Matty Taylor

[Full nelson]

I may be shot down for this but I'd offer Rovers £3million in January and put him up front with TA. I live in nailsworth and watch FGR when ever I can as City are my team. Matt Taylor was a player I banged on about 4 years ago! He's very similar to Sam baldock in that he is very good a stretching defences and is lethal in front of goal, would he come? Maybe not, but he is worth a punt. A very good talent, has proved himself at every level he's played and I would love to see him in red.

(A) 3m for a player who can leave on a free in July? Not likely. 

(B) why wouldn't he come? He's already shown he doesn't give a shit about the gas. And we have everything they don't. 

(C) I imagine we'll be after bigger fish.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I guess you're not a financial advisor..??

(D) the thought of giving them anything for any of their players makes me feel quite ill!

How about we give our own player the £2 million Engvall a go first ? Maybe Johnson will start using him so we can see what he has to offer - he looked pretty sharp against Hull.

If we ever get to a time of life where we bid £3m for a Rovers player it's a world I wont want to live in

Everyone knows the sags always sell their star strikers for at most 200k

[TV Tom]

Wouldn't think twice about buying him if he's good enough

It's a sick, twisted world though Pete.

I guess we would win a few penalties at least, he knows how to go down regardless of being touched that looks realistic - our players would look like they dived even if someone pulled out a shotgun and blasted of thier heads.

[shelts]

I certainly think he's good enough to play Championship football, with us I doubt it, be interesting if we made a bid and it became public knowledge!

I'm with you mate.  I think he would score goals in the Championship and if that means we have to lay out some money rather than wait for him on a free, then I'd go for it.  Doesn't he have a release clause?

[reddogkev]

£3 million sounds a bit crazy, even in today's market, but I'd have no qualms if we signed him for anything from £750,0000 to a maximum of a million quid.

Would be quite satisfying and amusing to take one of the Sag's assets and then see him start scoring goals in a City shirt.

Why not we seem happy to pay 2 million for a striker and not play him.

Quite .

If we had brought Taylor in pre-season I reckon he would have appearances/goals under his belt-far more help to us than Engval for sure..

I expect he would have, as Taylor hasn't had one, maybe two, ankle injuries and an illness which has made him lose a lot of weight and fitness.

Jury is still out on Engvall, obviously, but judge him in a few months, not now.

[dragonreds]

if he signed in jan and got 10 to 15 goals £3 million would be a snip as we would be in the top 2

He has a buy out clause of about £360k

[Hello]

I would like to know as so many City fans seem to know he has a 1 year contract and x buy out clause.

not saying you are wrong but as it was an undiclosed contract it seems to have been told to a load of City fans appare.tly

I know Gasheads who believe the same thing although maybe they've just read it on here.

Like you I have no idea where people have got this information from. 

[REDOXO]

I'm not aversed to a bid for Taylor. Why not. We sure need something and the Swedish lad has been a total waste so far. Perhaps he'll come good but LJ IS obviously more comfortable right now with Wilbo!

I'm sure others have already said - City could have signed Taylor on a free in the summer. Obviously LJ nor MA considered signing him back then.

True, but now he's proven he can do it at a higher level now, so is nowhere near as big a gamble. Wouldn't be averse to it myself if the deal was right but it'll never happen.
