Fair enough mate we just have a difference in opinion then on the matter. I treat twitter as if you were in a room with all your mates and you would speak out loud and a conversation would begin. If one of my mates made a comment like that and left the pub we would all be thinking what's all that about. I understand he is a famous footballer so it's a bit different but the idea is the same. I personally love Lyle and think he's a great character but his social media for the past few weeks has been doing him no favours.stop shouting said:
But social media is attention seeky by definition. Whether it’s showing off pics of your holiday or your new born kid, it’s showing off and hoping for reaction. ie likes, follows, retweets etc. To say Lyle is an attention seeker is just moot. The guy interacts with fans, likes tweets etc he’s clearly fucked off with the grief he’s received in the last couple of days and rightly so. I don’t agree with everything he says but I welcome his views on the world and hope this little tiff doesn’t stop him from tweeting etcBraziliance said:Admittedly I have thought Taylor has been a bit attention seeky on social media but I wouldn't dream of abusing him, we do have some thick supporters. The minority who did need to hang their heads in shame, Lyle is a top bloke and even if he did move to Brentford he still wouldn't have warranted the abuse.
On the other hand and I'll make it clear I'm not defending the trolls, Lyle needs to show thicker skin, the more popular/better player you are the more attention you generate. In a world full of idiots it is very unlikely that you will encounter only nice people, especially behind a keyboard. Lyle needs to recognise that proper Charlton fans have nothing but respect for him and completely understand the situation. Basically just show some thicker skin and ignore trolls, otherwise you do come across a bit look at me on social media. Just my thoughts0 - 
            Brighton seem to be doing a live fans forum so maybe that's delaying things... Or we've made a hash of it.0

Never heard of Leko let alone Brucie Bonus!Cafc43v3r said:I am going for 3 still to come, the 2 Brighton guys and a brucie bonus. 2 of them perm. All though it will cock up my prediction in my own prediction thread.1 - 
            
So THAT'S where LDT is !Callumcafc said:Brighton are in the middle of their fans forum right now. Maybe they’ve asked us to wait until they’re done so they can announce a couple of club favourites leaving at the same time5 - 
            
Signed him on loan in my football manager game for Charlton. He fit your typical Charlton player mould... very shitse9addick said:
How much do you know about Leko? I hadn’t heard his name until a few hours ago so I have no idea what he is or isn’tLargeAddick said:
As far as I’m concerned Leko isn’t a striker and Bonne we have been told is a project so just the two strikers, would have liked another to be honest.Sage said:Senior players only:
Phillips, Amos
Solly, X
Lockyer, Oshilaja
Pearce, Sarr
Purrington, Page
Cullen, Field,
Pratley, Forster-Caskey
Kayal
Williams, Aneke
Taylor, Hemed
Leko, Bonne
Add in Wiredu, Lapslie, and maybe Morgan (although I think he will now be allowed out on loan). That’s not bad at all, pretty good in fact.

            I am happy to say I was completely wrong about how many new signings we would get and should have had more faith in LB and Gallen. I apologise0

            Hope the Aussies aren't in charge of submitting the paperwork for the Brighton 2.
We'll sign them just in time for the 2022-23 campaign.28 - 
            This transfer has been Charltonised before it's even happened hasn't it?5

I’ve seen him play, not as a striker, and his stats bare out that he isn’t one. Not a single senior goal. And my post was in response to someone who had suggested we had signed him as a striker.se9addick said:

Cool, I’ll bow to your superior knowledge. As I say I have no idea who he is or what he is so will let Bowyer make his mind up based on what he sees on the training ground.LargeAddick said:

This is worrying.....I do hope we got paperwork sent in time, was it last year some club missed it by 14 seconds?Callumcafc said:
Its also worrying that at 7.30 still nothing announced, that's 30 minutes after the 2 hour paperwork extension has expired.
They have to do the scarfy picture and VP interview.0 - 
            
Given the formations Bowyer uses I can see him playing Leko as a striker and helping him develop in that role.LargeAddick said:

            Wait for it ' I have a mate who knows the two Brighton player's and they refused to sign cos Lyle Taylor refused to train and refused to talk to Bowyer and then refused etc etc '3

The tipping point is when Lyle said he would not tweet.Bailey said:Wait for it ' I have a mate who knows the two Brighton player's and they refused to sign cos Lyle Taylor refused to train and refused to talk to Bowyer and then refused etc etc '0 - 
            I think the 2 Brighton players have been kidnapped by Dave off the train (the bloke who said he worked for Brighton but turned out he didn’t)7

Add in Wiredu, Lapslie, and maybe Morgan (although I think he will now be allowed out on loan). That’s not bad at all, pretty good in fact.Agreed, he's been signed to play up front. We need that pace in behind to push teams back and give Taylor, Williams, Chuks etc. space to drop into and work their magic. And he'll be an outlet when we're away from home and defending deep. As others have observed, he's been signed to fill the role Grant played last season - lets hope he's as sharp in front of goal.Bowyer doesn't seem to even be particularly bothered about having the option of wingers. I guess you could probably play Leko or Williams out wide, but unless we sign Harriot there won;t be a single (senior) specialist winger in the squad.2 - 
            mmmmmmm the bullshit posters are quiet, still give em 24 hours to get over Taylor still being here and they'll wander over to the Charlton for sale thread2
