Stitch_KTF Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 He didnt get rid of him, he was offered a new contract but declined as he was offered a 2 year deal at port vale where he was told he would be used in his favoured position of left wing rather than left full back.......and he was sick of abuse from the home crowd.

leeslover Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think Tays is improving all the time, he'll be ready to play championship football soon and possibly premiership football at his peak. Recent dip in form notwithstanding, Taylor has been better for us this season than Crofty was during his loan spell – Croft often lacked end product whereas Taylor has scored plenty of goals as well as tying defences up. He could step up into the Championship now and I don’t think it would make much difference to his game or effectiveness, if anything he would less often be double and treble marked so could really have a go at his full back. Whether he can make it in the Premiership is probably down to whether he adds the football brain and awareness that Shez was talking about.

OldhamSheridan Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 But, yet again, Edwards was :censored:. If he was at the club we'd be wasting a wage and scrambling around looking for a left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean scoring goals fair enough but I thought he was the best winger we've had since Adams and Holden. I'd have him back tomorrow..No question!!

fleetwood Blue Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I cant see Wolves wanting to buy another winger as Jarvis and Kightley are quality, Mcarthey must have been watching Eardley and by the way Mick you can have him for £1 million and Daniel Jones.

I'd have him back tomorrow..No question!! I liked him, don't get me wrong - I'd have him back before Kilkenny, that's for sure - but I reckon that if you actually work the numbers out you'd be surprised how few assists he provided either. Obviously there's lies, damned lies and what I do for a living, but other players have created more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martjs Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 We aint going to get 2 mill for him though as long as we are in this division We will get 1.5 mill absolute max I agree - we never get the "going rate" transfer fees. Look at our past transfers for evidence. Wimbledon on the other hand always seemed to do well - especially from City! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Wolves fans speculating that McCarthy might well be willing to make a seven figure bid, with Wednesday and Reading in competition for Taylor. http://www.wolves.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=139186 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznathe Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 heres daznathe to tell you that.. we do get the going rate when corney is in charge, unless he gambles on contract rebels. taylor is better than croft ever was, is, or ever will be. gregan does press ups in front of a full length mirror.

Bunty Blue Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If Taylor does go, I thought the Hartlepool No.19 who came on in the second half looked useful - I know running Eardley ragged isn't much of a yardstick but he beat other players, seemed to have skill and pace and I think put int he wicked cross that poor Lomax smashed into the roof of the net. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterjo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Eek I missed a relegation! Except Edwards had lost his pace after injury, wasn't that good and even relegated Port Vale fans didn't rate him. league two ??.......what planet was i on with the original post ??.....but more importantly, i meant to say marc tierney, NOT paul edwards!! i really rated tierney as a fast and solid l.back with good distribution....wish we still had him as he`d fit very nicely in the present squad.

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I can't keep track of who is supposed to want Taylor, but the TribalFootball site says: Blackburn Rovers have joined the interest for Oldham Athletic winger Chris Taylor. The young midfielder is rated in the £1 million class by the Latics and is also interesting Hull City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDHAMADE Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 the ever reliable News of the World mention today Reading may turn to Oldhams Chris Taylor And why not if they lose Hunt whose turning quite a few heads in his direction I think we should end all this speculation and name our price...............then if someone meets that valuation sell and same with Hughes, time to steady the ship and stop the wobble and unsettlement that's manfested itself amongst the players. If it isn't going to happen then everyone at the club can turn their attention to making those play-offs, going up automatically is highly unlikely given our inability to turn over most of the lower placed sides we come up against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
