Yeah, I think they're both quality but just think Lyle has the edge cause of his better ability to beat a man and drift out wide etc. There's no doubts though that they were pretty equal in terms of being a physical player and Yann definitely beats Lyle skillwise. I would have loved to see them play togetherChizz said:
Do you rate him higher than Yann?Braziliance said:I've resigned to losing him if I'm honest. I love him as a player and think he's our best striker since Benty but I just don't see Roland turning down a fee of 5 million or whatever it is, when has he ever really cared about doing something to keep us happy except keeping Bowyer? At the moment I'm not too bothered by it either, if he goes and it causes a decent enough chain reaction, i.e. protests ramp up and it forces Roland to go. Taylor going and CAFC being sold is a better scenario than Taylor staying and we have Roland for the foreseeable future.
I reckon he goes and we get in one more loan and Taylor from Bristol City for a cheap fee2 -
In terms of importance, he has to be up there if not beyond Yann's League 1 season?Chizz said:

Yann - P39, GS 12, A 5
Lyle - P45, GS 25, A 13
Higher goal participation, more goals scored, works as hard, made other players look better.
To those saying Lyle did nothing before joining us...
League 1
17/18 P52, GS 18, A 8
16/17 P50, GS 14, A 6

the only thing i don't get it lyle seemed over the moon to score last Saturday and not being funny he must of known people would come in for him - is likely a very tough decision for him to make.2

the last bid including the cash up front.
starting to hopefully think a new contract may of been signed a little while back and hasn't been announced yet, as this is v unlike Roland.3 -

Didn't LB try to get LT the previous summer? LT saw out his time at Wimbledon and came to Charlton despite bigger money on offer from Sunderland?
LT knows about Brentford's alleged interest of course but he's already proved he's about more than just the £££'s.
With Brentford's new found liquidity are they not gonna be fishing for players proven at this level, rather than a bloke with 3 years in League One being the pinnacle.
I know transfer fees have gone batshit but £3M+, they can get all sorts for that kind of wedge.
Whatever LB & SG have been saying to the twunt, I'm sure they'll have been majoring on "Mr Duchatelet, if you sanction the disposal of the fans' favourite and our leading goalscorer you'll unleash hell, they'll come looking for you, you really don't wanna find out how mad they'll get, plus we'll be screwed no goals at all"1 -
They’ve got a brand new 17k capacity stadium to fund and probably think they can sell him on for a profit if they buy him cheaply ?JaShea99 said:1 -
2 hours 38 minutes to go.0

Maybe the bids were made to Gallen....and he hasn't told roland...🤔JaShea99 said:3 -
brentford probably have a budget of around 5/6 mill to spend i am confident that if they made a cash bid of 6 mill cash we would sell.0

A chance to get 3m+ off his losses, you'd think he'd have bitten their hand off.2 -
Still don’t believe he is going anywhere. Bowyer said Dijksteel leaving was his call. As long as the same goes for Taylor, and I believe it will, no way is Bowyer letting him go.0

Please don't shoot the messenger and sorry if this has already been posted, but someone I know, who is at SL for other business on a regular basis has just said on Facebook (1 hour ago) that she "knows Lt and Bow had a big fall out on Tuesday and that's why he never trained yesterday". Only passing it on as this is his thread on the forum.4

I hear he has been active on Twitter... blocking people!2

Oh I only saw a tweet a mate sent and it didn't seem too bad to me.
I have not looked any further as it would make my toes curl no doubt.1 -
Trawling Twitter us not going to help his headspace at all.2

The bellend meter has gone into overdrive on Twitter. One idiot referring to him as a “prima donna”, and another having a moan about the fact that their kid has his name on the back of his shirt etc etc.
Its as if the man is at fault because he did well enough for another club to be interested in him. He’s not completely thrown his toys out the pram the way some players often do, but one tweet trying to softly get a message across for people to show some patience and some of the fan base start calling him all sorts.
These pricks really let us down as a fan base15 -
