Steven Taylor?

[Neil Young]

He doesn't look like a footballer. He should work in a bank.

[Gazzla]

Alright player, nothing special

[Angry Dan]

I disagree, I have kept a eye on him since we were first linked and have always been impressed with him, especially considering his age and the fact he plays in defence for Newcastle.

[peekay]

Big Sam interested in Riise.Rafa interested in Taylor.Swap on the cards


























P.S:- I am just speculating based on bull**** media reports.I dont have any

[Kopite_Colin]

If he was right-footed it would make more sense to replace Carra in time. Left footed CB - we've got Agger, who's also very young. We need to keep a balance of right and left footed CBs if possible. If possible I'd rather go for Richards but Taylor is a good young player. If he's available for a sensible price and sensible wages we should at least be interested.

[Subby]

He was immense in the last release of Champ / Football Manager.

Little ****e kept on turning me down though. I showed him mind. Bought Micha Richards and won the treble while he wallowed in mid table obscurity at Newcatle.

So yea he's a good player*

[Sir Bob]

i'd be amazed if we got Taylor.
He's a Geordie through & through and only wants to play for newcastle. he's just refused an improved contract but wants to stay there but feels he's being underpaid because he's a local lad done good. i'm sure Newcastle will return to the table with a better offer, he'll sign it & that will be that.
good young player though.

It's not as though Newcastle are in a strong negotiating position

They're not exactly flush with defenders are they?

[Parm]

defo one to keep an eye on, Looks like if Newcastle upped his wages to say £35k a week then he would have signed. With his contract running low, if a decent fee could be agreed and wages sorted, then we could have a real bargain on our hands.

Actually they are.Sam has bought well this summer. For central defense he bought Rozenhal and Cacapa ( from Lyon), Left Back - Enrique ( from villareal) and right back Beye ( from Marseille). Add to this Amdy Faye from Bolton.
Taylor will find chances hard to come by.

IMO Newcastle will offer him a new contract with improved contract and he will accept it. If not I think we should be in for him. He is a decent defender and has enough quality that Rafa will be able to work his magic on him and convert him into a top class one.

He is the second best young english defender after Richards.

[The Erectile Banana]

He is the second best young english defender after Richards.

I agree. I think he's a player of immense potential.

His progress as been somewhat hampered by injuries over the past few years but he definitely has all the attributes needed to become a top class centre back.

Would be a very shrewd purchase if it happens.

[slimbimjim]

I would be happy if we bought him.

[Pacman]

He's a good player.

I'd be happy for him to join the mighty reds.

Spot on
He was immense for Newcastle at time in the last few years - in possibly the worst Prem Defense that Did not get relegated.
