Natchfever Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 15 minutes ago, Big C said: Taylor signed a new 2 year contract earlier this season so he can't be too upset. Also do you think he would develop better by sitting on the bench or playing regular games? I missed the extension bit so thanks. That means it ends last game of next season then. I would say someone signed for a not inconsiderable sum by our standards shouldn't be back playing middling league One football three years down the line. Either the club got it wrong in terms of potential, or he has been put places where his development has been stifled. Financially, the young man is probably doing very nicely, but career wise I personally don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 22 there is no disgrace as his age to below the likes of Williams., Kalas and Baker in the pecking order. Bobby Reid was still going out on loan at his age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Reid was still going out on loan at his age Understood, but with respect to Bobby, he wasn't one of the best English players of his age group or signed for an alleged £1.5m. The point i'm making is that Taylor Moore will have had options and was persuaded to sign by his England colleague Tammy Abraham apparently. He must be very very disappointed how his career has progressed whilst at City. He no longer lacks experience of English football, he's a grown man, and yet it appears he isn't good enough to be involved matchday for City. Some youth stars don't progress (most actually) so I shouldn't perhaps be surprised if he isn't good enough. I just thought that this lad was a cut above our home grown products, Lloyd Kelly aside, so should have had a more structured development plan to build upon his undoubted quality as a young player.

He's 22 chill out. Webster was 24 before he kicked on with us and showed his promise. I personally think people massively overrated him when we got him. Under 19 England international and Lens academy but if he was that good he would of got picked up by bigger clubs than us. Let's just see what happens and not write him or his career with us off whilst he's contracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hantsred Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 surely the situation is that he came straight in at the start of the season (because of Webster sell, injuries to others) rather unexpectedly for him and the coaches, but has actually done pretty well. But the fact is he was always down to be 3rd/4th choice centre back whilst he is young and developing and now that we have cover he can go out and work on any weaknesses that the backroom staff clearly have identified before he is main stay in the team. Just a side note I also think if we were mid table going nowhere fast, he would carry on here but as we are pushing at the right end of the table we can afford to be choosy in the pursuit of glory!

Ohbasso Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 He’s a 22 year old centre back, he’s about 7-8 years away from peaking. I don’t know why people are so desperate to rush the kid, there’s no shame in playing in league 1 at his age. All experience of playing is good for him and beats sitting on the bench.

Better than Webster was at 24, I.e. last season? Or be better than Webster in two years time (not forgetting Webster still developing too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
