    I wonder are Bournemouth fans giving Ryan Fraser the same level of abuse?

    I’ve been thinking and have a different view.  Taylor acts cocky and brash but does he suffer from confidence issues and uses the cockiness to hide it. 

    If he only scored 1-2 in the last 9, would interested clubs look elsewhere, thus the dream move is gone. As a result, hide behind the injury comment and not play.
  • Sam Quek has reignited her feud with him in the mirror!
  • Jude Bellingham came on as a sub for Birmingham, crossed the ball into the box for their equaliser against us, then flew to Germany the next day and his transfer to Dortmund was announced. That’s being a true professional.
    You are right of course, but the situations are fairly different.

    Bellingham is a born and bred Birmingham fan, no way he wasn't going to play to help his club stay up.
    Taylor doesn't even like football, never mind caring about Charlton.

  • Wonder how long before he is back on Twitter moralising about other people's decisions.

    Was anyone else expecting this "dream move" to be a done deal as soon as his actual contract expired and he left?

    The longer it drags out the longer I hope that nothing happens

    Remember seeing a BBC article recently talking to Joel Lynch (ex-Sunderland player) who got released this season due to COVID, he was saying how quick luck can change as he'd turned down a two year deal thinking that something better would show up

    Bellingham also has another 20 years to earn his money from football. Lyle Taylor has one good contract left in him.

    He’s prolly trying to be diplomatic, he announces anything at any point everyone will be crying 
    imagine the day after we’re relegated he’s seen smiling and waving around a Glasgow Rangers shirt, the tears would flood the world .
    so the further away from our relegation day the better but whatever day it is his selfish twatness will be rightly blamed as a massive part of our relegation

    Yes I was, sounded like it was done and dusted.

    He's been linked with Glasgow Rangers before and just seen that Morelos is lined up for a move to Lille.

    Maybe the couple of clubs who may have been seriously interested have gone off the idea on moral grounds.

    Highly unlikely but would be refreshing

    On the other hand, the career ending injury that Taylor supposedly fears could have happened to Bellingham, and his footballing life would have been over before it started.

    God anyone but Rangers!!

    Had enough of it last year with their fans on twitter gloating that they're better than us and are stealing our players

    Unfortunately they're too thick to realise that if they were as big as they claim they'd be signing bigger players and not ones few have heard from outside of SE7

    I can't imagine being a player or coach and welcoming Taylor into the team knowing what he did to his last bunch of teammates. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

    I'm doing a quick overview of the papers before posting up the bitesize, and I have to admit I laughed out loud when I saw that.

    Could throw him a long way from the top of the Shard.

    So Taylor only gets another couple of years, yet Bellingham gets til he's 37?

    Taylor is likely to get into punditry once his playing career is over IMO. He's clearly a clever, but not very nice (to us) bloke. He'll still be making money from football long after most footballers, this in spite of his alleged lack of interest in the sport.

    Or Bellingham gets crocked and has his career finished before he's earned a wage and dream move to one of the best teams in the world.. depends how you look at it.

    Good ! Deserves all the negative Press 
  • Rangers league season starts this weekend so if they were genuinely in for him, surely they'd have signed him up and had him training with them for the past 3 weeks.

    Starting to think that if there was anyone genuinely interested with a deal that was worth him walking out on his contract, something more concrete would've been out there by now?

    Don't agents usually come out with what's going on to stir up a bit more interest?
  • My best guess for the delay is because clubs like Bournemouth (only just relegated), Bristol City (no manager currently), and the 4 play off sides are potentially interested and both the clubs and him are waiting to see what happens next.

    I would imagine some decent Managers looking at how it affected LB would be having second thoughts on having a shit bag like him in the dressing room. 

    I sincerely hope his dream move never happens because if he'd been an honorable player I think we could have got out of this.. We will never know but I can't forgive him because his actions had consequences for everyone else.

    If it's going to be a top of the championship/lower premier league move, then there's still 4 teams in the play offs (almost said this league  :'( ) who don't know which league they'll be in. 

    Would never happen in a million years but really hoping that our relegation at least makes a few more teams look hard at his attitude before taking a punt on him.

    I think you're giving managers too much credit.

    If clubs were willing to sign Lee Hughes, Luke McCormick and Ched Evans, i don't see many not wanting to sign Taylor just because he didn't want to play in 3 games.

    When you think of his age and the money he must be asking for, it may have only left a couple of managers who were ultimately willing to take the punt, but I'm talking about before he walked out.

    Hoping there' still a tiny bit of morality still left in the game and his options are now even less

    With injuries and Covid he's hardly played in the past 12 months. Hopefully that puts a few people off!

    Has he retired from international football yet?
