    Take this with a massive pinch of salt, but my mates friend was at the driving range yesterday and who should appear in the bay next to him, Lyle Taylor. Apparently he is on his way to Leicester and that their doctors have already been down to do the COVID tests.

    This will almost certainly be bullshit but I get to the look like i'm ITK if true (which I never am and probably am still not)
    Did he wave goodbye?

    I'd be very surprised if CL chasing Leicester are after him

    To be honest I’m getting a bit bored of all this and the other big nonsense with our club.
    We have enough problems without these players refusing to play. I don’t know if we are the only club to have this problem but I think that I’ve heard of others.
    If it were me I would of had all three players out of the club as soon as they had their decision. Just told them to go home  The club owes them nothing, all three have had contracts even if they thought they were worth more, tough, sometimes in life you don’t get what you think you should.

    I've heard of others refusing to sign extensions, but none refusing to play at all apart from Taylor, Solly and Davies. But maybe other clubs are better at locking this stuff down?

    But Fraser is refusing to sign a contract extension to cover the matches post 30/06 - I don’t think that’s a “disgrace”, it’s his contractual right. Either way it’s not even in the same category as Lyle Taylor.

    (I’m aware I’m having an imaginary argument with Paul Merson here, but at least I’m winning!)

    Nah, it's either a foreign club or Aston villa

    Nicko is desperate to get that one big scoop to prove to all Charlton fans that he is a great, in the know journalist when, in reality, he knows about as much as the rest of us which is the square root of fuck all.

    I’m still hopeful it might happen but won’t lose any sleep over it if it doesn’t.
    I think I’d tell him to do one now to be honest...his heart won’t be in it and he’ll just be trying to save face and his public image.

    let the players who actually want to play for us play

    There is more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents, than for a man that never sinned. 

    Let’s hope it’s true and he plays.

    Mixed feelings about this. If true and he doesn't put in 100% then I'd rather not have him. Obviously if he is committed then great.

    If redhenry is right then Taylor has wasted what, 10 days, he could have been getting fit.  Declared himself willing to play for 3 games, starting in a week's time, which he will be unlikely to be ready for, has already said in an interview he would be scared of getting injured in and has already pissed off his team mates.  Thanks Lyle.

    Assume his agent pointed out to him he would not get paid his last month salary if he was simply on strike for it and this is purely money related.

    Maybe 3 more days Lyle , come on wouldn’t want to see that scummy club that ditched you make the Premiership at the same time we head in to League One would you ?

    Either that or he doesnt have a new club yet and this behaviour is putting teams off

    I suppose if he plays scores 3 winners then leaves that'll do for me

    Could it be a ruse to keep Hull guessing on our line up? Wouldn't put it past our management team. Wishful thinking but not beyond the realms of possibility, been done before with injuries that have cleared up overnight 😲.
    Which do you think is more likely?

    1. Bowyer and Nixon are colluding to keep Hull guessing.
    2. Nixon is spouting absolute rubbish.
    Farnell possibly feeding this Nixon fella stories to keep us entertained and increase the chance that our Knight In Shining Armour will ride into the Valley but not via Woolwich with a bit of luck...

    That makes some sense - he wants to get paid for June I suppose, and then his contract runs out so will bog off. 

    I also suspect he wouldn't shirk away from responsibility if he was to play despite what he said about "not being the same player". He's a mercenary, but he's a mercenary worth his salt.

    On balance, probably a good thing - as long as it's addressed properly in training with the lads. I think Lyle is a smart enough person to read the room and acknowledge when he's in the wrong.
