can u sit down please 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Like i said on a previous thread no attempt is being made to sign Taylor.To me its so clear that Illiev is an alternative at a cheaper price, u lot do the maths, he aint coming back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted January 7, 2008 agreed "sit Down" I personally think Taylor had no intention of coming here.. i think he talked himself up a move or "shop windoed" himself by making it clear he wanted to leave Brum... he mentioned us as we were giving him a chance at the time... but it was a veiled "come and get me" plea to other clubs...jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry Brockes 147 Posted January 8, 2008 The company I work for have a branch in Leicester and I speak to them every day. My main contact there is the chairman of their equivalent of our supporters association who work closely with the board there. Taylor has definitely been talking to Leicester although my contact doesn''t know how far the talks have got. He has a young family and would prefer not to have to move house which he wouldn''t have to do if he signed for them. Mandaric thinks he''s a steal at £1m. so the asking price is not a problem for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted January 8, 2008 I think Taylor may still be bought, but Shackell may be sold. Rumour has it that he may be off to Palace and that would be a good deal for Norwich as I see Shackell as the weakest link. I watched him play in the Palace game and I would say that he failed to win about 70-80 per cent of aerial challenges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

renegade tootsie 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Roeder has said he may look to bring in two centre backs. Taylor is still available and Roeder deep down knows that a million is a good price. I would suggest there is still a chance he will come. Docherty and Shackell are simply not good enough and everyone know it. Shackell would be the cheaper third centre back, so bye bye Gary closed season for me.[quote user="Dexx"]Why has the talk of taylor gone quiet is the this a good thing or a bad ?[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 274 Posted January 9, 2008 Still bemused by the clamour for Taylor. His goals per game conceeded this season (1.5) is only better than Murrays (1.6) and marginally better than shax (1.45) yet significantly worse than Dion (1.25) or Doc (1.06).He does score best on points won per game played (1.6) with doc and shax next best (1.1) Dion at 0.75 and Murray 0.2. However Tayors points scoring (and the majority of shax) coincided with the arrival of Fozzy - without him in the side instead of 13 points the team only won 1 point.None of that suggests he is either significantly better than Shax or Doc nor that he is worth spending so much money on when we would get more points by getting a goal scoring striker.

[/quote]I agree to an extent ZLF - he wasn''t totally brilliant, but he did get better towards the end of the spell, by which time he looked much more secure than Shackell. IMO he never looked totally at home here though. However, he did score goals, which neither Shax nor Doc (until the Bury game) have done for ages. I''m willing to trust Roeder in his valuation of Taylor compared to the others he''s interested in, but I''d prefer it if Tiny didn''t go to the Tractor Boys, just in case he proved to be a star!

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 9, 2008 i think unless brum can get rid of him for a mill, then he will come on loan till the end of the season. and we will then sign him for 750k in the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant see him staying at birmingham past this transfer window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]those stats are slightly misleading ZIP, in that dion was guilty of losing his marker (at set pieces) for both the away goals at stoke - although officially playing as a striker. imo, taylor has an positive influence on those around us - we''ve missed a leader like malky for a number of years - and looks the real deal. also - we''re not keeping clean sheets anymore. finally, adams made him our no 1. target - if thats anything to go by!!!

shefcanary 2,402 Posted January 10, 2008 Brum''s Gold says McLeish needs to wheel and deal if he wants funds for new players, referring specifically to Tiny and Dann as being players who are available. It may just be a ruse to get other clubs interested and get an auction underway, but if Doomcaster has been practising poker recently it might still happen within our original bid price. As others have noted why pay big for someone who doesn''t even get into his teams reserve squad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
