you could offer lyle maybe 12k a week that's doubled his salary - there will be other offers around and it will be up to him to choose, we are not a cash rich club despite our owner being quite wealthy, you cannot expect him to "sell" and invest in the squad it just does not make sense.0

the only way we would have spent 4m on Toney would have been by selling TaylorElthamaddick said:we were about to spend £4m on Ivan Toney to play alongside him???......save the money and ramp up his contract
make him an offer he won't refuse
not according to LB, but that's a different discussion
even more reason then to pay Taylor what he's clearly worth1 -

You're not though, because that would destroy the wage structure. As much as I want to keep Lyle, we can't afford to pay him a huge amount more than we would be able to pay other players. If we pay Lyle £25k and everyone else is on somewhere around 3-8k then the next time a contract comes up a player will rightly point out that they should be entitled to the same as him. The same thing has happened at Man Utd after they signed Sanchez and they can actually afford to do it. Players were furious at the amount he was being paid and that's why Marcus Rashford is being paid £200k p/w aged 21 despite regressing in the past year. These wages will eventually eat the game whole, but we can't afford to break our structure for Lyle now.Elthamaddick said:£4m on Toney + wages and signing on etc.
Lyle £25k @ week on a 3 year deal, still saving money
under normal circumstances I'd agree, however strikers are a different matter I think - especially ones with his record, it will be criminal when he walks away for nowt at the end of the season1 -
that is what will gut me that we have let a talent and a striker that hasnt got me this excited ( no smut ) since yann - just go for nothing.Elthamaddick said:Garrymanilow said:

Brentford have already agreed a deal for a striker from abroad who will join them in JanuaryDamoNorthStand said:Imagine if we are sitting in the play off places and Brentford are stuck in mid table. Not beyond the realms of possibility. Of course it could be the other way round - but it is a possible scenario looking at our squad now.
Would he really turn his back on the Prem to go and play at Griffin Park?!
In that instance surely he would at least stay till the end of the season0 -
Cant change the club budget as there are presumably other players that will want a rise. Keep him until the end of the season and let him walk for a final pay day, as long as we stay up that kinda all that matters right now.

Strikers do generally command higher salaries and Rashford is a young striker that is still learning.0 -
Perfect situation for a new owner though (if there ever is one).
Come in and immediately offer Taylor his last 3 year contract on around 15k-20k and have him lead the attack for the foreseeable future.
Currently? We'll pretend we offered him something decent and he'll walk on a free with the support calling him ungrateful and a money-grabber.5 -
Then he wouldn’t be fulfilling his contractual commitments...palarsehater said:
so if taylor refused to train demanded to be sold to another club despite having a 4 year contract you would have no issue?se9addick said:
I don’t think the game is ruined. Subjectively it’s better than it ever was.palarsehater said:whilst i agree with what others have said even if we offer him say 15k a week and another club like brentford come in at 25k a week would we keep him i doubt it, unfortunately it is the way football has gone - madness foreign investment and the general turning it into a sit at home spectator sports and all about sponsorship has ruined the game.
look at the way zaha acted last week, although them cnuts deserve everything they get for the praise they were giving him its laughable.
I have no issue with players getting paid big bucks, for generations professional players got completely screwed by clubs, and provided they are fulfilling their contractual commitments - which the vast majority do - then I don’t see an issue. It’s part of the reason that I don’t have the issue with the idea of players having agents that most seem to.0 - Sponsored links:

You realise you’re watching modern football, right? And that the division we’re has been enormously impacted by the advent of Sky and the Premier League (did you see Derby buy a player that we wanted back on loan from Arsenal for £10M?).palarsehater said:im against modern football in a big way for a 1/4 of the price of the sky and bt packages you can get a season ticket and watch 23 live games, much better value imo0 -
and the impact it has it that we have a sqaud with a value of around 5 million and fulham have a sqaud that is around the 170mill mark.se9addick said:

Aside from the fact that that was just one game, Rashford failed to progress at all like he should have between 2017/8 and 2018/9. He registered the exact same numbers of assists and goals despite playing substantially more minutes in 2018/9 and having more responsibility and being employed more as a centre forward. The point I was making is that this level of form and progress was irrelevant in his contract discussions because wages have shot up dramatically in general, and the salary being given to Sanchez has legitimised an enormous salary being paid to a player at Man Utd even though the player is very young and not playing at his best. As you say, Rashford is young and still learning, but he's already managing to get £200k a week. What the hell do they do when he's 27? And what impact does that then have on the next wave of talented players coming through? That's the danger of shattering your wage structure.Dazzler21 said:

No lee the reality is we are owned by some Belgian ponce, who doesn’t want to back the manager and doesn’t want to sell all those who were loving it that Roland kept Lyle - its only to make more in January.
lyle is still being a model pro instead of sulking he’s bagged 4 goals already, would be interesting to know what we will over him compared to other clubs, really is a shame that we don’t have an owner that will back a manager.3 -
I assume this means there's zero chance of him signing a new contract?
Also unless a side have money to burn, i'll be surprised if we get more than the 4m Brentford offered, when a side could get him for free 6 months later.
If you were Taylor's agent you'd be advising him to stay put and take a hefty cut that a club was going to pay for a transfer fee to him as a signing on fee.1 -
A struggling Prem outfit have money to chuck at the chance of survival.1
-
We might get bigger offers if he keeps scoring as that could lead to serious interest from more than just a couple of clubs.0
-
See Bauer's move... Unless Roland goes expect Lyle to leave also.1
-
Bowyers the one we really need to keep.20

Can only hope that if Lyle is likely to leave in January that we ensure we have a good few options lined up first2
