Good work to get this young man back.
To come into first team football against a championship side, literally being announced minutes before kick off.
And having a CB partner pretty much in the same boat with usually with his age they're out with an more experienced CB. Is a credit to him
Great signing. Joke is on Cardiff

For his age and the potential he has got it's an absolute steal. Absolutely. I'd imagine Cardiff have put a pretty hefty sell on clause as part of the deal. If they haven't then they're stupid! Wasn't he out of contract? Not sure how they could ask for a sell on fee if so

Wasn't it more of a case he would have been out of contract if Cardiff hadn't taken the option as at no point was he actually out of contract. We seem to have gone a bit crazy paying fees/offering decent contracts, hopefully Hoole isn't going to be sold to pay for it. Fingers crossed Taylor is returning to partner Beefy.

Surely that means he wasn't out of contract then? If they triggered the option for another year, then he had another year 🤷♂️ Wouldn't we of had to pay a fee anyway even if he was technically out of contract as he's under 23? Obviously not as much as we had to pay for him now.

Obviously not as much as we had to pay for him now. We would have had to pay a fee either way. But Cardiff extending the deal allowed them to have more direct control over the negotiations. Possibly allowing them to insert other things in the deal like a future sell on clause etc. If they had let him become a free agent, then the compensation fee would have been decided by an independent panel. So yeah, potentially they have been able to negotiate a better fee.

Absolutely It actually seems we are building a team to compete at the top end of L1. Can’t remember the last time that happened

Welcome back James ,great stuff, his pairing with Taylor was vital cog in our run to promotion ,will he renew that partnership? Odds against IMHO. If Taylor does not return it will be interesting to see how James gels with new partner. Alfie great with Craig beside him but totally lost it when Tony left, will be interesting to see what combination we end up with.
