New Approach for MT ?

I'd bet that he has a release clause in his contract that if matched means we can't do anything about it. As to why now Sheff Utd have seen he can cut it at L1 may cost them money but they've waited to compare & see how he performs at the level they need.

And to me!!

Why would any Div 1 football club pay £500K+(?) for a player a couple of week after they could have got him for free, if MT scores in every league game in August you could understand it but not after one league game (before today's)?. Although if he carries on like he's started then keeping hold of him in January maybe a problem but at least we'll not get a decent transfer fee.

Sheffield United are desperate, they've been stuck in this league for years now and have had another indifferent start. Taylor may not have even been on their radar in the summer but suddenly two goals in two games and he is. I imagine the release fee is around 500k.

I'd be pretty surprised if it wasn't £1m plus. Can't imagine DC willing to risk this situation arising and losing our best asset for £500k so early in the season and disrupting our squad.

All guesswork though of course. I think Taylor will inevitably leave at some point (my guess is January) but the way he's started this season I'd be gutted if it wasnt for some serious money and to a championship club.

Yes Taylor would have to agree terms... it just means we wouldn't be able to say no to them talking to him.

I agree with you, although Sheffield United are a big club and surely will get promotion sooner or later, they have been stagnant for a few years now.

I thought we looked good today can't be bad when you can leave Harrison and Taylor on the bench and play Oxford off the park just a shame we couldn't score 2 or 3 in the first half instead of letting them back in on 42mins Oxford struggled because we were too bloody good for them-----great how Matty took the banter from their fans when warming up then come on and put the fear of God into em and scored the winner UTG!!

Sounds like a transfer rumour for transfer rumour's sake to me. I personally think that if we're top 10 at Christmas Taylor will stay.

With a bit more quality in midfield I would hope for top 10 at least
