Lyle Taylor - Different Class
Comments

Taylor is a monumental player. His skill levels,decision making and game awareness is right up there- i'm astonished he has only been playing in the lower leagues so far.
Cant believe , in virtually the same move, we got money for Magennis and Taylor for free - incredible piece of business9 -
Different gravy to anyone around him yesterday. Even the little trick he did to take the ball past the keeper after the whistle had blown was pure class.3

Trump last rally sounded more like it was at a farm than a town hall with all the mooing going on.6

I understand what you mean to an extent but describing The Championship as a lower league is somewhat inaccurate. I reckon most people would rate Leagues 1&2 as the lower leagues, not The Championship.The_President said:Taylor is a monumental player.

Like Chris Solly, I would love To see Lyle playing in the prem wearing a Charlton shirt.0

MuttleyCAFC said:But paying Lyle what other clubs will pay him will show some intent wouldn't it? That is assuming there is intent of course. Ideally we make ourselves safe a.s.a.p and then the serious talks start. Bowyer has suggested there are a couple of things outside of just the money so it may still be possible if they are addressed.

I suppose i was thinking more along the lines of before this season, as this is the highest level he has played at?SoundAsa£ said:

Hoping we can convince him to sign on and stay. He is a proven star for us, would love him to stay and help us towards a magnificent season in the Championship and maybe even a tilt at higher things. If we can't convince him to stay then, fear play, he has always put in a great shift when fit and has been a great talisman.1

Difficult to add to what's been said already .Been coming here since 67.Firmani,Treacy,Horsefield,Killer,Bent,Yann-Love them all .But Lyle - I know a different era to some of the previous 'Valley Gods' he is just something else.Something priceless to us in the modern game.He is the Charlton that is in all,our Hearts that's why we come every week.Matt S what ever it takes ...... You know the rest.COYR

Funnily Luton at the Valley in the last two seasons is the only time he's scored more than once in a League game for us2 -

I love Lyle, but don't be silly geez... Yann is up there with the best to ever play for usJoshAddick said:IMO Lyle has done enough to put him above Yann in our best strikers of all time.2 -

Was quite surprised myself that he's only scored two goals in two games0 -
Lyle is up there too IMO.4

Yann was good enough to play a big part in a Championship title winning team. Taylor could easily do the same.CAFCsayer said:

Yann didn't make an impact in the Prem. I think Taylor has a chance of doing that - Yann was better in the air but Taylor's quicker which could make the difference.5 - Sponsored links:

Yann was a charlton hero but he isn’t close to Taylor. Same amount of goals but Taylor has played 30 games less.1
-
I think to talk about Taylor and Yann as "all time greats" is bit disrespectful to all those who have played in the top flight over the years.
I love both of them and they are certainly favourites of mine and stand outs amongst thier peers but I wouldn't put either of them in the "all time great" category.2 -
Great players at their appropriate levels. Of course should they have played for us in the Prem then they would likely have reached beyond their level, but still very good players.Cafc43v3r said:I think to talk about Taylor and Yann as "all time greats" is bit disrespectful to all those who have played in the top flight over the years.

TBH, i think Lyle is a better all round player than Yann.
Strange how they both 'struggled' before joining us.0 -
Would love to have seen Lyle play alongside Yann. That would have been tasty!6

Just as good a player, in a different kind of way .Todds_right_hook said:Yann was a charlton hero but he isn’t close to Taylor. Same amount of goals but Taylor has played 30 games less.5 -
I post on heresam3110 said:Some guy sitting behind me laughably said near the end of the first half we should drop him because he doesn't care, and we are relegated so there's no point in trying.
Whoever you are, and I hope you don't post on here, but man in seat 14/15 row r block f covered end lower, you sir, are a fucking salad
i thought I whispered it - sorry 😩

Can see a lower end Prem side taking a chance on signing Lyle on a free in the summer. If he did go,it would be with all our blessings. Just not the nigels eh Lyle?!1

Yann's talent was unearthed by the shrewd SCP, and once given the chance the player thrived as the whole club went on the march.
Somewhat as an unknown quantity Lyle brought instant success on the field aided by an undeniable charisma, yet crucially this was at a time of open owner disaffection and a broken club. More than anyone LB has brought the club back together but more than anyone LT has kept it together.
Lyle's advisers should remember that happiness doesn't buy you money - actually it's priceless. Lyle has the talents to take him far indeed and he is in precisely the right place to achieve that, firstly as a player with CAFC and then to enjoy the global possibilities and endless horizons afforded by our new owners. He is absolutely made for the media, for example. Chasing big paydays would be perfectly understandable but for Lyle there is a much bigger picture.

Paying him the money probably wants (and rightly deserves) would be one thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it made him the highest paid player in our history if we did...
But I suspect he also wants to see us build a squad that can also compete for promotion.
However, I’m not sure we will be in a position to do both. Nobody knows really what sort of money is going to be put into this team in the summer, but I have a feeling that re-signing Lyle Taylor would be the landmark signing ahead of any other transfers if they were to happen.2 -
Whats stopping him, Lazy Bastard!Chef_addick said:Shame he is the best crosser of a football we have as if he was on the end of his own crosses he would be up there as the League's top scorer.3
