Fiale Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sounds harsh - but you can't keep paying someone to not be in your team / available - he's had chances in the past, and not sealed a first team place, his injury record is bad, and he's not really produced the goods. Time to free up his squad number and replace with another young promising striker and see if they can earn themselves a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a contract, so has the right to be paid what the contract says. What would we gain by paying him up now? Sure we can get another player in if we have the means to.

His contract runs out the end of the season - We should let him know he is not in our plans and help him find a club, or let this contract run down and not renew it. I don't care which, but you can't pay people who do not/or cannot feature in your plans - so time for him to go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Rubbish. One goal in 26 last season. Get him out.To be fair, he came on as sub for nearly half of those - most with only 25/30 mins to go... I'm not his biggest fan either, but I do think he could be a useful player in league one with Baldock. Just gotta get him out on the pitch...

Mad Cyril Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Pay him up and get him off the books. . Always love it when someone raises this novel an forward thinking idea. Pay someone all their wages up front in full and ask them to do nothing in return. I so wish you were my boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the sarcasm route when you disagree with an opinion Frees up your physios, frees up insurance money frees up catering frees up kit cleaning etc etc etc. Not that the club are trying to save money or anything!

The Casual Connoisseur Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Paying up his wages makes little sense IF we can get him got again, although I agree he's not effective enough to be in our plans for next season. Like others have said, glimpses of Stead and plays the "Heskey" role well, but in division 3 you can't afford to play a forward who creates very little and scores even less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Jim Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Don't rate the guy. Nothing against him but we can't afford to carry a striker who is A) injured for half the season and B) Doesn't score goals. Any idea when his contract runs out? We need two strikers before the end of the window... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Jim Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Sad little man aren't you? Football is all about scoring records of course, you smarmy simpleton He's correct, though, isn't he. It's a dire fact and even as a Ryan Taylor fan, surely you can see that it is simply not good enough for a centre forward. Stead didn't score many and played the same role, but he'd still weigh in with 7/8 goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otib, why let facts get in the way of pathetic arguments? Well, the fact I've successfully got us to compare Ryan Taylor to Bas Savage rather than Jon Stead speaks more volume than anything.

If you're a bit stoopid, which is pretty evident, and see all forwards as having to score goal after goal then you'll retain your blinkered view. If you cant understand that players like Heskey, Taylor, Stead etc can be vital in some formations to getting the best out of a natural goal scorer then there is no hope for you.

So, which of our players has really pushed on because of Taylor's linking play? Where's the 20-goal striker that is meant to finish everything Taylor links up? Taylor should be chipping in with at least seven goals a season even if he's not an out-and-out goal-scorer. Heskey managed a goal every 4.5 games over his league career. Taylor's record for us is one in every 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2010/11 Taylor scored 12 goals in a season, his strike partner, a certain Adam Le Fondre, got 24, but as with Turner and Taylor, some will never understand each role in a strike partnership. Interesting to me too that Millen bought Pitman around the same time, a Le Fondre clone, really. It is frustrating that he keeps picking up niggling injuries but when we signed him Millwall (then managed by Saturday's opposition manager) also wanted him. I'll suggest Kenny Jackett knows a bit more about footballers than many on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor played in all of our wins under McInnes last season. He played a big role in all our better performances. He's nowhere near the most talented player at this club, but he is one of the most effective in making the team link better and at bridging the gaps between midfield and attack. You'll never be convinced and I have a life (one that doesn't include pretending to be a friend of a comic book hero) so I'll leave you to your thoughts on Taylor and be happy in the knowledge that people who know a **** load more about football than me or you rate him high enough to pay him handsomely for his services.

Corleone Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Remember when people were calling him the ginger Drogba because he kept winning the ball? If he didn't have such a poor injury record I think he could be a really important player for us.....those who are dismissing him as a waste of a wage clearly can't grasp how his "type" of forward is so imPortant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdliketoRogerMoore Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Taylor does some things well link up play holding the ball up etc, but his goal scoring record is awful! Mainly due to the fact I think he doesn't get into good goal scoring positions! Someone said that his contract is up at the end of the season so he's got until then to prove that he can get himself fit for a period of time and chip in with few goals as well as what he naturally brings to us! If he doesn't IMO it should be sed you later on the next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foster probably played in a bunch of them too. Doesn't mean Taylor won those games for us, he was less than 10% of the equation. I'd love him to get a few goals but, he won't and I'd pick Harewood over him every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
