Be very afraid. Years ago when Stuart Fleetwood was one of the hottest non-league properties at FGR he went to seek fame and fortune at Charlton - where he spent all but 8 minutes of his time there on the bench or on loan. Eventually found his way back to the lower divisions and is now to be found plying his trade at Sutton United. The pathways to the higher divisions are not always paved with gold.

Fair bit of Agent talk tbh. MT wants/needs another contract so agent will try and get best amount for him This isn't even agent talk, it is a speculative piece written around one quote, on Sky News, by Darrell Clarke. I love it that people in one breath come on here and rant about the Evil Post trying to cause speculation surrounding our players, then a whole host of people read this on the Daily Mail site written by a 16-year-old work experience boy most likely, who has been told to flam it up around the Vardy quote, and suddenly it becomes completely kosher and a whole debate rages around how we are going to replace him. People will be aware of Matty Taylor, but the idea of a pretty much untried striker going straight into the Championship seems an almighty stretch. Let's be honest, no big clubs have even taken a punt on Jordan Rhodes and his record is phenomenal. Who are these clubs who are monitoring him? As I said three weeks ago in a blog piece, nearly every team in the country is looking for a goalscorer. Let's just be grateful we have him and hope he doesn't go in January. I fear the money might be swallowed up by our need to pay off our high-interest loan rather than be spent on a replacement. |

If Rhodes contract had half a year remaining, domyou not think prem clubs would be interested and looking at him? Some of us need to wake up and smell the coffee. The possibility of Taylor leaving is very high and I only expect him to carry on progressing now he is high on confidence and has an ideal strike partner alongside him. As I said if I was a manager of a league on club in particular I would seriously be taking a look at him. You'd be daft not to as you could get a potential bargain with only half a season left on his contract. |

They key thing is his contract. The same reason Windass is likely to leave soon. If Taylor had 2 years left on his contract then he would be more expensive and less teams would be willing to take the gamble. With only half a season he would be a cheap gamble for someone.

There's no argument here. I said myself that he would be a target in January. What I don't understand is why people are getting exciting by a piece based on one quote by our manager that appeared on Sky Sports News. There are absolutely no other facts in this story and not even any speculation about who these 'championship' clubs might be. I don't think the Daily Mail spent two minutes on it to be honest, it is just clickbait. Maybe if DC has thought about it a bit more he might have just given Sky a boring quote. The fact he mentioned Vardy in the same breath is the only reason this story materialised

...Or maybe DC WANTS to sell him. Unusual for him to say anything without thinking. I'll get my hard hat...

If he leaves DC will see very little of the money, it will go to paying off the Wonga loan, well a bit of it. True. I would like to think we could reinvest it in someone like Kristian Dennis. It will be hard to uncover another Matty Taylor AND expect them to do the business straight away on a free. That would be great but when have we ever reinvested a transfer fee back in to the squad? |

For years people have moaned that we should be picking up cheap non league talent and selling on to make profit so the club is more self sufficient. Now we have its a problem! I don't want to see him leave but accept that's part of the game and it's far better for all concerned than signing players on the wane with no sell on value. I'd have no problem if we had a steady flow of strikers etc to bring on and sell on, but we struggled for. Years to find a steady striker and I fear it would take just as long again. |

I'd love to know where all the money from transfer fees and decent gate receipts over the years does actually go. It would be sad to lose Matty but imagine the two or three quality players at League 1 level we could get for an imaginary £500,000 for MT. |

Best of luck to Matty, I wish him well; hopefully with Matty off-ski, DC can bring in Matt Tubbs, top striker who knows all about goal-scoring. UTG

Out of £500,000 we probably wouldn't even put £100,000 back into the squad, but for a player with only half a season left on his contract we won't even get that much |

If DC has been told to generate his own cash for extra players then MT would be a prime sale. Especially if he is playing hard ball with his contract.
Can't see that he would as he comes across as a very down to earth player.

Perhaps DC knows MT is planning to move on in the summer so he's grabbed the chance to talk him up now so he can be sold in January,with Tubbs already lined up as his replacement, or perhaps he rates Tubbs higher and wants to move MT on? Whatever comparing him to Vardy as surely to attract interest him in? Otherwise why not just say something boring like MT deserves to score as he works hard in training etc?
What's odd is until the last couple of weeks MT wasn't even guaranteed to start now he's being compared to Vardy by DC.

Selling your best player and only goal scorer would be madness unless there is some kind of master plan to get 2/3 better players in for the money.
Whatever fee DC gets for Taylor in this imaginary scenario, I very much doubt Higgs will let him reinvest all of it.
I find all this talk needless in Rovers present predicament. The team are doing well on the pitch so don't rock the boat.
