Blackett-Taylor sounds like your typical lower league winger , when he's on it he's brilliant but the rest of the time he doesn't do much. We do badly need depth behind Kirk and DJ if Clayden isn't deemed ready.
Slight concern about " Motivation issues" but that could just be Keith Hill related.0 -
Tommy Lowery Signed a new 1 year contract at Crewe in May so where did you get this story from ?!?!

Very good point.ForeverAddickted said:Its worth noting that Keith Hill (the Tranmere Manager) was extremely unpopular there last season.
Was so unpopular he got sacked just prior to their Play-Off campaign
So can question if he was partly responsible for being unable to motivate the player - Havent we seen it here recently?0 -

It's either because it's a done deal or the players agent needs exposure and he recently had a trial with us or perhaps he's been allowed to put it in the public domain to show another winger (and their agent/club) that if he doesn't hurry up and make a decision then we've got back up options.0 -

Bully boys? Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You've posted a load of rumours of which very few were anything like accurate. You posted about Clare after it had been speculated on all morning. A bit like me coming on now saying Blackett-Taylor is a target, it was hardly breaking news.Addicks59 said:Sean clare WAS mentioned before he signed for us by no less than me on page 402.But like everything else out came the bully boys rubbished it.3 -

If that was the case, wouldn’t you go for something a bit more ambitious than an unattached winger no one has heard of?ValleyGary said:

No idea about Blackett-Taylor but it’s not a name that’s sets the pulse racing is it.0

Trouble is he criticised TS for his "ridiculous claims" and begins this bit of fun with "it's really simple".alburyaddick said:
Obviously getting these deals done is not really simple, however , I think this is a perfectly reasonable tweet and thought process. The top 4 players are all playing in League 1 and will all be on lower wages than we should be able to afford bearing in mind 3 of them play in front of crowds of 5k or less. The loan player will be a Prem loan. Maybe they want to go to the Championship but money there seems even tighter than our League and as we reach the end of the window , its reasonable to assume that prices will fall a bit from those quoted above.
None of us are privy to what Thomas's financial limitations are but I think the basic premise above is a fair one that with the players quoted, all of whom are likely to be available and on 'relatively' low wages we would be building a team for the next 3-4 years and we would have a much greater chance of promotion which brings a stronger financial model.
The claims from TS we’re ridiculous and are proving so, his raising of expectations is a large reason why a big section of the fans are unhappy. That can’t be disputed.
and to be fair I didn’t Criticise him in the post only on here even though. Some people seem to think you can’t be a TS supporter but still disagree with things he does.
If it is "ridiculous" now, it was equally ridiculous then, and if this is true then more fool anyone who took it seriously and now feels daft. Reality is we are in League One in a post-Covid reality and competing against clubs like Sunderland, Wigan and Ipswich (Just as examples) who can at least match us in the market and probably offer more.
Sandgaard is CEO of Zynex Inc.
I thought you could believe a man of that standing.
I know better now, but I don't feel daft.
I won't be so trusting again, which is a pity.

Never heard of him and he's at Tranmere so not hugely enthused but come on guys, you're missing the key point.
He's got a double barrel name!3 -

Well Wiki says he joined Villa at age 1, so he was an early developer.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Wonder where it all went wrong for Blackett-Taylor? Maybe there is something in the 'lack of motivation' at Tranmere. His wiki said he played for England U19s and scored 2 in 4 at the age of just 16. Now you must be fairly decent to be that far ahead of your age group.0 -

Looking back it was a team worse than the sum of its partsAgree Aribo and Konsa where better the season after but we did have top prospects from the u23’s coming through and making a difference in the first team. That’s something we sorely lack this year.1 -
