I honestly think he will end up a top premier league player and probably play for England. It’s so difficult to see him getting a chance at city though

Right footed so would have to get past Stones, Dias, AkanjiA long shot but I wouldn't mind him being Laporte's replacement (although Gvardiol has the edge on playing at a higher level)

He will. He’s in a different class at the same age than the likes of Mee, for example. And no disrespect, Ben has had a brilliant premier league career and pleased he has become a cult hero at Brentford after a decade of great service to BurnleyI honestly think he will end up a top premier league player and probably play for England. It’s so difficult to see him getting a chance at city though
A buyback deal for Taylor is probably the best solution for all concerned
Shame he is right footed could have saved us getting rinsed for an extra centre back (providing Laporte is moved on in the summer)Right footed so would have to get past Stones, Dias, Akanji

I think he will stay with Burnley,not sure we'll insert any buy back.

Think Taylor could potentially have a spot in our squad next season, with plenty of opportunities for minutes as well. At least if we are planing to keep playing this system with 3 CBs on the field + Stones (with Lewis as his backup?). Walker & Laporte (+Cancelo) potentially leaving... With Stones playing his new role could to with an extra body among the CBs and if we would have something like this I could easily see him get some starts in cups, CL group stage and "easier" PL games when the others need a rest. Spend big on Gvardiol and even it out with taking TBH back for free.
Rodri/Phillips (or replacement) - Stones/Lewis
Gvardiol/Ake - Dias - Akanji/Harwood-Bellis
I suspect that if we didn't already own him we would probably be very interested in a 21 year old English CB who captained the national team at u21 level on several occasions, who is a regular starter in a team playing possession based football dominating the Championship, and see him as a great depth option at centerback when we are playing this system with 3 CBs. Now there is instead talk of selling him with a buy back? Just get him in and sell later if it doesn't work out.
