If this is true then Taylor is off. Clarke-Harris is an inferior like for like player
You got 4 LOL for saying that. I wonder if the same guys will be laughing at 11 pm on Friday. To me it feels like a replacement. If we have Taylor, Bonne, Hemed, Davidson and Aneke, why would we bring in Clarke-Harris unless Taylor was leaving ? We need a replacement for Gallagher.
As Rhoys Wiggins said to me at the Donny game, Football is so political now that poor decisions are made regarding players.
I so hope I'm wrong for once !
I wouldn't fancy being HE on Saturday if he sells Taylor.
@Covered End , you are the voice of reason on CL, tell me I have read too much into "Even Liverpool are a selling club" and "I will have to make unpopular decisions at times"
He did say Taylor would stay unless we receive a silly offer. Just bad vibes on my part ?
Yeah JCH should not be a replacement. He should be an addition to what we have. We were told Taylor was going nowhere until the summer unless it was a silly offer. We don’t need to have like for like transfer anymore, thought we were passed that shit. Be really disappointed if that’s the case.
Do you remember the good old days when we had the Rose-Tinted on one side, and the Doomsters & Gloomsters on the other?
Now we're divided into the "It'll be alright on the night" blind optimists - and the panicky Bed Wetters.
You'd never think that we're all batting for the same team. :
I like to think that the group like myself exist who want transparency as much as you can with transfers etc, but I can't have blind optimism when I haven't seen any evidence of it in an emergency window. Lee Bowyer is sounding like me disappointed with the evidence but will do the best he can to finish 21st or higher.
Maybe there will be more positive news by Thursday lunchtime.
Well, yes ...... we hope so, Sam.
It's not even about blind optimism, just a little patience needed until the deadline. We're fans, it's not that we can even influence things in any way.
As Lee Bowyer always says, "if it's outside of my control, there's nothing I can do that'll make any difference." Me? I'll leave it to those who do the stuff behind the scenes. I've got plenty of stuff in my own life that I have to get on with.

I think he was genuine, so if we got/get a £5M offer for Taylor then he may have gone/go.
But we lose about £7M in revenue if we are relegated and we are even closer to the drop than we were a few weeks ago.
If we really are ok for money, then I think we'd be really really stupid to sell Taylor with 2 days of the window left.
He is also our Talisman and it would be a massive blow to the club.
HE might get 17,000 boos on Saturday if Taylor is sold and isn't replaced with about 4 really good signings.
Hypothetical but would people take Clarke -Harris, Maddison and Gnanduillet if it meant Taylor left ?
All perms and we get £7m fir Taylor, I'd deal.
I can’t see teams offering more than 2-3 million for Taylor as he’s out of contract at the end of the season, that’s why I thought that could be enough to get those 3 players in with that.

Clarke-Harris is a 3rd tier journeyman, not as good as Taylor but plays the same role. Why buy him now unless Taylor deal is already done? What we are missing in attack is a pacy goal scorer and a Gallagher style attacking midfielder. Clarke-Harris is neither of those so he would be superfluous if he comes and Taylor stays.

Yet at the same time I know Taylor could be gone in a flash.
It's very simple. Just don't sell him.
At ANY cost.
It'd take Toney coming in for me to allow Taylor to go now
