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.

As long as Bowyer has full buy-in, Taylor can leave. If Bowyer doesn't want him to go, and believes he will apply himself correctly for the erst of the season, I wouldn't let Taylor leave, regardless of who we think we can get in instead. Given our league position, there's too much risk attached to a new signing to be trying to swap out such a key player mid-season. Save it until the summer if Taylor will not sign a new deal.

No no no. Never seen any of them play and none of them have a proven championship record . Selling our best player in January has never worked well - Parker, Reid, Kermorgant

Sell Taylor and we’re in trouble imo. He’s more than a decent striker for us. He’s a massive part of our recent success, Bowyer’s ‘general’ on the pitch and a unifying force for the fans.
A lot to expect a League 1 striker new to the club to fill that void. Impossible I’d say. Fine if we’re comfortable mid table. Crazy if you’re fighting to stay up like we are.
Replacing Taylor, who fits our system and has scored Championship goals with somebody who has done neither when we are 21st with 3 games coming up next month against the teams below us is a very, very big risk I would say.

We really have to try and keep Taylor but he'd never been a proven championship player either before we gave him a real opportunity and he's almost 30.

Taylor is right footed. I think JCH is left footed.

I hope it's MS is planning for the summer if Taylor leaves
If Taylor goes between now and Friday night the effect on the team going into the Barnsley game is a huge concern

Really can’t see him going this window.... as others have said, it would be an incredibly risky move.
