aweebluesoandso 290 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) If injury free He would do a solid job in defense for us, not the fastest of players but reads the game well and a sold tackler with bite, takes no shit from oppossing attackers.

der Berliner 3,808 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 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. Various factors come into play here. Could well be that Benitez simply wants another type of defender? Or Taylor doesn't like Benitez' methods ... who knows. The experienced defender is not short of offers having turned down a 12-month deal to stay at St James' Park.Taylor's departure severs the final link with the Robson era and he is expected to be followed out of the exit door by skipper Fabricio Coloccini and right-back Daryl Janmaat as Rafa Benitez rebuilds a squad he hopes can regain top-flight status at the first attempt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,808 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) BTW, against Villa, he handled the ball and then ... Opinions very much split on this chap, so IF he is actually a target, I'll leave it to MW to decided and judge.

Regan Invictus @reag_reagan 2m2 minutes ago the club had reached the limit for foreign players..

Bearman 9 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 BTW, against Villa, he handled the ball and then ... Opinions very much split on this chap, so IF he is actually a target, I'll leave it to MW to decided and judge. Judging by that, we'd be better off signing Liz Taylor... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Taylor is a step up from Wilson and Keirnan but had hoped for better. England are always looking for good young CB's if we could find one and gloss him up we could make a killing down the line 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
