I'll be joining the t bone club, all is forgiven! Tbone will be switching sides, too, so he can continue his support of Matty. We can but dream... |

When everyone calms down we can probably agree that if we had a decent stadium and decent trg / academy facilities players wouldn't leave us. (assuming we are also paying competitive wages of course...) THAT'S THE BIG ISSUE. if stuff like this happens in 5 years time that's the time I'll get mad. Unfortunately this is where years of going nowhere gets us. Unfortunate for WAQ and Co that they're going to take all the flack for this. Agree but why flack for those in charge for 11 months though? Holding the parcel at the wrong moment on this one. sh** happens, I'm gutted but will move on. Actually really gutted!! |

Are we officially in meltdown now? Maybe he's winding them up and he's going to pull out at the last minute :-) with one that big it might take a while to pull out. btw - maybe it will fail him the medical?? |

IF he has gone or is going and IF a twitter conversation posted between someone and Wael is genuine it was "out of our control, it's what he wanted" now IF that's true, may he burn in hell. (if not well done MT, we'll all be behind you on Saturday!)

Just out the interest, how would people feel if the release clause was north of 1 million? Anything less than a mil will be gutting because of the silly money that floats about these days. If City have given us £1m+ then good luck to them because it obviously means they see him as a solution to their goalscoring woes and that is a big gamble considering their precarious position. If it's anything less then it smacks of Lansdown trying to chuck money at another problem, namely that the "gap" has been narrowed considerably of late. They've paid £2m for a foreign striker in the summer that can't get a game. It's f**k all to them. |

This makes the following interview very strange. Was DC in the dark? In denial? Weird
Bristol Rovers boss Darrell Clarke has ruled out the possibility of star striker Matty Taylor being sold during the January transfer window.
Taylor took his tally for the season to 18 goals after scoring twice to help Rovers to a 2-0 success over AFC Wimbledon at the Memorial Stadium this afternoon.
The striker, who penned a new and improved two-year contract in the summer, is expected to be the subject of much speculation over the next four weeks after already being linked with a host of Championship clubs.
But Clarke was adamant that Taylor will be staying put and that he was more interested in adding to his squad during the window when it opens on Monday.
"We don't need to sell anyone so what happens will happen," Clarke said. "Matty is not going anywhere. We'd have to be talking a silly money offer of something like £10 million. Even then I don't think I'd consider it.
"Matty Taylor is a fantastic player and he will get all the plaudits today because he scored the goals. His work-rate and his desire are what sets him apart for me.
"I'm more interested in what we do in the window. There will be some activity during the window but I don't want to talk about that today following a fantastic performance from my team."
Taylor, meanwhile, is braced to be the subject of some January speculation but says his experiences of last summer will allow him to focus solely on what is happening on the pitch.
"It (the speculation) affected me a bit for a couple of weeks last January," Taylor admitted. "I come from a non-league background and that was all new to me.
"I am prepared to deal with it this time around because I learned a lot last summer. I took my time to decide my future and I had my reasons for that.
"I am ambitious and so is the gaffer and that is why I re-signed. The club is heading in the right direction and things are going very well.
"I don't see why we can't kick on again over the second-half of the season. We usually pick up over Christmas and the gaffer has given us a target to better the number of points that we got over the first 23 games."

EP reckon they are about to name a potential replacement for Taylor. Saying that they also printed mehewmagic's tweets so clearly they'll print any old rubbish to fill up space!

Welsh press say Cardiff City did approach Rovers but after initial talks backed-off, suggestion was the money involved to much for Cardiff, can only guess this is reference to wages offered by sh*t rather than the fee involved unless the £300k figure is wrong.

We've had our money's worth from Matty Taylor.
Not convinced he's as good as Cureton, Stewart, Hayles, Roberts or Lambert and he won't be the next Vardy!
Good luck to him - he'll need it!!!
Lansdown has taken our ball and gone in for tea!!! 😀
