jonnyl@tic Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 BLUES CHASING LATICS STARLET 6/05/2009 (Todays Mirror) Alex Mcleish is making a £600,000 bid for Oldham's exciting young left winger Chris Taylor - and could make him his shock first capture for the Premier League. Birmingham boss McLeish (above) has approached the hard-up Latics about their 22- year-old home-grown star and hopes for permission to tie up the move quickly..

No. Just under a new contract and with other clubs interested that would be far too cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) No. Just under a new contract and with other clubs interested that would be far too cheap. I preferred the £8m from Everton for Taylor and Eardley. I think the comparison would be Anthony Pilkington at Stockport. He went to Huddersfield for £550k after half a season at this level - they know they got a bargain, snapped up under financial duress. In the context of: - played longer at this level - under contract - Birmingham have money - TTA don't supposedly need to sell - creates goals - scores goals I'd say worth double or more. Bids well in excess of a million please. Edited May 6, 2009 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) 600k ? No thanks... Over a million plus clauses... Edited May 6, 2009 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamathleticfailsworth Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Not a chance, just signed an improved contract clubs were offering that before the season ended has to be at leat a million pounds.

I'd consider 600k an insult, anything less than 1M would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think £750K would be more like it plus sell on......... although it's early summer and I would be hanging out for a lot more yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskedOwl Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Quite so. And according to other papers Birmingham are also trying to sign Kris Boyd, Lee Bowyer etc etc . No smoke without fire though though. I can see bigger clubs coming in for Taylor over summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Absolutely no chance, they probably turned down higher bids in Jan Bidding starts at 1 mill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie82 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 and is left or right footed. Ha ha ha, have you seen him cross on his left? He can swing his left foot but I wouldn't describe him as being two footed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUNGFOO Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ohhhhhhhhh hang on taylor is injured did he do it in a game or while in training reason i ask that is if he did it in training that could mean club cover up as he heads to a club for talks if it was ingame obv just injured,also taylor being a oldham fan i think he signed a bigger contract so the club would get more money from it etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Sheff Wed make a similar offer in January that was turned down as it didn't meet Latics valuation !! Would be extremely disappointed if he went for less than £1.5M + Add ons.

rudemedic Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 600k Pah they don't even get his bad foot for that. Double it minimum, but considering he was in the league 1 team of the year, is capable of playing on either flank, can go up front (and if Joe is right could end up there), has just signed a new contract, is a genuine Oldham fan (and so's his Dad) I'd say we'd be daft to sell for anything less than 1.5 mill with some nice add ons. We are not that hard up- the owners aren't going to let our best playing asset (with the possible exception of 20% of Micah) for cheap. This is the mirror not knowing its arse from its elbow and picking a player at random and a price at random for a new Premiership team. As to his foot having seen Chris walk down the steps from quite close if he's faking that then he should give up football and move into acting- he'd win an Oscar. That injury is 100% real and there is no cover-up- or at least that's what I think Kungfoo is asking when I managed to read what they wrote.
