Taylor had potential to go in the same category as Yann, Bent, Mendonca. But not after only one season, few years from now he will be forgotten about, let’s move on see where it takes us.
Big questions to answer. Are we more likely to get more points for the remainder of the season with Taylor up front or someone else? How much extra will that someone else cost? Will Jan prices be too premium for value? Is there still a willing £xm buyer for Taylor?
We took Taylor on and benefited from having previously run down his contract. We shouldn’t really be over surprised and up in arms when it’s later repeated.
Admin posting on the wrong thread - major own goal
"Greedy" Bowyer and his evil agent rejected an offer from the owner in the summer.
We showed him not to disrespect Charlton. Wasnt that good a manager anyway, never managed above league 1, and as he rejected an offer he clearly didn't want to be here.
We can point out the fact that we have struggled in his absence,but more to the point,how many more would Bonne and Leko have scored had Williams and Cullen been fit,how much pressure would have been off the defense,what if we had been able to rotate,Pratley,Gallagher,Otzuma,keeping them all fresh,our dodgy run is not totally down to Taylors absence.

Don't want people like that at the club.
Where is Bowyer now by the way?
Henry. A lot of your posts have a 'you're all a bunch of wank*rs and I'm not! ' kind of feel to them.
To the guys with young lads who will be gutted,know how the kids feel,remember when Sam Barttram retired,I was devestated for weeks,When Stuart Leary left for QPR I just could not understand it,sadly young lads have their heroes,and it is very hard for them to accept that sometimes players just do not want to play for them anymore,but,someone else always comes along.
Player doesn’t want to be here - obvs going to play for a bigger club than Charlton - his choice, thanks for the goals you aren’t a “hero” and best of luck.
I do wonder how its going to be for Agents / Players negotiating with the club now
They're effectively negotiating with an Agent themselves what with Matt Southall's past... Gone are the days of having them treat us like mugs in the sense we saw with Meire
It'll be a shame to lose Lyle but I think it'll be different to Yann this time as we wont have a penny pusher of an owner to get a replacement
Of course it'll be difficult but no player is bigger than the club!!

David whyte whyte whyte
Oh Andy Hunt, he plays up front
Both of which scored loads of goal at second tier.

Early contender for the didn’t happen of the year awards.
what had this got to do with Taylor? Different person, different owner, different scenario
I can’t make up my mind how bothered I am about this. When you live with bad news for a while you kinda prepare yourself for it. A fit, motivated Lyle is a great thing to have. However, a 30 year old injured and demotivated Lyle who has previous for doing this probably isn’t. We have a short term problem of needing goals ASAP but we’ve had nothing out of him for most of the season. I don’t really buy this latest “injury”. Too convenient. I think I’m probably in the “thanks for the memories” camp although they really were brilliant memories. There is also the possibility that Lyle has had his great season and its downhill from here. There isn’t much in his track record to suggest he’s gonna rip up the premier league. Whatever the case the new owners need to be seen to be decisive. Lyle has been a real talisman and I want to feel gutted. But I can’t. I was more bothered about Yann. This has Rangers written all over it. He’ll do well there.
If lyle goes I will be no where near as pissed off as when yann was sold.
Cant blame lyle for looking for the extra few quid. We would all do the same in his situation. Just didnt like the way he was acting around the training ground when the brentford offer came about (from what I hear)
Would imagine Bowyer and Gallen would be in ESI's ear to offer everything to Lyle. The offer won't have been retracted without them knowing so or probably having some say in it, let's just see what happens.

Not sure if that's intentional?
Have you only just started reading his posts or......
Said after the Swansea game that he wasjt injured. Did sod all during that first 45 mins & then is replaced due to a "thigh injury". Now unavailable for the next 2-3 weeks so "cant" play for us. You can bet your bottom dollar he will be fit though for whoever he signs for....(but then who is going to sign a player who is currently injured & struggled to play 90 mins when he was back from his recent injury.......perhaps a club who knows it's all baloney).
God job Lyle's off twitter atm. Expect to see that turned back on again once he's left.
Do you honestly believe we would substitute our only fit striker when we are in the middle of an injury crisis and a relegation battle?
What are you going to post next, the queens a lizard? Paul Mccarthy died in a car crash in the 60’s and was replaced by a look a like?
If he's not interested in signing a new deal that's his choice. We can't exactly moan about it or hate him for it, as we signed him after he did exactly the same to Wimbledon.
Thanks Lyle. Cheerio.
This ... his loss. He won’t be part of the Charlton Revolution and forfeits his place in our Champions League winning team.
I will be gutted to loose Taylor if he goes but if he wants to go then get a good price for him.
Also my own opinion is that him & Bonne cant play together in the same team as they are too similar in styles, you want one of them up top with a pacey striker. I would prefer to keep Bonne as he is younger and is still learning but stepped up well so far

Very true. Sadly some of our knee-jerk fans won't see it like that.
Should we not face up to the possibility that our new owners are not as minted as we hoped, that we will not compete with top half clubs on either wages or transfer budget. It’s very early days so we will have to wait and see. But it’s a distinct possibility.
Probably have a wage structure. Because they have money doesn’t mean they are mugs. like someone mentioned earlier, to have 1 player on 25k and others on 6k would create disharmony.
Lyles tantrum for not getting his life changing move to Brentford and subsequent lack of effort in our early season matches prove he’s a waste of time , move him on

You cant show everyone else that being petulant gets you what you want... not a great look on there first ever contract off to a cafc player

It would be tough to lose him, but if he doesn’t want to stay, what can we do?

He’s 29 and in the last 12 months been in the best form of his career.
