Jude Bellingham came on as a sub for Birmingham, crossed the ball into the box for their equaliser against us, then flew to Germany the next day and his transfer to Dortmund was announced. That’s being a true professional.
You are right of course, but the situations are fairly different.
Bellingham is a born and bred Birmingham fan, no way he wasn't going to play to help his club stay up. Taylor doesn't even like football, never mind caring about Charlton.
Bellingham also has another 20 years to earn his money from football. Lyle Taylor has one good contract left in him.
So Taylor only gets another couple of years, yet Bellingham gets til he's 37?
Taylor is likely to get into punditry once his playing career is over IMO. He's clearly a clever, but not very nice (to us) bloke. He'll still be making money from football long after most footballers, this in spite of his alleged lack of interest in the sport.

Or Bellingham gets crocked and has his career finished before he's earned a wage and dream move to one of the best teams in the world.. depends how you look at it.
Rangers league season starts this weekend so if they were genuinely in for him, surely they'd have signed him up and had him training with them for the past 3 weeks.
Starting to think that if there was anyone genuinely interested with a deal that was worth him walking out on his contract, something more concrete would've been out there by now?
Don't agents usually come out with what's going on to stir up a bit more interest?
My best guess for the delay is because clubs like Bournemouth (only just relegated), Bristol City (no manager currently), and the 4 play off sides are potentially interested and both the clubs and him are waiting to see what happens next.
I would imagine some decent Managers looking at how it affected LB would be having second thoughts on having a shit bag like him in the dressing room.
I sincerely hope his dream move never happens because if he'd been an honorable player I think we could have got out of this.. We will never know but I can't forgive him because his actions had consequences for everyone else.
If it's going to be a top of the championship/lower premier league move, then there's still 4 teams in the play offs (almost said this league ) who don't know which league they'll be in.
Would never happen in a million years but really hoping that our relegation at least makes a few more teams look hard at his attitude before taking a punt on him.

I think you're giving managers too much credit.
If clubs were willing to sign Lee Hughes, Luke McCormick and Ched Evans, i don't see many not wanting to sign Taylor just because he didn't want to play in 3 games.
When you think of his age and the money he must be asking for, it may have only left a couple of managers who were ultimately willing to take the punt, but I'm talking about before he walked out.
Hoping there' still a tiny bit of morality still left in the game and his options are now even less
His going rangers, with morelos going i think that's a cert
Rangers have a (fairly difficult) league match in six days and I think the Sam Cosgrove deal is further along. Neither Cosgrove or Taylor would be a replacement for Morelos (they’d both probably have a similar scoring record against Celtic though!).
FWIW - I don’t think Taylor is going to Rangers, but like @i_b_b_o_r_g I’m pretty surprised that he hasn’t announces his destination yet given his contract expired a few weeks ago.
His delivery man told my parents (who live just around the corner from him) that he hasn't got anything concrete lined up yet. No idea why he'd tell a delivery man that but just thought I'd share

He thinks he's clever as he's smarter than the average footballer, but then that isn't a particularly high standard to begin with, so...
He doesn't love the game but happens to be good at it...this tells you more about why there's no loyalty with him and there never will be....a proper word to describe him would be 'Mercenary' playing for the highest bidder.
His posturing on social media suggests he's either not very bright or incredibly arrogant? Despite pi**ing Charlton about he still seemed to expect sympathy?
I think it’s evident that Taylor’s attitude and refusal to play relegated us.
Its also quite clear that Taylor is probably a narcissist, from his arrogant stance after scoring or his penalty walk up. To his ridiculous haircut, to dying it pink and pretending it’s about a family member who had cancer.
The family member may have had cancer but it had nothing to do with that, rather, more self publicity for Taylor!

1) He’s not His.
2) going to not going.
3) Rangers not rangers,
4) Morelos not morelos.
5) I not i.
6) Certainty not cert. 😤
His main love is himself!
