    All I care about is winning. In a heartbeat. The best striker since Bent. 
    Yann was better 
    Was he? Or is that sentimentality talking? Lyle was a better goalscorer than Yann quite comfortably. 
    Yann technically was a class above

    He was never a League One player, we got lucky having someone as sensible as Peter Varney doing the negotiations, when we went to the Championship he proved he could do it at that level, shown as well with Bournemouth and Reading.

    Lyle has had more of a career in the lower leagues, would question if last year was a flash in the pan year with us because he was at a club he was comfortable at (as he's proven that he's struggled apart from Wimbledon and Charlton), would question if League One is his primary level
  • Both talismanic for us but Yann was a better all round player IMO. He's proved it consistently in the Championship. Lyle has had half a good season in the championship so far and with Murray joining I can't see that improving for him this season.

    Yann was a beast. Wins that fight hands down :lol:

    The bloke turned his back on our club and was a huge factor in why we got relegated.

    Any Charlton fan saying they still love him, or want him back at our club, should be embarrassed of themselves. So weird. 
    He’d be a lot better than our current strikers. 

    To put it like this, I had a girlfriend once who was an absolute freak in the bedroom who left me satisfied beyond my wildest dreams. However she had no sense of loyalty and eventually left me for a lad who drove a Sierra Cosworth. I had an Austin Metro at the time. Mrs AUN, whilst still very adept in her skills is not as bedroom orientated but so very loyal and devoted to the cause of our marriage and I adore her for it. If that girl from many moons ago came knocking on my door now I would tell her to f*** right off. That’s how we should treat Taylor. He had his chance and he messed it up.


    (FFS, please no one show Mrs AUN this post)
    Well that was uncomfortable.
    Is that you Mrs AUN?

    *proper chuckles*

    For legendary status at the club. Yann wins. 

    I still have very fond memories of Yann. In 10 years time, I won’t have that for Lyle. 
    I agree with this. 
  • Not a fan of Taylor since he left us high and dry last season, but, as it's
    has been mentioned as a hypothetical scenario of "would you have him back on loan"
    i was just wondering IF that happened, and he started banging in the goals to see us
    up or playoffs, the mood could probably change very quickly, and memories  fade just
    as quick? 

    No.

    4 goals in 25.

    Football is also not just a results business. People move on and it's best to keep it going in the right direction. He wouldn't fit in, in the dressing room. 

    Return of old ex players never really goes well...apart from Chris Powell's occasional casual return!

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'd struggle to take seriously anyone who believes Taylor is as good a striker as Yann.
    Yann and Lyle are 2 totally different players....Yann more of an all rounder (no 10) and Lyle an out an out finisher.

    in their prime they'd have made one hell of a partnership I reckon
    This is the perfect response. Lyle is your scorer first assister second, Yann the assister first scorer second.

    Absolutely

    He's not made it off the bench for 1 game after playing in 25 games on the spin. 

    I doubt he's worried right now. 

  • Give him more time to count his money.
  • Odds that Lyle will end up at millwall whens hes bored of being a sub at forest?

  • The Lyle vs Yann comparison isn't unfair at all

    Yann 32 goals in 96 games, with 12 in 39 in L1 and 20 in 57 at Championship level (including cups)

    Lyle 36 goals in 67 games, with 25 in 45 in L1 and 11 in 22 at Championship level (including cups)

    Of course goal stats aren't everything, but we shouldn't rewrite history either

    Lyle did get at least 12 penalties which of course can be missed but do distort the figures.

    Wasn't Yann a penalty taker? Or did JJ still have his legs back then?

    Don’t think he was too keen after (ahem) an incident at Leicester

    He scored two for us in his time with us. Not sure how many he took. Hopefully two. The Leicester incident was hilarious and appeared to be the only reason we got him so cheap.
