Antman Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 ...the lad signed for not a small amount £1M+ and has spent one year of his 3 (?) year contract on loan, year 2 looking like it will be on loan, so why did we sign him? he's not really featured in the friendlies, its not looking great with players in front of him in his main roles - just don't get why we spent that much.

Yep, let's stop his development and stick him in our first team, to play at a level that he's not ready for yet..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 We bought him as a prospect that was supposed to be knocking on the door but doesn't seem there yet. People always draw on the value of the player - Yes we want a return but not all transfers will come off well (even this may still do!) It happens all the time in football i.e. Omar Bogle, Tom Bradshaw ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 The lad obviously has ability but it seems he's not yet upto Sky Bet Championship quality as yet. The loan at Bury will have given him crucial experience of men's league football. Its up LJ and the coaching staff to decide when he's ready and given his tender years that might not be for a while yet so it makes perfect sense to let go out on loan again, possibly at a higher league than Bury to gain even more experience of league football. When he returns City will have benefited by having a better and more experienced defender. On the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon uk Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Dont forget the club policy of buying players for 7 figure fees, not giving them a chance and then buying 2 or 3 replacements, until we have a squad of about 35. Eventually they find a player they like and its all fine, everyones a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unfair on Taylor. He spent quite a bit of time up there playing RWB, which he simply does not have the pace to do. That being said, he did show weaknesses that demonstrate he is not ready for this level yet. We must not write him off now, but rather we must send him on loan somewhere for the whole season instead of messing him about and then shipping him off to some team in January. I want him to do well, but he is not yet ready for this level and would benefit from playing his favoured CB position at a higher L1 club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS agree on Moore .... as 'one for the future' all seems to be going to plan so far, slowly maturing and theres nothing to say he won't deserve another year or two extension if improvement continues - not a bad gamble. If he does make the grade here he'll be an asset, if he does 'so so' here and makes a few first team appearances before we move him on the chances are it'll then be for a profit... What have we got to lose? percentage of a £million or so at worst, which won't amount to too much in football money these days.. And if the punt comes off and he really does well, we'll be mega quids in when the big clubs come knocking on our door ... of course WE may be a BIG CLUB by then ourselves!

City fan 1982 Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 There has been plenty of players aged 16 to 19. Who have made premier league , or championship debuts , done well, then possibly sold on , at bigger clubs than city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 its down to moore to prove himself. the money spent on him was always a risk when you buy a youngster but a calculated risk. they don't all work out but in this current market nobody is cheap and we done well to get him. you win some you lose some but you gotta be in it to win it...ala kodjia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Love the fact armchair fans writing off talyor-Moore without even seeing him play!! Ive seen very little, you tube footage of him playing at lens and bits from his loan spell at bury and of course his limited appearances for city. But how about we judge him after a run of games? He's clearly got talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
