Alex#40 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Was hoping this was Ryan Taylor the left back from Newcastle. Would drive there and get him myself. As for this bloke...pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangers Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 26 goals in 120 games at rotherham....23 years old. Doesnt really add up to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Can anyone actually confirm he's a frontman? It wouldn't be the first time that sky sports have got a players position wrong- especially calling a midfielder a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 He's a centre forward, bit different to our other strikers. Young, good reputation and likely to be cheap-ish. That said, we seem to be linked to every man and his dog on Sky - have they ever been correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliftonCliff Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Maybe another young player on the cheap that millan wasn't looking for but can't turn down? Possibly, but with one such apparently unplanned, opportunist signing in the bag already, I'd be a bit surprised at another in a supposedly non-priority area of the team, unless it was really someone special. I know there's been much talk of finding young, Albert-like gems in the lower leagues and developing them, but this guy is already 23, is hardly a prolific striker (if Sky's information is correct and he actually is a forward) and nobody seems to have heard of him. Mind you, I'd never heard of Albert, either, if it comes to that. And there is also the ever-present possibility that one of our existing front men may yet leave...

glynriley Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 He's ginger, so no. As soon as I saw his picture , I thought of this lad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x01WeAUkfm8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Montana Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Surely this is not serious!? A striker with a 1 in 4 goal rate in league 2. Hes 6ft2 so if we get him its obviously going to encourage long balls from our defence like usual! Id prefer Le fondre if maynard or clarkson are off!

redcherryberry Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Shame were not in for his strike partner, Le Fondre. This Taylor is a classic target man, slow but decent technique. Maybe back up for Steady whose always had his injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Surely this is not serious!? A striker with a 1 in 4 goal rate in league 2. Hes 6ft2 so if we get him its obviously going to encourage long balls from our defence like usual! Id prefer Le fondre if maynard or clarkson are off! Or he's a cheap and talented 4th striker who will provide direct cover for Jon Stead... If you look at Jon Steads goals per game ratio you'll think this guy is ******* Pelé. Adomah didn't have much going for him stats wise either when he signed... Suppose we could just wait to see if he signs and then judge.... edit: He's Le Fondre's strike partner, so maybe just maybe (I dont know much about Rotherham) he sets up the majority of Le fondre's goals... and seeing as we've got Pitman and Maynard...

chinapig Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 If we are after a League 2 centre forward, how about Clayton Donaldson at Crewe? 28 goals last season and out of contract. Mind you I trust Keith's judgement on League 1 and 2 players given his record so far. Assuming the story is true of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 free, low wages and could turn into a real gem, so why not? Exactly. Everton fans were moaning and getting on David Moyes' back as he signed Beckford (on a free!). Trust Millen, he knows more than anyone on here with what he is doing as manager. If we do sign him, he's a free transfer and probs low wages. I know he is a ginger so not going to be popular This could also be another Gary Owers influenced signing.

Riaz Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 We just signed a winger - so we are obviously going to sign another striker next. If this is the striker, who do we think the next winger will be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcherryberry Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hopefully it means Clarkson is off - complete waste of 800k. Another club in the bag. Out and out target man this kid. Maybe go back and get Le Fondre if Maynards off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
