No, I’m glad we bought him, just stating a fact, he’s a project. Unless you think he’s going into the furstvteam squad?

Hopefully the sign of a forward strategy occurring

Would look like it with the other additions we have brought in a bit of continuity through the club

Got to the point I don't pay any attention to these 'one for the future' signings anymore. We have signed a shitload of these players over the years and with exception of Kris Ajer none of them has made any impact whatsoever on our starting 11. They're a deadline day damp squib, they do nothing to improve the fortunes of the team in the here and now and have all the hallmarks of a cheap way for Lawell and the board to appear to be doing 'transfer business'!
I'm not exactly blown away by the possibility of signing Taylor either, let's be honest the boy didn't register on anybody's radar before we were linked with him and he plays in the same league ffs, but at least he'll go straight into the squad and be in contention for a starting slot right away. Not righting the boy off or anything like that, if he signs he'll have my full support, I'm just not excited by his signing.
What I'd love to see is a striker signed, a big target man to get on the end of all those crosses and corners that go begging, we could add another 20 goals a season at least if we managed to get someone on the end of them.

To be fair Kelly I get where TV is coming from on this one, it's hard to get excited by project signings as they take an age to make any impact if ever. Sensible future planning no doubt but they don't get the excitement levels raised.

I always hope for the best with these type of signings, but I don’t class them as signings for the team. He will be lucky to get a start until the end of the season, unless the lad us brilliant. I hope he is. But, the facts don’t lie, as yet none of the previous have made any impact.
No chance of a striker, but big Bayo I think will do a turn. Taylor wouldn’t have been anybody’s first choice. Melling for me was well within our grasp. I have heard Taylor is good. At last we seem to be getting a defence. That’s the most urgent.

Anyone remember Elyanoussi - he seems to have been forgotten about since we shafted the hunz ?. Anyway according to the basel fans in work he is an excellent player. He has already played in a CL quarter final against man City (just don't Google the score ?) and holds the record for the highest outgoing transfer from basel - more than salah, shaqiri or Rakatic. He isn't THAT good of course but still a quality player by all accounts.

Discussed this last night with Niall MD......I have high hopes for big Bayo I reckon he could be that big target man we need but he's kind of an unknown quantity right now as we've not seen enough of him also and most importantly I'm very very greedy and I want another striker
