westred1 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Taylor out. First refusal on Barnett. Osborne was a FREE. Forest spoken to about Gillett. Promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted January 9, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 SC just said this on twitter, "Ryan Taylor isn't with us today. He could be signing for another club, we'll wait and see." Honestly believe that Barnett is a replacement for Taylor anyway. Maybe Taylor never settled in the South and wants to go back oop North?

petehinton Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Have we ever had a player be on the bench near enough every game, under 4 different managers, before?! One of the most underwhelming players I've watched. Just watching his shooting practice during the warm up is enough. Ball literally rolls straight to the keeper.

petehinton Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Brett Pitman must be up there, unfortunately. Played a fair amount under Millen, shipped out fairly quickly under McInnes...probably wouldn't compare the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb6162 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Squad Saturday becomes a bit interesting and competitive guesses ? my guess unless we make more signings or we have undeclared injuries !! Parish , Osbourne, Flint, Williams, wagstaff cunningham Gilette,Reid,Elliott Jet, Baldock bench Fielding Bryan Moloney Pack Barnett Burns/Carey Fontaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 He had terrible luck with injury problems since he has been here so has never really featured. I see his Rotherham striking partner might be leaving Reading, maybe Taylor isn't leaving us but off to talk Le Fondre into joining!!! Shame to see him leave even though he hasn't got goals in him, but he is a ginger and we are a bit short on them at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDoubleD Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Always thought he was a decent player when he did play. Did a lot of hard work for his strike partner. Good luck to him where ever he ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Very very average. Woeful strike rate. Hold up play can be described as hit or miss, sometimes good, sometimes trampoline like. Not entirely sure what people saw in the guy. Just not good enough consistently enough and offered zero goal threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 So, as I thought we're lining up a permanent deal for Barnett. Paying a fee for a 28 yr old that we're unlikely to see a profit made on. Doesn't fit in with our current recruitment policy. Someone will say Harewood I'm sure but he was free and it was only a year contract on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've agreed a fee with Posh and have first refusal to sign him permanently this summer. Therefore we've lined up a perm deal for him and will be paying a fee. Got it?

Best of both worlds really; if he's awful we can get rid, no loss, but if he's quality we don't run the risk of losing him. Don't really see the problem.

Paying a fee for a 28 yr old that we're unlikely to see a profit made on. Doesn't fit in with our current recruitment policy. Someone will say Harewood I'm sure but he was free and it was only a year contract on the cheap. What does the recruitment policy actually state? Does it say "never pay a fee for a player over 25" or is it more along the lines of "avoid paying a fee for a player over 25"? If it's the latter then there's no problem as the policy allows for some signings. If it's the former then, yes, it does contradict the policy but it would be suicidal to follow that policy to the letter with the current squad. The time to adopt the policy (as with so much else implemented recently) was around 2009 when the squad had plenty of experienced pros and could sustain itself at Championship level without addition. The sensible thing to do now is get back to that sort of level (which doesn't take ridiculous expenditure as Johnson hadn't spent excessively by that point) then take the correct course of action.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't state "we will NEVER sign players over 25" like you say that would be daft, I am merely pointing out that this signing is one that doesn't fit in and aside from Harewood (which isn't quite the same for reasons already stated) and Fielding who was JUST 25 when he signed SOD didn't make any signings like Barnett so this appears so be the start of a slight change in direction IMO. Osborne just over 25 as well actually but cost nothing to be fair. Are you related to Jordan Tansley? Just a simple "Sorry, I was wrong" will do buddy.
