I mean, how the hell do you replace a striker like Taylor. What he means to the fans, his attitude on and off the pitch, his all round team play. Oh, and 20 goals a season.

You can't replace all that Taylor brings, so unless we stick a fat wedge of cash in his pocket, he'll go.
£15-20k a week would keep him and IMO would not be excessive at all. Roland shan't do it though.
There'll be plenty of desperate/ambitious clubs that will pay a large transfer fee for a prolific striker in January. The idea that teams won't pay more than £1m for a player that would make such a difference to their season is ridiculous.

I agree that this applies to most clubs but we always seem to have our pants pulled down with transfer fees so I'd be surprised if we get anywhere near what Taylor is worth in Jan.

In principle you're right.... as one player alone he is worth it. The problem is when all the other players in the team who have also made strong contributions also want a pay rise when they see what LT is on. The issue is the overall structure pay wise - but without seeing our finances in detail and income - I couldnt say whether we can sustain a pay structure that includes players on £20k a week.
Why doesn’t Lyle sign an improved 3 year deal, with a minimum release clause of 10 million, sounds high for someone of his age, but if he keeps performing well, he’s well worth it, everyone’s a winner!
We all know the alternative, a poorly handled bit of business, player leaves on the cheap / free, ramps up the pressure again on the owner, and round we go again, cmon Roland I know you’re a big big fan of Charlton Life ( you’ve quoted it so many times) show a bit of forward thinking and intelligence with your 2 per cent of time dedicated to us!
If we’re worried about breaking our wage structure, then give him a good rise, with a stonking bonus based on goals scored.
Lyle is an exceptional player and I've loved watching him play - find it hard to believe he hasn't played at a higher level. Not phased by the Championship and has to be attracting attention.
I love what Bowyer is doing. Talking Lyle up to get the best out of him. Also knows that he is not going to sign another contract (like he has done at his prev clubs) and putting it out there to encourage a transfer fee. On a footballing decision if Taylor goes for £4m or more and we are in a position where we don't look like we are going to go up or down he can use some of that money. Hasn't the Peterborough guy only one 1yr left on his contract so he could go back for him. Worse case scenario we have Hemed. £4 mill for a 30yr old?
Disappointed in 2 idiots ruining it for everyone today. So disrespectful! I take so much time to sign things and take pictures with fans and a pair of idiots ruined it for everyone. I shouldn’t have to take to social media to ask for some respect, but I feel I do.
So I’d kindly ask that people respect me enough not to come to my house, or wait outside my house asking for pictures and autographs. And I request that on a match day, people wait, I will get round everyone! All of the players always do!
We know, understand and accept that the fan base is the life and soul of the football club, but to be called a tart when someone stamps on your foot pushing past security having been asked to wait is disrespectful. And I don’t disrespect any Charlton fan!
Wonder if someone didnt give Taylor space (when he was trying to get round everyone), stepped on his foot and then when he complained got called a tart
I was there with my son. Would say there were probably 50 odd people around 6.15 waiting for autographs.
I didn’t see actual incident as Jonny Williams appeared at same time from players area but we had seen Lyle chatting to someone in main reception and I believe these people got bored of waiting and tried to push through and break up the chat
Don’t think it was the same people who called him a tart, that was a fella at the south stand once he got into his motor.
I don’t understand why we don’t give Lyle the contract he wants. Yes it will cost us money but if he leaves we will get £Xm, if he stays and I hope he does he will be happy. If we don’t give him a contract he will walk as a free agent and we get nowt. So what is the problem??
and the dipsticks who went to his house should be banned.

But last season was by far his best one at League One level since getting promotion with Wimbledon
That involves someone buying us or Roland being hit by a black cab and someone with sense just flogging the club to be rid of an increasing cost.

i.e. It'll be impossible to get one player to do all that Lyle can do, instead if we can have two players that share what he can do
Contributes all over the pitch.
