It actually wouldn't surprise me if he scored a few there.. Cambridge is a very small pond and for an egocentric prat he may just thrive. I wonder if they lose their striker now who we have been lined with.

So are Wycombe and how did that turn out?
looking at lyles career, he was ok for a bit at Falkirk and Wimbledon, very good for us but the rest of his career, he has been a below average journey man. I reckon his Cambridge stint will be another journey man stint.

Agree. Also, he's made his money and he's just eeking out whatever he's got left. No motivation to achieve anything now.
I think they've signed Lyle because of an injury to Gassan Ahadme not sure if he's actually gone back to Ipswich formally but I did see he broke his foot and is out for a while

Weren't we linked with Ahadme briefly in the window?
Dont know if was an empty rumour, but if we were, we're injuring players through the power of thought now!!

Perhaps we can now see that this is why he did not want to get injured playing those last few games for us because had he picked up an injury of any longevity, at the age of 30, he really would have missed out on his dream move. He openly admitted that he doesn't like the game and perhaps his only motivation for playing was the money and the adulation. In that order.

Yeah his name came up before Christmas , now he's out for 10 weeks.

Ha ! Ha! Scores one makes one and sets up a sitter which is missed by a colleague. Just saying. We could have had him for free. He would have taught these youngsters thing about holding the ball up.About being a striker. Just saying. We'll see by the end of the season. When he scores the winner against us ( and sends us down? I hope we're clear by then) JUST SAYING.

Do you mean a forward or someone who withdraws their labour?

He has a particular set of skills, which are still lacking in our current squad. Particularly hold up play , but also every other aspect of striker's role, mainly strikers instinct, physicality, contribution to defensive duties, and one question mark is whether mobility/speed would have deteriorated in his long lay-off.. At the time, pre Xmas it wasn't clear if the current owners had /were prepared to spend money . This has changed in the last 2 weeks. He was available on a free so would have improved our squad in skills we are lacking. It's all changed now we may well buy a striker and Taylor is under contract at Cambridge. So a missed opportunity, but the owners are willing to burn some money (their money). I hope it works out well.
Fuck him, every other club has forgotten about him. Like others have pointed out, aside from the fact his character is questionable when the going gets tough and the thought of another contract is in his thick head, he will down tools, he has only had serious success playing for us for an 18 month spell. Hardly played for 3 years, I accept he was a decent player but a shithouse as a person

Sticks in the throat a little that someone who invokes the name of one of our greatest ever captains, a player who drove us on during some of our most successful years, has such a love-in for a toe rag who downed tools and couldn’t be arsed to put on a shirt when he was needed most 🤷🏻♂️
His highlights alone were worth that….. an he didn’t come on until the 57th minute. Like him or loath him, when he’s playing like that, he’s a bloody good forward.
Im in the hate the bloke camp. Failed miserably after his dream move to Forest. Failed again even more spectacularly at Wycombe . Hope for more of the same at Cambridge .
