    Really really hope all this and true and it happens. One of my favourite of all time - I understand the risk with his injuries but his abilities justify the risks involved for me. When he is playing he is a standard above anything else we can sign.

    If we land him and he keeps fit then it. Might be the best free signing we ever make.

    If we sign him and he breaks apart then u would have still of judged it a risk worth taken.

    Not a Taylor fan at all, simply don't think he is good enough to be our first choice left back but would happily keep him as an able back up to KT

    Risk vs reward.

    If it works it's a masterstroke if it doesn't 80% of our support will say told you so. Is what it is!

    Delighted he is back myself

    See being fair mate my head also said not to bring him back due to injures but when it is without a sizeable transfer fee and you think of the home grown player challenges we have it starts to really counter balance the injury issues.

    Don’t get me wrong we need to manage him and be careful not to end up with a right off on our hands but I think it is worth the gamble. He is head and shoulders better than the other players we have.

    Literally the best left back in the world if and when he’s fit in my opinion. Massive “if” as well all know.

    Will.see his fitness.if and when he signs and plays. No doubt great to have if fit, but he is so prone to many injuries shoulder hip legs . Hope he comes and does us great service and if he can string half a dozen games together without an injury then great. I would pay as you play with him

    If he can stay fit he’ll be a massive game changer for us, especially in Europe.

    Enough has been said about KT’s record with injuries over the past few seasons.

    Surely KT himself, plus the club will have their own fitness plan to reduce any further loss of playing time.

    However what I can’t get my head round is…

    He left nearly 5 years ago!!!

    Christ, time flies when you get older!!

    He was * brilliant 5 years ago. Training and playing at the very top level in that time, and only 27.. he's going to blow our minds.

    We have wanted a left back with quality and KT is that.

    Aye his injury record has been *, but we are getting a quality left back for next to nothing.

    Brilliant business.

    sold for 25 mill and brought back for free. 4/5 titles while gone. Money back on Taylor from Zagreb and get Bernie out the door for profit. Some business
