    some of the comments on his Twitter account are incredible...and not just from him.

    He’s a bona fide arrogant idiot.

    You'd get on well with him then.

    Lyle Taylor is being linked with Glasgow Rangers & Nottingham Forest today.

    I just hope that January doesn’t turn into a one month Lyle Taylor psycho drama ...which is what the player basically wants.

    After watching his body language on friday I'd say it's essential that we sell him in January and bring in a replacement, preferably two. Sir Alex would not stand for any Prima Donnas. The team spirit is still excellent, and with Cullen, Field and Williams back, + a new striker or two, we should be OK (just).

    However good he has been for us, if the new owners have the wedge you would think they can bring in players better than Taylor.

    That aside, I imagine he has become totally disinterested since his move fell through in the summer.

    Sorry guys, I cannot agree.

    Taylor didn't look disinterested when he scored 5 goals in 6 games back in August, to help us to 14 points.

    I know he can be an arse on social media, but the crowd in the covered end are still keeping faith with him.
    He is something of a mascot (not the cartoon costume kind) to many fans, including the youngsters.
    It may be he will never regain his form. It may even be that he wants away.

    But how much to offer him to stay on is now up to the new owners, not that skinflint Roland.
    Let's see where we are at the end of January :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    In the meantime, I'm all for giving LT a chance to prove his worth again on the pitch once he is match fit.
    And since I never look at F*ckbook or Twatter, I never have to read what he's posting.

    Given how well we coped replacing Yann, I find this whole thread and the ongoing whingeing about Taylor a bit bizarre. Strikers who you get in and then perform the business are like diamonds - you don't throw them out because of some daft post on social media. A quick refelection on how most of us have felt about some of the strikers we have had since Yann - that guy sponge foot, the Swindon lad, and currently Hemed… the list goes on - and I would have to conclude that there are some serious mental issue's nestled in amongst our fan base when we have a twenty goal a year striker, who has already shown he can cope at this level, and some people want to offload him in favour of some new guy (as yet unnamed) who may or not be better. Will the signing process include a check up on the incoming striker's use of @twatter and @facebook, or his political affiliations? As I've seen them all thrown at Taylor, as well as a logical statement that he doesn't want people knocking on his door at night wanting autographs. Or does everyone think we are now so wealthy we can throw money like confetti, sign multiple strikers and hopefully one of them Will be as good as the one we already have?

    Just a thought, maybe stop following people on Twitter and just watch the football? (I wish it was an option for me :grin:

    His body language stank on Friday, but let's hope it was just a blip, and he's back to his best at QPR.

    he can go as far as i'm concerned. if he had go on with things and was committed, but left, you'd wish him the best. he's now embarrassing himself and taking the piss out of fans.

    Couldn't care less about what he tweets, but going by his body language on friday both before and after coming on as sub he's already gone. Didn't stop him milking the adulation from the fans who might feel aggrieved by his attitude. Bonne may be less talented, but after 80 minutes he was still putting more into the game than Taylor was when he came on fresh. He may only be with us for a few more games, but he's still getting paid, as he has been for the last few weeks, so I expect a bit more effort from him in those few games.
