Fulham chasing Neil Taylor 02:23 - Jan 17 with 7042 views | Rough_Edges | http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2540911/Fulham-considering-3m- Fulham are keen on Swansea left back Neil Taylor and could offer £3million for the 24-year-old. Manager Rene Meulensteen, however, is considering Sporting Lisbon’s Marcos Rojo, 23, as a loan alternative. The future of John Arne Riise has been uncertain for some time, and Taylor's arrival could push him closer to leaving. Meulensteen also wants to add goals to his team, and hopes to sign Livorno striker Paulinho on loan. _____ For 3 million they can stick it IMO. | | | | |
Fulham chasing Neil Taylor on 06:44 - Jan 17 with 5261 views | Zut_Alors | Sooner or later someone was gonna come back in for Neil. I still feel he needs more of a shot to rediscover his pre-injury form before we look to sell him. Not neccarily because he'll find a way back into the first 11, but to capitalise on his potential market value. Pre-injury he was definitely worth more than 3m. Didn't we turn down Newcastle with a couple of million bid for him a couple of years back. Will be difficult for him to get back with Ben playing as well as he's been, but I hope we keep him. | | | |
Fulham chasing Neil Taylor on 06:48 - Jan 17 with 5253 views | _Kieran | If I was him I'd want to leave with someone like Dwight Tiendalli being picked ahead of me after that Olympic performance. £3 million though FFS April Fools is miles off ... [Post edited 17 Jan 2014 6:56]

We turned down a poxy 1 million bid from Newcastle. And Taylor's performance at OT schooling Valencia then a fresh Januzaj was better than any of Davies' this whole season. | |

Given the injuries we have (I'm thinking of taking my boots to the Spurs game just in case!!) and the number of games we have and could have if we do well in the cups, selling him is surely not an option, more difficult if he wants to go but we need to stand firm on this, especially for a paltry £3m. | | | |

WTF? I wouldn't sell Taylor at double that price, but to slag off Davies who has been immense overall since day 1 is just out of order | | | |

I don't think that voicing his opinion on a good performance by Taylor at Old Trafford which he felt was better than Davies has done I believe this season amounts to slagging him off. In my opinion I would go Davies every time but he's entitled to his. [Post edited 17 Jan 2014 8:06]

3 mio £ is to little, After his awful injury its take minimum a year to get back to the his high level.. Its first now, we can see the prospect of it! | | | |
Fulham chasing Neil Taylor on 09:11 - Jan 17 with 4938 views | Zut_Alors | I didn't think Taylor had that good a game at Old Trafford anyway. He got skinned a couple of times and was diving in all over the place. He was good but not great. While Ben has had a few poorer games, he's also been arguably one of the few players to play at a consistently high level this season, and he offers a goal threat, too. He's number one for me. | | | |
Fulham chasing Neil Taylor on 09:18 - Jan 17 with 4910 views | SkipTheJack | I'm probably going to get abuse for saying this, but I think I'd take the £3m. Seems like a fair offer to me - he's not going to dislodge Davies any time soon and it would give him a better chance of first team football. Of course, this depends upon us having a cheaper replacement in mind - and upon Davies not going anywhere for the next couple of years. | | | |
Fulham chasing Neil Taylor on 09:26 - Jan 17 with 4886 views | Rancid | He won't go anywhere.Not in this window anyway.We're far too threadbare at the back as it is. | | | |
Fulham chasing Neil Taylor on 11:24 - Jan 17 with 4700 views | Whiterockin | IMO Taylor is a better defender that Ben, but Ben is better going forward. Opposing teams know this and target Ben this is how he gets caught out of position so much. I would probably play Ben ahead of Taylor but I can't for the life of me understand whey Taylor doesn't play right back when Rangel is out. | | | |

Davies is better than Taylor quite considerably. Which games do you base Davies hasn't played well for a while on?? IMO been one in the top 3 for MOTM most games this season!! If we played Taylor more often maybe you would see how much we rely on Davies's stamina getting forward constantly to help out in attack. | | | |
Fulham chasing Neil Taylor on 11:47 - Jan 17 with 4625 views | QuakerJack | No thanks... go away... wouldn't think he'd go, high risk of him being a league below next year with a pay cut | |

Ben has mainly been outstanding since he came in, the last few matches he's been very poor though. Neil was unlucky not to play at OT for the league game after a great performance in the cup. Ben had a shocker on Sunday and Rangel wasn't much better... | | | |

I agree. £3m for a player that is effectively a reserve fullback is good dollar. I'd prefer to keep him but I think SCFC would find it difficult to turn down a bid of around £3m. No way on God's earth we'd get £6m for him.....people aren't looking at actual prices for full-backs...along with Keepers they are by a distance the cheapest players to buy. | | | |

Yes. If Tiendalli played like Ben did on Sunday there'd be a five pager slagging him off. Ben is the better player for me but I think he needs a break. | | | |

He has been aversge since November. He has not played anywhere near as well as he has previously. If he was not a local boy we would not be having this discussion. | | | |

I'd say he's been poor since his return - and it isn't only his play (understandable after such a lay off) but the way he blames others for his errors really annoys me especially when he has been given the captaincy. Instead of busting a gut to make up for errors he has had a tendency, when in forward positions, to dawdle so he can have a go at others players. £3 million at present is a good price. | |
