The Summer Transfer Rumour Round-up Thread


Recommended Posts

Eitan Tibi looks quite good: ball-playing centre-back, who can win a header and tracks and covers well -- pretty good slide-tackler too! I don't know if it's the picture quality or maybe the league, but he looked a bit slow?

Rangers and Celtic reportedly interested in Steven Taylor

 

Ibrox side Rangers, Celtic, Hull City and Brighton & Hove Albion are reportedly interested in outgoing Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor.

 

Celtic and Rangers are interested in signing Steven Taylor in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Express.

 

It has been reported by the British newspaper that the two Scottish giants want to recruit the defender on a free transfer.

 

Taylor will leave Newcastle United at the end of this month when his current contract runs out.

Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers, who will be competing for the Scottish Premiership title next season, are reportedly interested in the 30-year-old.

 

Newly-promoted Premier League outfit Hull City and Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion also want to sign Taylor, according to The Daily Express.

 

Taylor is an experienced defender, and he has also overcome his recent injury problems.

 

The 30-year-old remains a decent football player, and he would be able to do a good job for Celtic or Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.

While I'm delighted to see some defenders being sounded out, I don't think Taylor is the answer. Firstly, his wages will be too high, and secondly, he doesn't fit the mould. Rafa Benitez is a good defensively-sound coach, so if he's not going to give him a contract, it doesn't bode well.
