If the club have set his release fee at less than 2m they are fools,at the end of the day it's peanuts to the championship teams and what can you buy for that?

MT may have said 'set me a release clause of 500k/1m or I'm not signing'. We were better off getting half a season and 15 goals out of him then selling him for his release fee in January than losing him for free last summer.

Ideally we would keep Taylor and bring in a big strong scoring partner for him. That or Rory can recreate his loan form between now and Christmas and we won't need to bring in a striker at all! Rory is playing well, but YES not getting the goals so far - that'll come. How long will they take to come? He's been here permanently for nearly a year now... and still no sign....

In fact, do I recall Matty saying that he signed a contract so at least now if he left the club we would get a fee for him? Or did I just dream that? UTG!

We were better off getting half a season and 15 goals out of him then selling him for his release fee in January than losing him for free last summer. The saga over MT's signing in the summer has always left me thinking he wants away. Yes, he signed for us in the end - but didn't he make us wait! When he did finally put pen to paper, he was quoted as saying something like "If a club comes in for me now I can leave through the front door instead of through the back!". So for those reasons, I definitely think he's off in January. I don't blame him, he's not a youngster and he wants to play at the highest level he can. I have a feeling that if MT does go, we'll sign Luke James permanently and he's going to surprise a few people.

I do think James was signed in the expectation that Taylor was going elsewhere in the summer, and his opportunities here have been limited due to Taylor-James not being a natural partnership (no height).

Where did all the negative vibes come from about Matty wanting to leave the Gas in January is someone ITK or are we taking the local rag seriously??

You weren't party to the negotiations, you don't know for sure what cards either side were holding. So how can you say they are fools?

So how can you say they are fools? i guess we offered him a bit more money at the last minute else he wouldn't be training with Oxford and given their manager a handshake saying he's joining them

i only put £1m release clause as a feasible scenario obviously its guesswork. people say luke james replacing matty but his goal record in football is poor and the only time ive seen him play well was when he came on late against a tiring crawley team so i hope we dont rely on him to replace taylor should he leave.

Gridlock around Bradley Stoke, Hartcliffe Way, Winterstoke Rd and the Bath Bridge cluster. Cold. Trumpy. Brexity. Something to do with cryogenics or a space probe crash. A Harisson thread and a melt or two. January in a nutshell
