Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 With Forte and Holmes as backup to Lallana, can't see this being anything near a possibility, although to be fair it would be a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 If true, and it is a big if, he would be a cracking signing. Can also play in the centre, although I'd expect him on the left with Lallana playing more advanced I. The centre if even in the right if Chamberlain is off. Either way, would take him in a second.

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 The skates have been crying out for carrot cruncher to re-sign him, so for that reason alone I would be happy with this, he'd also be a dead cert to score at Nottarf Krap.

Mowgli Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 I just cannot see NA / NC wanting to sign a player over 25 - unless they are truly exceptional. Even then only up to 27/28 and as a central defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 With Forte and Holmes as backup to Lallana, can't see this being anything near a possibility, although to be fair it would be a good signing. IMO you've just described two players who are completely inadequate as backup. Holmes has consistently proved that he is made of glass. Great on his day, but has been injured for more than half his career. Can't really be relied upon just yet. And Forte, well the jury is still out but from the times I've seen him play I just don't rate him as good enough, I think it was a rather strange signing. I'd love to have Taylor on board, he's a class player and would absolutely improve the side immeasurably. Him on the left and Lallana on the right would work well, assuming AOC does the offski.

exit2 Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 (edited) he might be the bloke having a medical today at Stapelwood at about 10.30 if the rumours are true. I guess if they are true then will be shown off tomorrow, but I'm sure we will soon know who it is if they sign and like others have said if it is Matty Taylor, that is a quality signing Edited 22 July, 2011 by exit2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 Yes, I'd be taking my season ticket back because we start buying players with proven Premier League experience (even though its only mid to bottom of the table clubs). That said, its not immediately obvious where he would fit in, and I'm not sure the wages he would want would fit our structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 he's probably not gay. but does it matter if he is? To the knuckle-dragging elite, I'm not sure which is considered worse; the fact that he's probably not gay, or that he used to play for a rival team. It's an absolutely senseless mindset that we can have players like Crouch and Chamberlain respected in one way, while Taylor, Fuller etc get derided for previously playing for the same team (they've got no other formal ties with the city either). So small minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
