I sort of hover on here to check if we are signing anyone, but it's tough. People complaining about Lyle feigning an injury when they haven't a clue whether he's injured or not. Those elsewhere who have decided that ESI have less money than Duchatalet, after we put in a bid and had it accepted for the Peterborough lad. I get it - we urgently need players in give our injury crisis. But from there to the pathetic wailing and abuse of all and sundry at the club is a real view over the abyss. I'd say about 40% of our fans (or 85% of those who post on Charlton forums) need to take a lot less sugar, and get on with their lives. Honestly guys, relax a lot. Not every club in the league has the Duchatalet 'give it away' attitude to their players when a bid comes in - some like to keep decent players if they can.
No chance they've offered Casey Palmer for Taylor, if they have I'd take it
Bristol city offer the Chelsea reject who they paid 3.5 million for in exchange for Lyle Taylor, a proven success and the most Talismanic striker since Yann for CAFC.
Casey Palmer rejected Charlton as a youngster, so we now get a player who isn't good enough for City but will be fine for Cafc. Get Palmer on loan but exchange for Taylor, would be crazy. No crap owner was ever going to stop me watching Charlton or I would have quit when Michael Gliksten was the apathetic owner and I saw 10 of my favourite players leave. If Lyle goes in this window then my time may be up. I wish ESI all the best with their "model" but I can't understand it at present. If you have an emergency, you deal with it; The five year plan doesn't get past the first year if you sleepwalk into relegation. If Taylor goes to the Premier, then I could accept that in the Summer on a free but to Bristol city now ; that would just reflect we have no ambition. Yann Kermorgant played his best football from 30 to 33. and so will Taylor, I hope its for Cafc, but it look highly unlikely past this summer as our budget still reflects a League 1 club.
This is no disrespect to Lee and Steve but if we end up with their 3rd, 4th or 5th choices because we have a rigid wage structure then we will emulate Rotherham who were in the Playoffs two years running and because they were the lowest paid team in the Championship just failed to stay up.
Ps I'm aware we have turned down City but while Taylor hasn't signed a contract then a 4 million bid from a desperate bottom 4 premier could clinch the deal on the 30th and then we have 24hrs to pay over the top for an inferior replacement
“Same shit People start forgettin' what you've done for them Everyone in music's gonna take until there's nothin' left Your fans are switchin' up on you And they don't know how tough it gets Readin' through your old comments Tryna feel some love again”
To the tune of?
If you're reading this Lyle, there is still definitely plenty of love out there for you.....
...but we're too shy to show it in words on here ( especially as most Lifers are male.)
Get yourself fit, back in the team , do what you do best and see.
I love Lyle. Mrs Grumpy loves Lyle (slightly too much for my liking) He is a Charlton legend already. We know this to be true. The rest is jealousy, fear and young men on social media, living with their parents who need a girlfriend.

I said 4 million to reflect that it was said he would only be sold if we received a silly offer in this window.

Cheap.
I think Taylor is better goal scorer than (say) Banford at Leeds. Leeds would get c£140m for going up. Well worth the risk IMO.
Would you pay £4m for Toney? Unproven at this level and 6 months left on his contract?
People forget football is a business and, as such, players are just a commodity to be moved on whenever it best suits the parties involved. Would absolutely love Lyle to stay and have total respect for the man after what has done for the club. Would last season have been anywhere as exciting without him? But if he does get a better offer, who can blame him for moving on. If Lyle does go, would like to see him get a chance in the Prem rather than a move to Championship club. Also do not believe he is feigning injury. Where do the pessimists on here get their info from?

It's not cheap for a bloke who could be free in a few months time is it. He's still barely played in the Champ too. I can't see a club paying over 2mil for him now.

Toney doesnt have six months left on his contract.
I see that tweet has gained 7 likes, can someone copy and paste it for those of us who can't see twitter.
"Bristol City reportedly being in for Nakhi Wells suggests they have moved on from trying to get Lyle Taylor. Think likelihood at moment is that he stays until the end of the season".
As I know we all love to over analyse his social media I just thought I would add that going from his latest Instagram post it looks like he will be involved in the game today.

He went out for a meal the other night too at DLuxx, with Naby, Deji, Chuks and some random David Colin? So he's obviously leaving, must have been a goodbye meal.

Just seen it, pretty obvious he’s involved then, great news, off to delete all posts about him never playing for us again now 👋🏻

Expect a two minute cameo at the end. Lyle just wants to say a proper goodbye.

The last guy paid the bill. I hope everyone said "thanks Colin"

Yes, he posted a photo of what I hope is a new dawn. Plus a photo of him in front of the Charlton v Fulham caption.

Get Palmer on loan but exchange for Taylor,
