Agreed, and I can see Forevers point but I agree that Taylor would not be our wide. But then if we played 433 and he was the central striker we couldn’t afford for him to do that.BR7_addick said:
My point is Taylor doesn’t play out wide...cafcfan1990 said:
Yeah or we could have a squad which doesn’t rely on one formation...BR7_addick said:
You build your team around your best players. Where they can be most affective, which is clearly Taylor down the middle, the fact he drifts is irrelevant, he’s tried and proven as a centre forward.ForeverAddickted said:
Its not a different position though is itBR7_addick said:If you think Bowyer will take last years prized asset, player of the season and arguably the best player in the entire league and then play him in a completely different position you’re way off gentlemen.
Like when Gerrard played left wing for England in one tournament.
Bowyer's formations werent rigid either with players sticking to one area of the pitch, instead they were forever swapping making it difficult to be marked
i.e. One minute you'd have Taylor dropping wide, the next minute he'll be up the middle with Harriott or Aneke supplying the cross
Of course the formation might not even be in Bowyer's thoughts but if Harriott does join or stick around longer it might be something worth trying as thats what Friendlies are there for
I think Bowyer is looking at Harriott because it would suit our minuscule budget. If he does have a place in the team he will have to fit into a position that suits bowyer not one that suits Harriott I would guess.

I watched Harriott score his first senior goal for the club, I think it was at Huddersfield and last saw him play for Reading at Stoke towards the end of last season. Seems to have matured, has the trickery and takes a good in swinging left footed corner and still has hunger for the game and fire in his belly. In fact a little too much in the end that day and was subbed after a booking for some retribution.
Given the financial constraints Bowyer is having to work under we could do a lot worse than Callum. If he pulls on the shirt this campaign he'll get my full support. What we don't need is people getting on his back at the first mistake he makes, so if he signs let's give the lad a chance to show what he can do 3 years on.22 -
Taylor = Striker, personally better up front and don't really want our main striker drifting like he had to towards the end of the season. (Probably for another thread not even rumour related)
Harriott - Was young and inconsistent with us, but also has valuable Championship experience. If he is a cheap option and someone Bowyer fancies, he will be useful.
Anyway any actual rumours floating around? back on topic....

If Bowyer thinks Harriott is good enough/not up to it then his decision is good enough for me15

Harriott has pace and skill and can score,his downfall is his decision making,Bowyer has the knack of improving players,if he could sort Harriott out,he could be quite a player.6

Not against Harriott signing could be useful coming of the bench but if we are to stay in this league we are gonna need better players3

I may have posted this before but I'm reminded of SCP, when he was manager, telling @killerjerrylee & I that "they " had nearly "lost" Callum the previous season....
He added that, together with Alex Dyer, they had managed to get him back on track , thankfully.
I surmised from this brief exchange that Callum's head may have been affected, or even turned after gaining a place in the first team & achieving relative success therein.
It was clear to me that the management at the time rated the young man & were happy to have "sorted him out"....
Since then, Callum has played for a Championship club, albeit spasmodically due to injuries but will have matured both as a person & as a player, with hopefully his decision making on the pitch improved.
I hope that he takes this opportunity to impress Bow with both hands (and feet) .10 -
To be honest fits in with my original opinion that he was cocky and arrogant. Thought he was ok, typical winger where he could be unplayable first half and non existent second half.Fanny Fanackapan said:I may have posted this before but I'm reminded of SCP, when he was manager, telling @killerjerrylee & I that "they " had nearly "lost" Callum the previous season....

Like you say hopefully he has matured and rediscovers some form, even if it ends up being elsewhere.1 -
Well anyway I’m not that keen on Harriott I wouldn’t turn my nose up at him I just think we need better now not squad bit parts.
I think he may sign this week if he shines, Bowyer has said “1 or 2” by the weekend, I think he’s the “or 2”.0 -
Where was Taylor, career wise, at 25, the age Harriot is now?5
-
Whilst we need better we are in the Ground Hog Roland shi t transfer budget situation as usual with the Rat. We need numbers and this awful budget will even hit us for our loan players. Harriet is where we are1

Now that (despite the Gerrard thing) wouldn’t make any sense for Liverpool. They need him to develop and learn to play at a higher level than last season. They will surely need him to be playing Championship footballRichard J said:Glasgow Rangers linked with Herbie Kane.3 -

Bowyer still hoping for a signing or two this week.1

TWIST AND SHOUT1 -
In my opinion for a fully functioning Championship team/squad then Lapslie and Morgan would be on 2-3 year contracts and loaned to League One to get a full season of experience. Pratley and JFC would be reserve places, Pratley for his experience and JFC as a chance of living up to his experience and as such Harriot would be a reasonably sensible ‘squad bet’.. may be 1st team material may not be... issue is we could end up at the end of the window with a whole squad full of the same!3

JFC is better than a reserve, one of our few players with experience at this level.9
