Wouldn't it be a nice change to be actually linked with a player we've heard off, and with a reputation that they might potentially be actually some good?
In normal circumstances I wouldn't have a problem with signing Blackett-Taylor he has got a high potential level, proved by his pedigree. Unfortunately we need players for the now and someone of equal ability to Kirk and DJ to put them under pressure.
If he was 4th choice it would allow Clayden to go out on loan. Win win.
Unfortunately at the moment it looks like he would be, if we signed him, realistically 3rd choice.
A rumour at last and a good player as well. Just waiting for the first person to spell Lowery with an 'a' instead of an ' e' and this thread will be properly back on track!
Says a lot if he's been training with us for 2 weeks and we're still undecided on him. Obviously not our first choice, so I won't be thrilled if that's all we end up with.
This will give us our 4 wide forwards, clearly going to be 4th choice (Kirk, Washington, Jaiyesimi) anyway, not the end of the world. But of course yes we need other positions sharpish.

I would rather take a punt on somebody like him as back up than use up a loan spot.
Free agents can be signed if they’ve been released before the end of the window, so we might just have to keep this thread open for a few more months.
Sorry @Scoham I “lolled” that. Just to explain it was a hysterical lol, with tears and banging my head against a brick wall at the thought of this thread, and the 99% drivel on it, lasting beyond the transfer window! 🤦🏻
Adkins “he is a player that I am aware of” I should hope so if he has been training with the club.
Shows how coy Adkins is on transfers when speaking to the media. Given those people who read so much into his comments I don’t think I believe a word he says
Tranmere fans seem to think Blackett-Taylor has more problems with his attitude than footballing ability.
Wigan fans said the same when he had a trial with them. It seems all agree that he is lightening quick and has ability but his attitude means he goes missing.

I knew he was a liar when he said that walking is brilliant.

Last season he made 9 starts and 11 sub league appearances. In League 2. Even less impressive than Gomes.

I'm ready to get a Tshirt made saying that.
