A Horse With No Name Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I am not claiming to be itk but I have it on very good authority that we have another striker coming in on loan this week, so that will almost certainly mean that one of ours will be off, probably Taylor?

richwwtk Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Unless we are buying a new midfielder outright, I would much prefer to stick with what we have now tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortia Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Taylor has just been given the number 10 shirt. In my opinion there's 0% chance he is being sold this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire reds Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 We do need an experience striker to help the team. I just hope the players that we do bring in can go straight into the team and not just sit on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely Hinds going on loan. Regular games at a good level would accelerate his development more than the U23s and the odd sub appearance and cup game.

Hampshire reds Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Why would we sell matty. He has been injured and not really been given a run in the team. Hinds out on loan would be a good move. You do sense a busy few days ahead for city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Not another striker please. If Taylor is sold after the arrival of another striker then the board and LJ have got some explaining to do. If we're short, play Hinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatn Over Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 If correct, I'm thinking it will be another Tammy type arrangement but I would prefer an attacking mid gem from a club like Chelsea or "a n other" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cupboard is bare. They run a player farm that is of no relevance to the first team but makes a lot of money. Meanwhile Conte complains he doesn't have enough players.

I'm probably totally wrong, but I'd like to see Hinds develop here, being part of the match day squad on a regular basis. I just worry about him going out on loan to a club who don't play anything like us, he gets lumped around and then regresses. 1 hour ago, Hampshire reds said: Why would we sell matty.

Reid is better and Woodrow much better imho, Hinds emerging, Djurić to come back over the winter, Engvall to return on loan. Surplus to requirements. I know lots will disagree with me.

I'm fine with that 1. You certainly have to choose the right club to send Hinds to and listening to Tinnion gives me confidence on that front. I just don't see him developing quickly enough without plenty of games. When Bobby goes for £10m next summer I want Freddie ready to step in. 2. I disagree with you. 3. So does LJ it seems.

I just don't rate Taylor enough to convince me he is a regular starter or goalscorer at this level. Lee obviously does - unless we see him resigned to the bench now he's back from injury.

His finishing was poor, but he must have some ability or he wouldn't have been such a prolific scorer in the lower leagues. Playing Taylor would enable Reid to just be an attacking midfield player, not a combined midfielder / forward as he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see this happening as Albert's willingness to help out in midfield and defence was questionable, to put it mildly. LJ likes players who are prepared to work hard.
