I do not blame Lyle Taylor for leaving Charlton. He was under the Southhall regime. (A miracle we survived that episode). We need a goal scorer , goals with help us get promotion. Stockley is a good lad, but definitely needs a partner. I would have him back. League One is level.

Same reply as other thread

southall was booted out before Taylor went on strike......just saying 

But Southall was the reason that Lyle didn't sign a new contract. If he had signed a new contract, as he had previously hoped, to stay at Charlton for another two or three years then I have no doubt that he would have played in all of those final games.

It matters not one jot whether he was offered a contract or not. He didnt fulfil the contract that he HAD signed. Basically downed tools & went on strike. If he ever comes back as a player will be the day I stop going. 

I think we need a striker and Taylor is a good one at this level. Martin and the team have to get the best player they can within budget, and if it is Taylor then so be it.

That said I don’t think there is any chance he would return.

More chance he would return than we will have the budget, I’d guess.

Is he still at Forest?

Yep. Been on the bench every game so far 

He won't be for much longer. He's probably 5th choice striker at best now behind Awoniyi, Dennis, Johnson and Surridge. And that's if they don't buy anyone else which you wouldn't put past Forest at all.

I'm sure Taylor will be loaned out this week.

Yep - he’ll go out on loan to a Championship side this week. Just hope not Millwall 

There is more chance of us signing him than Millwall.

He will be forgiven after 2 or 3 goals for us, they will riot before half time.

You reckon? They are really struggling this season. Absolutely nothing up front. Couple more defeats and Rowett will be gone - think he’d be very tempted by LT. 

What would their fans have against him? Think he was a non-kneeler too which they’d like!

He has said some rather "nasty" stuff about Millwall in the past, remember he started there.

both Lyle and myself will not be apologising

A very similar outcome for Taylor

https://talksport.com/football/1350446/newcastle-ryan-fraser-eddie-howe-simon-jordan-turd/

Taylor doesn’t like the game and it’s just a means to earn money for him.  Therefore he’ll be delighted with how it’s panned out for him - getting paid &15-20k a week to have a couple of hours kickabout with your mates every day.

no idea about Ryan Frasers character but if he’s on the £50-60k a week salary he’s rumoured to be on I reckon he’ll be ok taking the money and training with the stuffs for the next 2 years

Wouldn’t have been good enough for us this season.

This aged well 😊

Have you been stewing on this for 7 months?

No. The thread resurfaced because someone commented on it.

@MillwallFan - Been punting on Zak Flemming shots every week. Followed him in the Dutch division. He must have minimum of 5 shots a game from anywhere. Big payday when he decided to leave that rusty toolbox.

Yeah, they’re talking about 20 million already. Think we have 1.5 for him. Deal of the century so far 

Is this drop kick (Taylor) actually playing football for anyone at the moment?

I wondered that recently. He’s not even making the bench at Forest 

Bet he is still making the payroll though

I know someone that works for The FA at St George's Park and they saw Taylor there a few weeks ago doing rehab, on what I don't know. 

Broken metatarsals from dropping his wallet on them? 😏.

He was the summariser on some game I was listening to on the radio the other day. 

He got injured in training which ruled out a loan move in January 

Saw him at Bluewater on Saturday which i thought was a bit odd. Perhaps he never got a buyer on his house 🤣

He's had his day now. Move on
