If Stockton was available for 100k or less, would that make the idea of him coming in to compete/back-up Stockley more palatable for some?0

yep, feels the right price, not at some of the silly figures being banded around earlier in the summer.Callumcafc said:If Stockton was available for 100k or less, would that make the idea of him coming in to compete/back-up Stockley more palatable for some?0 -
Don't want to clog up this thread but can someone start a new thread on our new Columbian owners, please.13

If he ever returns then I'm out. I'll not go to a single match whilst he is with us & I'll even send my season ticket back.
He basically went on strike & did not see out his contract (not even counting that 99% of players in the EFL played past their usual contract date). He was probably the single most reason why we got relegated that season & if not for him we could be still in the Championship or perhaps even in the Premier League. To have stayed up we needed just 1 more point & most games in the "closed doors" season we needed a single goal to turn a loss into a draw or a draw into a win. ! goal. And i'm sure Taylor seeing out the season he would have scored that goal.That being said, if he did rejoin, I doubt that anyone would actually tear up their season ticket. He did the dirty on us, but he would massively improve the team, and would give us an enormous boost on the way to promotion.Getting out of League One has to be the priority, whatever it takes.5 -

I'm with Ronnie, forgive and forget eh!RonnieMoore said:Lyle Taylor owes us big time … the least he could do is rip up his contract and play for us for free this season …. then the fans might just start to forgive !!!
Welcome home Lyle.5 -
The richest man in Columbia is Luis Carlos Sarmiento. We once had Jeremy Sarmiento at the club. It’s happening. Only ugly people will say it’s not!Henry Irving said:Don't want to clog up this thread but can someone start a new thread on our new Columbian owners, please.3 -

We are a weird bunch. People moaning TS isn't spending enough to get us out of this league and he never will, we belong in the Championship etc etc and then one fantasist rumour about Lyle Taylor rejoining who might actually get us there and we are ripping up season tickets, would rather play with 10 men and would rather stay in L1.

I'm not normally vindictive but I'd love us to negotiate a transfer with him up until the last day of the transfer window then fail him on his medical for a lack of integrity :-:smile:addick1956 said:

If Taylor came back I would buy a season ticket just so I could set fire to it and throw it on the pitch.4

FWIW my personal thoughts based on nothing but supposition and guesswork is that we are in fact looking at a striker and quite possibly more than one but nowhere near closing a deal.
I'd be very surprised indeed if someone as switched on as Gardner seems to be would REALLY be happy with his only options being Stockley and (sometimes) Aneke but given the emphasis on getting the right players for the system etc - and if I'm right, it being some way off completion - there's no reason to put it out there until we're more confident of if/when it will go through, if at all.
Possibly this is where trying to move on one of the midfielders comes in, not so much to free up space in the squad but in the budget. JFC and Gilbey are both established players and will probably be among the higher earners so if we do get those off the books we can increase a hypothetical offer to a striker.
I think the most likely target is Simpson based on his having worked with Gardner before, being young enough that Sandgaard gets possible resale value and we can be fairly sure is looking for a move if one can be arranged - but this is purely supposition.0 -

I would imagine (if it were true which I don't think it is) it would be a loan deal rather than actually buying him - no way that mercenary would take a pay cut for starters...
If there's any substance to it though perhaps we should take a leaf out of the Athletico Madrid fans when they were linked with Ronaldo -“In light of the possibility of signing Cristiano Ronaldo Lyle Taylor, if it is more than a simple rumour without any basis, we express our absolute rejection of his hypothetical joining of our club.”
“The aforementioned player represents the antithesis of the values that constitute the hallmarks of our Athleti Addicks, such as the effort generosity modesty and humility of those who want to defend our values”

Why are we even discussing Taylor coming?
I'll start a twitter account claiming we are signing Messi. It's just as likely.6 -

Maybe some are weird but, not I would argue for the point you make.Clarky said:We are a weird bunch.

Those that are strongly against Taylor coming back is on a principal and has nothing what so ever to do with TS spending cash or not.
