Bradford interested in Ryan Taylor - update: bid rejected
- Thread starter Sam Barker
- Start date
I criticised Adams on mis judging what was needed for League 1. I ate humble pie when he turned it around and I trust him now to make signings and keep essential players so we remain on our upward trajectory or at least remain mid table until we can strengthen further in the summer.
I think Adams has released Ciftci and Blissett because they are just not good enough and/or they will never fit into Adam's preferred formation. I guess he's confident he will sign one or two forwards who will improve our squad and fight tooth and nail to keep Taylor. In order to do that, Taylor must be offered improved terms.
As much as we are all desperate to see incoming players, we can only judge this transfer window when it has closed.

We are not a complete basket case without Taylor in the team because we were on a run of 2 defeats in 8 games when he returned to the team (not brilliant but light years ahead of our poor start) but since he's returned to the team we've been unbeaten in 8 games, it's now 2 defeats in 16 games.
His only defeat was the first game of the season when he was injured in the first half.
His inclusion in the team have helped us step up a gear.
Without Taylor.
Played 19, won 4, drawn 5, lost 10. 17 points from a possible 57, average 0.89 points per game.
With Taylor.
Played 9, won 5, drawn 3, lost 1. 18 points from a possible 27, average 2 points per game.
Adams will have his targets after months of planning and won't suddenly think he has to sign a striker because Taylor might leave. During the last January transfer window he signed three players in the last five days of the transfer window.
If Taylor wants to leave and the bid is a good one there's no point in keeping an unhappy player, especially as he can leave for free in the summer.
Adams will find a replacement but that player will take a while to get used to our system.
If we do lose Taylor and we plod along on the 0.89 points per game as we did earlier in the season without Taylor we will pick up another 16 points and enough, just, to avoid relegation.

Two strikers, Jervis played that role and did ok. Also, there may well be recall clauses in the contracts of Fletcher and Blissett.
We have received a bid for Taylor but we turned it down. Also why would he go, he is only wanted because their striker is injured and would be second choice again when he is fit?
Most influential player to Fleetwood? I must have missed them signing Carey but you must be right as you said it was an indisputable fact”....
Carey was a shadow of last season before Toums arrived, lets hope it stays that way with Ness as our saviour shall we.
So I see we have returned to the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the forum.
The club under the present regime keep their cards very close to their chest. We generally have no clue what is going on regarding transfers, yet, many make presumptions of doom and gloom and have a scatter gun approach of blame.
I trust DA to make right the mistakes made last summer. He is moving people on to make way for new arrivals. It might well be a trimmer squad with higher quality, again we just don't know.
WE DON'T KNOW so all else is tittle tattle.

Half open for players we don't want to lose and half closed for new signings coming in of course.
