Bishop Briggs Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 3 minutes ago, 8MileBU said: On the face of it it maybe appears a bit of a shitty way to act, but you could argue he’s protecting himself and his career. What if he’d extended his contract until the end of the season and a horror tackle in the final game shattered his leg scuppering any potential moves and left him with no income? Insurance would cover that risk. That's why players like Willian, Pedro and others extended their contracts in the same circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor is apparently on under £5k a week and has offers over ten times that on the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t imagine it’d be worth as much as a new 3 year deal or the like elsewhere. A bad injury and a long spell out injured might see his next move be far less lucrative or worse still, end his career and massively impact his potential earnings from football, possibly leaving him on the football scrap heap as just another bloke who’s needing to find a job.

Aidan Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Why should he risk his final chance of life changing money for a couple of games in a shite side?He refused to play games when he was still under contract, arsehole behaviour. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Is Lyle Taylor that gimp who outed himself as a Tory on Twitter? The ideal signing if so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it incredibly difficult to believe Galatasaraay offered him £40k a week. If they did its absolutely mind boggling. If Rangers swap Roofe for Morelos and still get change to play with, that's very decent business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snifter Pee Rot Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Anyway, nice that Nedo is allowed to discuss terms with other clubs without anyone speaking to Sevco first. Shows what a laughing stock they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepundit Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Apparently Lille offered £13m plus add-ons according to The Athletic which Rangers rejected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I mean £13m plus a sizeable sell on (20%) and maybe add ons if he scores 15 Ligue 1 goals, plays 5 games for Colombia etc. is a good deal for Rangers tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly, Mr Shankly Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Who is going to pay Taylor £50k a week (£2.5 million a year)?

I think Taylor has ruined any chance of a move by refusing to play for Charlton. I doubt Gerrard would have been too impressed with that, even if it was to ensure he was fully fit for a potential move to Rangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
