Really dont like to be negative about a signing we havent even seen yet
But, this goes completely against the plan surely, we should be looking at younger upcoming players on a reasonable wage, whether that be our youth system or the U23 leagues around us.
I'd imagine the wages for Taylor wont be peanuts either and you have to wonder why aren't other teams looking at him? why does an MLS side not want him?
Its another short term signing and a signing of an unwanted player which is part of the problem at the club |  |

Mick has confirmed he is trying to sign him | |

I do get this one, experienced stop gap to cover Webster's injury. |  |

It does go against the plan but it's a stop gap whilst Webster is out.
Also have you seen how awful Berra has been lately?
We currently have him, Chambers, Digby & Smith as CB's. Digby will be dropped soon aswell if this run continues. |  |

Given that Webster is out for the season and Smith is still injured, would you rather that we were just left with Berra, Chambers and the inexperienced Digby for the rest of the season?
It makes perfect sense to strengthen where we are now weaker, especially so without the ability to bring in anyone else on loan. |  |

We've lost Webster and we may lose Berra, this is the one signing that actually does make sense. | | | |

May I suggest the novel approach of waiting to see how he plays for us before passing judgment? |  |

Thought Digby looked alright against Lincoln and was the only guy who competed with Fat Man in the air. I take your point but i'd like to see him given a crack now Webster is out. |  |

He can also play right back as can, it seems, half the squad. |  |

It does make perfect sense.
Even more so when you consider that if fit, he'd probably be our best centre back. Just under 200 Premiership games and still only 31 is not something to be sniffed at.
Could be a cult hero type with the way he plays. If he is fit and the feeling is he can stay fit, it's a no brainer. | | | |

Unwanted player? Most of the fans (myself included) would be happy to welcome him. Our defence has been leaky of late and with the Webster injury this signings adds experience for the short term with Webster out. |  |

Would a loan signing not make more sense in that case
Taylor is going to be on a decent wage and is going to want a couple of years on his contract
With Berra looking like hes off at least by summer we should be looking for a more permanent fix not a stop gap, didnt exactly work with Best did it | |

with apologies for getting involved in in-house matters, i bet he gets sent off within his first 3 games. (sportsmans bet, before anyone puts money down) |  |

If he wants a couple of years on his contract then that is a permanent fix. He's not that old, has incredible experience and if he's fit then would be a good signing even if we weren't desperate. A loan would be a short termist stop gap. | | | |

agree 100% and thats what id normally say to others that post this kind of negative comment
But its not the fact I don't think he'll be any good, but its at what price and how long will he be here.
And id rather spend the money we will be paying on his wages on a decent youth prospect and take a gamble on that | |

I mean it doesnt seem other teams are looking at him | |

We can't have a side of 18 year olds can we?
Plenty of experience and needed after Webster injury |  |

Agree in principal but worth saying that only 30 of those appearances are in the last 5 years. |  |

Our squad is much smaller than the rest of the league, and like I say, Webster and Smith being injured means we're shorter at the back | |

I'd imagine we'd sign him until the end of the season, possibly with an option for another year, which we could take depending on form and fitness.
Even if his wage is quite high, there would be no loan fee so, all in all, I can see some sense in this. |  | | |

Experience is not always key, we have Berra one side for the experience, Smith when he's fit.
My issue is for how long will he be in our back 4 if he ever gets in to it
If we are really going to go into the low budget club we need to look to the future and get a long term team together, Im not saying all 18 year olds, but signing 30 years olds every season like we are doing is not going to work with the plan ME has in place | |
| |
| Don't like the Taylor signing one bit on 13:32 - Jan 26 with 2823 views | NeverTellMeTheOdds |
I was against it when I first heard about it but can kind of understand it now.
We need leaders out there on the pitch with our run of games coming up and a possible relegation scrap on our hands. Taylor will bring that with him at least and we need an experienced head at the back right now as we are leaking goals left, right & center.
Am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt till I have seen him play a few games for us at least. |  |

Yes, I did too. We should certainly see if he can step up or he ends up being another pointless signing.
Still think that Taylor is a good idea for the rest of the season though. | |
