The Left Back Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Looks like he's signed. I'm pleased. He's a very good left back and I think he's just what we need for the way we play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 5 minutes ago, bangkoksaint said: Charlie Taylor signs. Good acquisition 2 year deal. Slightly underwhelming but probably sensible bit of business when you consider our other option is Manning or Larios, who is made of glass. I'm keeping a keen eye on who may still be with us should we get relegated next season and that effectively sorts out the left back slots for the next Championship promotion push! (Of course we all hope that doesn't happen...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 A very shrewd bit of business getting Charlie Taylor in on a free. Bags of pl experience and a solid left back. Welcome onboard Charlie 😊 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfc4prem Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Solid signing. Premier League experience. About our level as newbies to the PL. A good addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I've always liked him, not what I'd call a mega glamorous signing by any means - but we've had a pants pulled down many times with 'glamorous' big fee signings. This dude knows the PL, knows English football and knows relegation battles. We needed better at LB and he undoubtably adds to that area - for free. Very, very sensible pickup. I'd prefer this one over Ryan Sessengon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Solid if unspectacular signing, fills the most glaring hole in our team and a definite improvement on Manning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also say he's good at defending as well as getting forwards which is a rarity for us. He can also play LCB in a 3 so that's an option - although they describe him as being very one footed. It's not a "wow" signing but it appears to be a sensible bit of business on a free transfer and he's only 30. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll finally see one who is decent at defending, even if it isn't a long term signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Don't really know much about him. Love a free transfer though, and this season is all about consolidation so he doesn't need to be anything special just not be a complete mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Good signing in my book. Always looked decent whenever I watched Burnley on the box. Plenty of experience which shows we've learned some harsh lessons from previous mistakes when we opted for signing youngsters who might produce good sell-on value. Welcome Charlie, looking forward to seeing you step out in a Saints shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Charlie, looking forward to seeing you step out in a Saints shirt. If anything I’d say our record of signing young players is better than that with experienced ones. In the last two years Manning, Onuachu, Orsic, AMN and Stewart have been something of a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our young additions of Sulemana, Larios (for other reasons), Mara, Bazunu etc haven't really been worth the money. Bar one or two (Lavia/Tino) our perm signings of all ages have been utterly horrific for years. Edited July 1 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 One of those names you know of, but not sure of the detail/quality. If he’s better than Manning then it’s very good business. Be interesting to see how he gets on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
