Lyle Taylor

[S.sct]

Not sure if there's any truth that we are interested in him but he was impressive today. Looked strong and mobile and caused problems for us particularly in the 1st half. Would certainly welcome him at ER.

His link up play was good, but he had 2 or 3 chances to score and didn't take them. He could /should have had at least two goals.

[FromTheCapital]

Heard a few rumours linking him to us. Must be doing something right in scoring 27 goals so far this season and caused us a few problems today... If we could keep Leigh and have Taylor alongside him then that would be a very decent partnership imo :agree:

[S.sct]

Take your point but the link up part and bringing players into the game is exactly what we need. Think he is only 22 so plenty to come from him.

[Speedway]

They're roasting him over on the falkirk forum with stuff like, disinterested, poor finishing, cost us the game, poor body language, Billy Big Time etc etc.

[neil7908]

His finishing wasnt great today but his overal contribution to the team in terms of 2 assists and his general play was excellent. Very fast for a big guy, dragged our defence all over the place and having scored 27 goals already this season he must have a decent eye for goal.

Would like him at ER on the basis of todays performance.

[DH1875]

Unfair if you ask me. Looks OK to me.

[Sir David Gray]

Looked good in the first half, should have put them 4-0 up before half time with a great chance, which would have probably finished the match.

Less of a threat in the second half and in extra time but he looked as though he was maybe carrying a bit of an injury or just tired.

He's a poor man's Leigh Griffiths but he certainly has potential.

[Eyrie]

Well if they don't want him then I suppose we'll just have to take him off their hands ....

[sleeping giant]

Love the look of this guy. Been telling my Dad and boy all day that i hope we sign him. 19years old i believe.
Looked excellent and very intelligent player.

Be really chuffed to get him.

[hibeequinn]

taylor,fulton and alston have been a standout for falkirk this season easily replace robertson or cairney for alston and doyles leaving so shove taylor upfront and sign griffiths.

[West hamBERNIAN]

i liked the look of a few of there players, although it is possible we made them look better than they are. not like there setting the 1st division alight. don,t think you could fault his finishing, always on target and williams did well to save the last effort. wish scott robertson could finish like this lad. that miss was dog sh@t. Heres hoping he comes back to haunt the arabs in the final:wink::wink:

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Sunday mail saying were in for him, holt saying we wont get him on the cheap. "Hibs wont get Lyle on the cheap" is the title.

[SteveHFC]

Link?

[hugo boss]

Link? buy the paper.....

[Dashing Bob S]

The Sunday Mail could be right. We could be in. But there is the possibility that it won't be cheap. Money-strapped Falkirk must be looking forward to cash bonanza that free-spending Hibs will throw their way.

[lucky]

Falkirk manager wants £300k for him. There is no way any club in Scotland outwith Celtic will pay a transfer fee in the summer.

[1875Hibees]

Falkirk manager wants £300k for him. There is no way any club in Scotland outwith Celtic will pay a transfer fee in the summer.Certinaly not one that big for a player like him. Decent player but not worth that much.

[Hibbyradge]

I've recently been told our interest has cooled as Falkirk want much more than we can afford.

[Andy74]

I've recently been told our interest has cooled as Falkirk want much more than we can afford.

Or more than he's worth might be another way to put it. I'd be surprised if many teams pay any sort of fees for anyone other than Celtic.

[ahibby]

Or more than he's worth might be another way to put it. I'd be surprised if many teams pay any sort of fees for anyone other than Celtic.

Agreed and anyway he hasn't proved himself at a higher level than first division. Falkirk could be left with a player who although sharp is no more than average and one who is de moralised at not being allowed to move on and up.

[blackpoolhibs]

I have only seen snippets of him, and of course the semi final. He looked decent, held the ball up well and brought others into the game.

He did miss a couple of quite easy chances, but if the price was right he did look a player that would enhance our squad/team.

£300k has been mentioned, if true thats too much. Just for the amount of goals he has scored, he must be worth a punt, but £100k would be my valuation. I'm not sure we'd spend that, and we might not even be interested in him.

[HibeeMG]

I'd much rather we got Stevie May from St Johnstone (on loan at Hamilton this season). Holds the ball up better than Lyle Taylor and obviously has an eye for goal given his record this season.

[neil7908]

I have only seen him play in the semi-final but although he lacked the scoring touch, his overall link up play was good and I think he created 2 of the 3 Falkirk goals plus giving our defence the run around for the whole 90 minutes.

In the right circumstances I would like to see him at ER but obviously we wont be paying 300k for him. Priority should obviously be doing everything we can to keep Leigh.

Not sure how long Taylor has on his contract or what his thoughts are about staying on at Falkirk but there are lots of factors outwith the clubs valuation that could have an impact on any transfer dealings.

Whatever happens though (even if by a miracle we keep Griffith) we need to add 2-3 forwards in the summer so I think we just wont have the budget for any signing that demands a transfer fee. No massive shame in that as there will be players available for nothing this summer who can enhance our team.

[Stevie Reid]

The Falkirk board will decide how much they accept for Lyle Taylor, not Gary Holt.

[neilmartinrocks]

I'd much rather we got Stevie May from St Johnstone (on loan at Hamilton this season). Holds the ball up better than Lyle Taylor and obviously has an eye for goal given his record this season.

Dinnae think Stevie May has long tae go on hes Saints contract if I mind right he signed a 1 year extension last year to take him up to late 2013.
Guid player and getting better seeminly.

[God Petrie]

We could probably get griffiths for £300k. Falkirk can bolt.

[Kato]

HaHaha - good one.

[Kato]

What with only having a "modest increase" in their debt, Hearts will surely be able to squander that amount on him to stop us getting him.

I thought he was out of contract in the summer?

Personally though Sibbald the standout and also Taylor thought Duffie looked well short of pace and Boozy was ripping him from half time onwards.

[Hank Schrader]

Jay Fulton is a cracking player too

I worked beside a Falkirk fan and he raved about how good some of their youngsters are. I've been impressed with what I've seen of them.

[greenlex]

Jay Fulton is a cracking player too

How ugly is he? The genes don't bode we'll.

[s.a.m]

He's just won Div 1 PFA Player of the Year

[Pete]

I'd prefer it we all left Falkirk alone and let players like Alston, Taylor, Sibbald and Fulton get on with developing their game at a level where there is no pressure. If they are good enough they will come up to the SPL with Falkirk.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer these young teams to be left to develop without being broken up by vultures. The Scottish game is fragile enough and the day the fans of teams like Falkirk give up the ghost is the day the game dies.

There are only so many body-blows people can take before the collective mentality of supporting Man U or Barcelona kicks in. Every year more and more youngsters who should be supporting Falkirk are fawning over TV teams they have nothing to do with and coming to the conclusion that Scottish football is rubbish. Something should be done to protect young, up and coming teams and clubs with a vision. It's their only hope of remaining slightly competitive and attractive to the youngsters who also have foreign leagues at the touch of a button.

Remember how infuriated we were by the vultures circling around our golden generation team the minute they looked half-decent?

Heard similar from 2 Falkirk ST holders. I hope we miss out on him to be honest, definitely not worth £100k for someone who has slightly more experience than the 2 young guys we have got. I would hope we would be going for someone with more experience. The semi is definitely not a guide to Taylor's week to week form, we have to remember he missed all those chances :wink:

I think hes got considerably more experience than the 2 young guys we have, played down south, regular in the first division scoring goals, Scottish cup semi final etc, Caldwell and Handling have no where near the experience he has, albeit still at a young age.

The boy scored plenty goals last season .... Yep was in first div but that was only place Leigh had scored before he came to us

IF he signs lets get right behind him

Manager Pat Fenlon says Hibernian are not preparing an improved bid for Lyle Taylor after Falkirk rejected an approach for the striker.

The 23-year-old Englishman scored 29 goals for the Bairns last season and has a year remaining on his contract.

"We made our interest known to Falkirk and they have declined that," said Fenlon in a Hibernian TV interview.

"It hasn't gone any further than that. That's where we've left it and we're not pursuing it any more."

Yes but probably anoth half hearted attempt with a joke of an offer that we already knew would not be accepted..recently we have seldom if ever captured our main signings and end up with *****..at a time when the dogs are in the gutter and the huns are struggling we have a chance to spend a little cash and ensure a high league psition and give the fans sometrhing back for recent support through tough times and very poor teams and what do we do NOTHING in the strikler department.
What does it take for fenlon and petrie to realise what we could achieve this eason by spendin a few ££££ obody is asking them to bankrupt the club but surely we should be able to compete with Dundee utd for the like of Goodwillie and offer falkirk enough to get the lad taylor who if successful would recoup any costs when transferred.

Not too many strikers there which is the position we are desperate to fill.....other than LG of course who I do believe was our first choice target this season....and as you will be well aware is not as yet been signed. 2 weeks away from a sorie into europe and not 1 experienced striker fit and on the books even you cant believe that is a good situation to be in..Even if we sign someone we will get the ususal hibs angle not match fit yet...thats cause we aint flippin dealt with the signings in a proffessional big club manner.

Petrie is well known for being tight as a gnat's chuf and this undoubtably has it's upside (being nothing like the bankrupt-cake-baking window lickers along the road mainly) but the downside is that there are times when football seems to come a distinct second to maintaining a healthy set of accounts.

Previous examples of this include selling GOC just before THAT cup SF and going into previous early European fixtures with something like a reserve team. There appears to be absolutely no appetite at ER for pushing the boat out a wee bit in the hope of European advancement - and I can assure you that LTG is not the ony one feeling a tad frustrated about it.

Supported them all my life brought my daughter up to support them, season tickets for me my dad and daughter for over 20 years.......merchnadise bought that could fill a shop myself, away trips most weekends european trips.. thats what I call "keeping the faith"

The fact I am a LITTLE worried at lack of striker signings is I am sure shared with 80% of the support.
Are you happy with this situation?

Think I have earned the use of "kep the faith"

I'm not in the slightest worried on that, we will sign a forward or two. I also don't think 80% of Hibs fans are worried about this either, most sensible ones will know we wont go into next season with what we have now.

Agree 100%

Would much rather we sign the right striker(s) in due course, as opposed to signing any old striker(s) now!

[hibsmad]

How about the 3 from this year before training had started?

I think we may be talking about different things here.

I am referring to our main targets, but if the topic is first signings then I suppose you are right. However, going by that logic, that would mean that the young laddies we brought in last week were more of a priority than the strikers we are still chasing.

Our main target this season is Griffiths and at the moment we don't have him.

All I am trying to say is that if during a transfer window we consistently captured our main targets early then we would be doing one of two things:

1. Not aiming high enough, or

2. Spending more than we can afford.

I am not having a go at the club over their policy, I am trying to defend it.

We can't really have it all ways. If we can't count the ones we identified and got in as first choices and main targets then order evidentyl doesn't count for anyhting. So, if we sign a main target on deadline day that'lll be just fine.

And I realise you are trying to defend us here but many are not!

He wasn't that bad, especially at first :wink: I remember him getting picked for a Scottish League Select Side, along with John Blackley and Arthur Duncan.

I'm struggling to remember who it was against, but it may have been the 2-2 draw against England at Hampden. John Blackley was terrific in that game and it was significant as his opposite number in the England team was Colin Todd, who had just joined Cloughie's Derby from Sunderland for 175k. It was Sloop who everybody was raving about after the game, I used to enjoy those matches, actually, it might have been an under 23 game and they were equally as good.

My memory's finally gave up, I'll be on the horlicks next!

Sloop was at his best for Scotland (in my memory) in the pre 74 WC game at Hampden v England. 2-0 I think.

Story below - he's not worth more than £100K, IMO: -



by Chris McCall
sport@falkirkherald.co.uk



Lyle Taylor remains a Falkirk player this week after the Bairns board rejected three transfer bids from clubs north and south of the border.
The striker has become one of the most in-demand players in British football after scoring 24 goals in 31 games last season and being named the First Division player of the year.

Hibernian became the first club to try and tempt the Englishman away from Westfield when they tabled a £100,000 bid earlier this week, only for it to be flatly turned down by the Falkirk board of directors.

Heraldsport understands that the Bairns are holding out for a fee believed to be in the region of £200,000-£250,000 and will refuse to settle for anything less.
Hibs are now out of the running after they told Falkirk they would not be increasing their bid.

Two mystery clubs – including at least one from England – have since tabled their own bids for the 23-year-old, only for those to be both rejected for falling way below Falkirk’s valuation.

Taylor has a year remaining on his contract and is understood to be fully committed to playing for Falkirk if the club rejects all bids for him.

The striker has already found the net this season when he was twice on the scoresheet in last weekend’s closed-doors friendly against Queen’s Park.

[Part/Time Supporter]

£200K+ is far too much for a First Division striker with one year on his contract.

Falkirk will need to find a decent sized English club with more money than sense.

[GlenrothesHibee]

A year left on his contract? Falkirk are dreaming if they think they'll get 200k for him.

Peterbro' just sold a lad to palace for £4.3 mill. He was non-league couple years back. £200,000 for taylor is a steal look at donaldson's success down there.

[Heisenberg]

Peterborough would definitely be able to chuck a 200k fee to Failkirk having sold a player for that. Would agree with others, maybe too big a risk for us to take.

I'd be more than happy with a one dimensional striker that scores nearly 30 goals a season.

[Wilson]

That is not so much sad as ridiculous. Imagine putting all our efforts in that one direction and still failing to land him. Do we just shrug our shoulders and say we tried our best?

Even if we do land him can he do it all on his own?

LT is a good prospect and we'd do well to get him. Not instead of anyone but because we need players who can hit the back of the net.

We'll miss out trying to get him on the cheap though.

[Heisenberg]

LG is a special player but let's be honest, we are never going to be able to get a player of the same ilk in (unless we somehow manage to get a deal sorted for Leigh). I feel sorry for whatever strikers we sign as they'll instantly be compared to him which is highly unfair.

[brydekirk]

Still think we'll have one more go at signing him, but don't think it will be this month.

Personally I hope that anyone who has played for us previously signs 20 year contracts with their clubs with minimum buy out clauses of £18m or above and then perhaps we can look to move forward for a change.

It was Taylor's fault from a Falkirk point of view that they never beat us in the Semi. Two missed one on one's at very crucial points in the game. I would take him, but I would not pay anymore than 100k for a first division player who has a year left on his contract.

[patlowe]

I agree mate, they can bolt with this 250k lark.

£100k is a lot of money for a 1st division club, particularly given the contract situation. It makes me think Falkirk must expect a bidding war and I think hibs would be best to stay out of it.

If he is heading to peterborough then theres a chance they might get that, but if i were rod i wouldnt be giving them anywhere near that.

[Since90+2]

Woudnt pay a penny more than 100k for a guy who is untested at SPL level.

If you take into account the initial 200k that Falkirk are looking for plus his signing on fee and a decent weekly wage on a 3 year deal it would be a sizeable amount of money on an unproven striker.

[WestEndHibee]

I know how they feel. Purely from my time with Falkirk in footy man. Problem was that the bidding war never materialised and I was stuck with an unhappy player at my club who, in the end, stayed out a long contract and faded as a player.

Back then, if a club bought a player for (say) £200K, there was a more than decent chance they would get the money back if the player was sold on.

Taking Paul Wright as an example, Hibs bought him from QPR (IIRC) for about £250K. He then had a fairly indifferent season with Hibs and was sold to St Johnstone for about the same fee. He did better at St Johnstone, but then suffered a broken leg and they were relegated in 1994. Despite him having been out injured for the best part of a year, Kilmarnock paid over £300K for him!

Bosman pretty much destroyed that concept at clubs of or below Hibs' level. The only way Hibs would make money on a player like Taylor is if he suddenly improved into being a top SPL player.

Apparently the guy is kite. Not heard a single Falkirk fan say anything good about him. Even looking back to the semi he should have put it beyond doubt but didn't. I reckon IF we've got anything like £100k-£150k to spend on a striker there's a few better options about.

[HibeeMG]

he sounds like abit of arrogant fanny to me. also have there no been a few falkirk fans that have said he's no as good as made out to be?

my mates a accies fan and i ask him if taylor was any good and his reply rhymed with ducking sprite, compared to stevie may

I've brought Stevie May's name up on here a few times and have probably bored people by doing so. I watched quite a few Pars games last season including both the Accies games and both Falkirk games.

I know that watching two games (three in Taylor's case) isn't lots to go on but as far as I'm concerned May is much a better player than Taylor. His hold up play is much better, he looks to bring others into the game more (something I think Taylor lacks as he seems quite selfish), and his finishing is very much at the same level.

Whether either of them can make the step up remains to be seen but I'd much rather Hibs took the gamble on May than Taylor and would be delighted if they did.

And at 20 years old he is a good age for a possible sell-on later.

His last two years (on loan at Alloa and Hamilton) have seen him score 44 goals in 55 games.

Latest from Lyle: @lyletaylor29: I haven't gone to Hibs Deryk...






Deryk being a Falkirk fan.
Make of it what you want, but I'm not impressed with him online.
You can forgive him that I suppose but he is attention seeking.

[Ritchie]

100%.

In only a few days he's showing himself up as the worst kind of social network attention seeking drama queen.

The type who post things like "Fuming" or "Cant believe this has happened to me again" etc with the sole intention of getting a reply like "what's up babe, u ok?"

Loathesome dregs of society!!

says him with a name like Tyler!

Has he not signed a contract extension with St Johnstone? He was at loan at Hamilton if I remember right?

[HibeeMG]

He was indeed.

I'm not sure if he's signed an extension as I've not heard anyting. I do know that last his contract was due to end in the summer so would have been free to speak to other clubs (although a development fee would probably have been due).

A Falkirk player told me LT is raw but definitely a talent. Also told me at beginning of this year that all at Falkirk expected him to be a Hibs player this summer. I still think it will happen.

I heard Taylor was off to Rotherham, in any event a few guys from my work are ST holders at FK and they say he is nowhere near as good as he would like to believe he is, and that his goal return for the number of shots/ chances he has is pretty poor. I don't think him not coming to us is a massive disaster.

Perhaps not him specifically but the fact we have not yet signed a similarly prolific and attainable striker is a worry.

If Fenlon valued the ability to score goals as much as he likes his midfielders we'd be looking at LT and another experienced front man. The trouble is folk think we'd be looking at LT as a one man replacement for Griffiths. That shouldn't be the case. He would be a potent member of a front two. We should be looking for a strike force more than one striker.

The silence from Hibs is deafening as usual.

Maybe you should email the club to remind them we need a striker, they've probably forgotten :cb

[Thecat23]

The way I see it. Hibs knew pretty early what Wolves wanted for Leigh. We couldn't give them whatever that offer was.

What i hope is Pat and the board would have at least 2 strikers in mind who they could get in fairly early. I know some players like to hold out and that's not Hibs fault. But going by past signings we seem to leave things to the death. Yes we have brought in a couple early and Hibs get praised and rightly so. But if we do end missing targets due to time wasting for saving a little cash, I'd be really disappointed because this season we should be looking to finish in the top 4 at the very least.

A proven striker ASAP would ease this pressure then find another striker along with him as quick as possible. Nothing wrong with the young lads but sorry anyone thinking they could do a job every week in the SPL are kidding themselves. It's a hard job and a good experienced striker would help them.

I also think European games are huge, and not a waste of the. A lot of cash can be made making the group stages.

The odds of Hibs making the group stages are almost nil. Hibs would be underdogs against Malmo, never mind the two rounds when the clubs from bigger countries come in.

That's not the point, I'm saying the further we get the more cash. So a strong side is needed. What's the point then in finishing as high as you can to then say. "We won't go anywhere in it so no rush for players".

Irrespective of how many games we play in Europe, Hibs have known since April that our season starts mid-July and that Griffiths, Kuqi and Doyle would likely be away. To not have signed a single striker and be relying on a 19 year old who has only started around 2 games is inexcusable IMHO.

I was responding to a post making out that Hibs would make significant income from a European run by pointing out it is highly unlikely. Yes signing a good striker ahead of the deadline would help, but it would only move Hibs from being big underdogs against Malmo (say 1 in 4 chance) to slightly less big underdogs (say 1 in 3 chance). And that's just to get past Malmo, never mind the clubs from the bigger countries that enter in the other two qualifying rounds. The reality is that Hibs have only won one European tie (against Dinaburg in the Intertoto) in 24 years, yet folk are talking as if Hibs are now going to win three ties against good opposition!

Why is everyone thinking it's Malmo we'll be playing, it was 0-0 first leg, a 1-1 and droeghda(spelling) will be our opponents.

[Hibeescott]

I don't know about anybody else but the following seems to make sense to me:

Fenlon and his staff would have known for months we needed at least 2 strikers. Therefore he will have been scouting some, agents will be on the phone constantly offering him others, and he will have a list of strikers he would like that may be available.

He has then started at the top of the list ability wise, and didn't get sparky. With the fact that we have now bid for Lyle Taylor suggests that, in Fenlon and his staffs mind having watched Falkirk a fair bit before the semi, that Taylor is one of the best we can hope to get.

All those on here saying they hope we don't get him, well surely then we will end up with someone of less ability than Taylor. Anyone with half a football brain should know that better players will become available towards the end of the window as bigger clubs bring in more players, therefore making others surplus to requirements.

So yes, in an ideal world we would have had strikers signed up by now, but for all those saying Taylor isn't good enough, he is more than likely number 2 or 3 on Fenlon's list. So we either now bring in someone not as good as Taylor, or WAIT for better players to become available.

I reckon Falkirk think they're an English club and so are setting English prices. I mean if Swansea splashed out £5m on Jonjo Shelvey (that's right, £5m) then £200k aint too much to ask surely :greengrin

No way £5m for him:confused:. Normally it is Liverpool who are being taken for mugs, this time though they seem to be doing it to others. Has Laudrup actually seen him play. He is awful. I saw him play for England U21 and he didn't hit a team mate with ANY attempted pass. Truly shocking and shows how truly ****ed up football is. Will probably be earning crazy money too:crazy:

How is it his ambition in question? Until Falkirk accept a bid from us we aren't a choice available to him.

TBH if he's got no ambition and a Div 2 side is what he wants, then we've dodged one here, we want players who want to play for Hibs not just anyone who wants cash.

He and his agent turn round and tell Falkirk he's not going to Rotherham in Div2, they then might reconsider Hibs bid.

Jeez so Falkirk turn down £200,000 from Rotherham and accept £80,000 from Hibs. I bet you would be delighted if we ran our club that way.

No, what I'm saying is he has a contract and if he wanted could just run the contract down and move where he wants, whether they've accepted Rotherham's bid or not, it's then upto the player where he goes, not Falkirk, his contract is still with them no matter who bids for him.
