Guest Mattty Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Why he's done pre season with us hasn't he? I presume it's more about clearance and registration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) The people saying he was poo yesterday now creaming their pants Couldn't make it up I don't recall that. I think most people wanted him. Edited August 2, 2013 by Orlando_Trustful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) we didn't need 4 CBs, that's why we shipped Beevers out last season. Say Taylor's on 5k+ per week, that's 1/4m for a season; do you think that's money well spent when he won't even make the bench? Most teams at this level and even ones below would disagree. Even under Chris Turner when we were skint and in League One he spoke of having two full teams for competition and depth. It's no use saying that Buxton can cover if necessary when that would leave only one recognised right back to take his spot, and he's out for a couple of months anyway. Similarly, Reda is injury prone himself and his understudy has yet to convince anyone he's up to the job. All we'd be doing is exchanging a shortage at centre back for one at a full back position instead. Edited August 2, 2013 by DJMortimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Happy with him but we really needed a striker before a defender imo. I'm sure he will be on decent wages aswell which could have gone towards a quality striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) But we don't need, and can't afford, 4 centre backs. Good signing, no doubt. But only 2 can play, thats a fair few quid laid out for Taylor and Llera to sit on the bench. I tried not to nibble. Honest.

0191Owl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Why do we always sign players with un-pronounceable names, how do they expect us to make chants about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 a 4th CB would be an appropriate reason to use the emergency loan window - that's what it's there for. Bloated squads should be a thing of the past with FFP. You want a close-knit competitive squad with everybody involved. A 4th CB will rarely be involved.

Guest Teetowl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It wouldn't be brinkmanship otherwise. Alternatively we pay over the odds. And we've saved a weeks wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Good signing, but can't help feeling it should've been sorted well before now. Lets hope he gets clearance in time to play tomorrow, because we're gonna need him. At least he's been with us a week or two and knows the squad and what's expected.

bigrbuk Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Could have guessed that buying a centre half better than what we have is frowned upon on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I do think we need 4 centre halves, but I see the point about wages. If Taylor were to leave, I'd hope we would still bring in someone else. A young prospect on a young prospect's wages would perhaps make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Love the way we do business at the moment. Think he'll go straight in alongside Gardner. If would could sign Oli & Lita then I'd be happy with our business this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 How about 'thinking outside the box'. Llera is an excellent centre back, except for his distribution, which is pathetic. Now think back to last season and remember the trouble he caused in the opponents'area, and how many he scored/assisted. Why not give him a try at being a striker?

Hopefully McKenzie or Obileye will step in a bit this season and then we could release Taylor in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
