Why are we going for Taylor? 11:24 - Jan 3 with 10204 viewsKieranMcKenna1

He’s just going to be sitting on bench isn’t he? Would rather we spent most of our January budget on a number 9.

Poll: Are you Mick out or Mick in?

The deals won't be mutually exclusive - if they are the right deals for the club they will both get done - Taylor a long term target

We can do both. And re Taylor — he's very much not sitting on the bench if, as is entirely possible, we lose Morsy or Evans for a period. He's also at an age where he can improve and become a key player by next season. We can't afford the rest of the season to be a high wire act like the last two months have been, yes it's been a bit freakish but this stuff recurrently seems to happen to us and there will be more of it.

Just a gut feeling, but I wonder if McKenna feels he can play slightly higher up the pitch in a number 10. He's quite clearly not going to get in ahead of Morsy or Evans, and if we also sign Luongo, he would then give back up to those 2.

I imagine Taylor will also be seen as a long term investment, ala Leif Davis.

From what I've heard the belief in the club is Evans won't last the season (based on fitness stats), Morsy will prob get banned for a few games, and CH was running on empty. Hence we need another midfielder...

On top of that it's noted Freddie won't get enough goals, not likely to see TJJ again, and Burns is off the pace and needs a break.

We've got two of our four central midfielders out for almost the whole season.

Think we'll eventually get Taylor over the line, Phil?

Why?

The current CM pair will need rotating. Plus who's to say KM doesn't want more from his midfield.

Morsy is solid. Really solid. But maybe he lacks something KM wants?

I would rather we get a loan or short term cover like Luongo so that we can spend more on a number 9 or someone like Whittaker.

And quite apart from this, 16 goals in 106 starts means he seems to offer something that neither Evans nor Morsy do, quite apart from his style of play which I know nothing about.

If we want to go big on Taylor and a striker, we will do both deals.

Simple as that.

Morsy looks like he needs a rest, and Evans only just back from injury too.

Deal needs doing.

Given the way this is being reported by both Phil and the EADT, and given that these days they don't reports such things until it's pretty imminent, I wouldn't be surprised if it's completed later today.

I share that view

Since Ashton made his point about stories.. have we had a link which didn't end up as a signing hours after


I know we've had town keeping an eye on whitt and ferguson was a name etc. But the Taylor thing seems a bit to direct to be just a link..

Don't think it's that near but wouldn't surprise me if it got done relatively quickly. I assume he's one that KMc was talking about when he was saying something might get done early in the window.

Maybe he wants someone who can be a guaranteed minimum of 9 out of 10 each week as opposed to Morsy who only guarantees you a minimum of 8 out of 10 every week?

How so?

Why is it a hot take. They can't play every game. And sometimes perhaps KM would like something different in middle over the current pair that we have.

Hardly a hot take to think he's going to settle with those 2 just because they were here before he was.

No. But he might want the opportunity to be able to utilise 2 creative midfielders against deep sitting sides.

Because Morsy is consistently our best player, a very influential and clearly respected leader and would be (was until recently) a top CM in the Championship...he is as nailed on as nailed on can be...hence my comment...

We need at least 1 more CM for cover, the confusion for me is that Luongo seems perfect for that, ideally on a short term contract, so I don't see why we would be keen to spend £millions on someone else, maybe McK wants both? Or doesn't fancy Luongo? I agree that a quality number 9 should be our top priority.

Taylor would be seen as a long term investment, much like Davis...

Ahadme can only go to Burton in this Country i believe, so will probably have to be abroad.
