    4 million £ bid for Taylor , lots of interest in Davies.It'obvious from the bid that Taylor needs to play more . Davies deserves his time also . The window is open , somethings gotta give .I think Jazz can cover , if not someone else. If someone had to go , who ? For me I think Davies would bring more money and I think Taylor is better suited to our game

    Simply don't sell. With our fixtures they'll both get game time and at this moment in time I'd be picking Taylor for some defensive stability.

    Agree Taylor is better defensively, but I think Ben has more potential (he can be coached into improving that side of his game).....actually hang-on.

    With the injuries we have why isn't Ben playing on the wing IN-FRONT of Taylor?....that would be a cracking left side....

    I have been thinking the same since Taylor came back from injury actually...i.e. why not try him in a more advanced role. I prefer Taylor defensively, but Ben is always exciting going forward ' as long as he knows he won't be leaving a gap behind him'.

    He does it with Rangel and Tienalli on occasions so why not?

    I'd sell Davies regardless, there is interest in him that will wane . No probs with him attacking or his physical play but mentally I think he's a tough learn. To rambunctious to be a defender, we have enough midfielders when injury free.. just my opinion .Were a business along with being a sports team , and 5 million £or so is good business..

    It's being reported on wales on line that Taylors agent says Neil is totally open to move away from Liberty because of frustration . He doesn't really want to go , but needs 1st team football. Huge mistake if Fulham are allowed to wrestle him away and we are left hoping Davies becomes more of a defensive player . Something I'm not sure he's capable off , very uneasy about this situation.

    Davies needs a rest and some more coaching ,he's lost his way this season which is understandable I suppose with perhaps him thinking he's 1st choice ,he's still a kid but we're not seeing the basics from him,which is to defend first ,get that right and the work on the attacking .He's been used in games where imo Taylor should have started in front of him .Spurs was the obvious one .

    Good comments by all.

    I don't know about Neil, but his agent is definitely interested in any move that would result in a pay day. As for Neil, it's a little naive for him to think that he goes to Fulham and gets games - he goes to Fulham and competes for a place just like he does with us. I am sure the current left backs at Fulham are not going to just step aside and say "Hey Neil, come and have my position", - not going to happen. IMO all this talk about moving to get games is bull **** ... unless you're dropping down a level you're not guaranteed to get anything.
