Craigy 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I read a couple of Pompey forums and they are gutted about only getting around £3million for him. This would be a signing that would certainly please the fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis 277 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I think Taylor would be an excellent LB but I liked the look of him when he pushed up to Left mid Him and Gary O'Neil were excellent for Pompey. Can't understand why Arry let O'Neil go and is prepared to let Taylor go as well. Been on a few Pompey forums and they reckon if we get him for the 3m+ being suggested then it's robbery. They DO NOT want to let this boy go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue87 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 the thing is that although he's a stunning player they can't really expect much more than 3-4m because of his lack of first team action this season....a bit like the situation we have with buffel - don't get me wrong, i hope buffel stays, but if he doesn't we won't get much because he hasn't featured in a competitive match for a long time... but back to topic, matthew taylor would be a terrific signing and i believe a huge success at ibrox, imagine another taylor wonderstrike against the bheggars wouldn't mind if we had no january transfer action at all and landed him for the summer!

Zander222 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Why is everyone hyping Taylor so much, sure he's a decent player but I think some people are just basing this on the fact that he scored a couple of stunners last season. I'd take him but the guy can't get into the Pompey first 11, so I would't quite be milking myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibleedblue 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Portsmouth midfielder Matt Taylor will decide this week whether to move to Sunderland or Bolton, who have both had a £3.5m bid accepted. (Daily Mail) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest therabbitt Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I think we should test the water of maybe offering cash plus player - they could well be interested in Brahim - due to the fact they are missing so many midfielders with the African Nations - say a mill or half a mill plus Brahim??

Interesting idea, I have one problem, I think we play a lot better when Brahim is playing! Me too, Walter has stumbled upon our most adaptable formation using pace out wide with the three in the middle - I would like to see JCD wide right of the front three and DMB wide left, we would rip some teams to shreds. But Im happy with the selection we have at our disposal at present. (edit: Im resigned to losing buffel now). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yeah, I can see Buffel leaving now, there doesn't really seem to be a suitable place for him as he never seems able to play on either of the wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotBear 144 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The Evening Times is today suggesting that Walter would love to sign Taylor, but a fee of £3.5m and 30k a week in wages means a deal won't happen. The fee is reasonable for me, and I think we can pay it. But we certainly couldn't pay him 30k a week. We did the right thing with Scott Brown, who is never worth 25k a week. If we brought in Taylor on 30k, the likes of Cuellar and Hutton would expect the same treatment in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 As revealed in SportTimes last month, Portsmouth's Matty Taylor is a player Smith would love to sign to bolster his midfield and left-back options. But with a price tag of over £3.5m, and the word coming back that it would need wages of around £30,000 a week, finances are likely to scupper any move, even if boss Harry Redknapp does allow Taylor to go. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/displa...l_of_hutton.php Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Interest in Matty Taylor has waned after Rangers were quoted £3.5m for Portsmouth's back-up left-back, and Rangers may now consider an offer for David Murphy, of Hibernian.
