Yes.

If someone were to offer a big transfer fee for Mr Taylor and it wasnt Hull would we accept it ?

Might as well if he's determined to go. No point making him see out his contract if he wants out, won't be very motivated will he.

Looking increasingly likely to happen, which isn't making it any easier to live with. I'll be gutted if/when he goes, but, if that's what he thinks is best for his career then fair enough.

Probably best asking on the Hull board, they usually know more about our players than us.

Yes, we need to make money like any other business; we must make sure we have youth players to take his place though!

No point selling all your best players and replacing them with average players, we need really good kids that are ready to step up to SL, St Helens have done it for years with great success.

Youth is the key, and I think the penny has dropped with Mr Hudgell!!

We, as a city should be churning out top class RL players; the talent that is wasted in this city is criminal!!!

Aye. Only reason I'd turn my nose up at any best offer from any club, [iincluding[/i Hull, would be the rumblings about attempts to engineer a move to that club.

There's a natural tension in this situation between the club wanting it sorted and the player being happy to bide his time as his cachet rises. Unless it was a [ivery[/i good offer, I'm not sure I'd have committed at this stage. And IMO, that is fair enough. Only if he's made it clear he's definately offski is it an issue - and then at least we know now, rather than being strung along and then seeing him go for nowt.

Would we even get a [ubig[/u fee though? The Bradford squad are now all effectively ooc (I think) which will have changed the dynamic a bit.

He is an excellent prospect, but losing him would be painful almost as much for what he represents as what he offers. With a fee and the wage we offered (assuming it was somewhere close to market value), we could get somebody who'd probably be as good or even better [iin 2013[/i, but losing the first one off the line and bearing in mind he's likely got plenty of better years ahead of him would be disappointing.
