    New owners might mean we can keep him from going...

    That involves someone buying us or Roland being hit by a black cab and someone with sense just flogging the club to be rid of an increasing cost.

    The summer was the time to offer a stinking contract just after wembley

    I mean, how the hell do you replace a striker like Taylor. What he means to the fans, his attitude on and off the pitch, his all round team play. Oh, and 20 goals a season.

    You can't replace all that Taylor brings, so unless we stick a fat wedge of cash in his pocket, he'll go. 

    £15-20k a week would keep him and IMO would not be excessive at all. Roland shan't do it though.

    It'll be another Kermogant, he will leave and help someone else get promoted. Hopefully Roland has learned that lesson.....

    Roland learn a lesson? How does someone who knows all learn anything?

    There'll be plenty of desperate/ambitious clubs that will pay a large transfer fee for a prolific striker in January. The idea that teams won't pay more than £1m for a player that would make such a difference to their season is ridiculous.

    I agree that this applies to most clubs but we always seem to have our pants pulled down with transfer fees so I'd be surprised if we get anywhere near what Taylor is worth in Jan.

    In principle you're right.... as one player alone he is worth it. The problem is when all the other players in the team who have also made strong contributions also want a pay rise when they see what LT is on. The issue is the overall structure pay wise - but without seeing our finances in detail and income - I couldnt say whether we can sustain a pay structure that includes players on £20k a week.

    Why doesn’t Lyle sign an improved 3 year deal, with a minimum release clause of 10 million, sounds high for someone of his age, but if he keeps performing well, he’s well worth it, everyone’s a winner!

    We all know the alternative, a poorly handled bit of business, player leaves on the cheap / free, ramps up the pressure again on the owner, and round we go again, cmon Roland I know you’re a big big fan of Charlton Life ( you’ve quoted it so many times) show a bit of forward thinking and intelligence with your 2 per cent of time dedicated to us! 

    If we’re worried about breaking our wage structure, then give him a good rise, with a stonking bonus based on goals scored.

    Toney will replace lyle
    Toney a totally different player to Lyle, couldn't do the hold-up work that Lyle can.

    Can Hemed do that?

    i.e. It'll be impossible to get one player to do all that Lyle can do, instead if we can have two players that share what he can do

    Lyle is an exceptional player and I've loved watching him play - find it hard to believe he hasn't played at a higher level. Not phased by the Championship and has to be attracting attention.

    Contributes all over the pitch.

    2 options for you (prices are just assumptions for arguments sake)

    A. We keep Taylor all season but he leaves for free in the summer.

    B. We sell Taylor for 5m and replace him with Toney 4.5m and Taylor (Bristol City) 500k.


    C. Roland trousers the fee as we have the Brighton guy!

    I love what Bowyer is doing. Talking Lyle up to get the best out of him. Also knows that he is not going to sign another contract (like he has done at his prev clubs) and putting it out there to encourage a transfer fee. On a footballing decision if Taylor goes for £4m or more and we are in a position where we don't look like we are going to go up or down he can use some of that money. Hasn't the Peterborough guy only one 1yr left on his contract so he could go back for him. Worse case scenario we have Hemed. £4 mill for a 30yr old?

    Disappointed in 2 idiots ruining it for everyone today. So disrespectful! I take so much time to sign things and take pictures with fans and a pair of idiots ruined it for everyone. I shouldn’t have to take to social media to ask for some respect, but I feel I do.

    So I’d kindly ask that people respect me enough not to come to my house, or wait outside my house asking for pictures and autographs. And I request that on a match day, people wait, I will get round everyone! All of the players always do!

    We know, understand and accept that the fan base is the life and soul of the football club, but to be called a tart when someone stamps on your foot pushing past security having been asked to wait is disrespectful. And I don’t disrespect any Charlton fan!

    Some of our fans are really doing a great job encouraging him to stay.

    I was there with my son. Would say there were probably 50 odd people around 6.15 waiting for autographs.

    I didn’t see actual incident as Jonny Williams appeared at same time from players area but we had seen Lyle chatting to someone in main reception and I believe these people got bored of waiting and tried to push through and break up the chat

     Don’t think it was the same people who called him a tart, that was a fella at the south stand once he got into his motor.

    I don’t understand why we don’t give Lyle the contract he wants. Yes it will cost us money but if he leaves we will get £Xm, if he stays and I hope he does he will be happy. If we don’t give him a contract he will walk as a free agent and we get nowt. So what is the problem??

    and the dipsticks who went to his house should be banned.

    Good player but my god is he an attention seeking whinger, people going to his house not only crosses the line but is also double weird, however taking to twitter to have a whinge about being called a tart is proper teenage girl behaviour.
