Taylor described tonight on the radio as 'blood and guts' and 'a trier'. Not going to steam up the left wing from CB and whip in a great cross. Can't see him netting so many headers either. Bit underwhelmed to be honest.

I'd much rather our defenders defend (y)

SuitsBlueX2 · August 21, 2009

I have liked having the top scoring league defender for the past two seasons playing for us.

I like Taylor, Jags mark 2.

It will take us an age to agree a fee with Newcastle.

Really pleased if we get Taylor - have always rated him, another Jag's in waiting I think.

Although I've a feeling that the fee, along with his wages will be ( another ) stumbling block.

Agreed mate knowing them he is prob on about 50-60k a week.

Think we've agreed the fee, meant to be about 6m - now that would be ideal

He'll want 40-50k a week no doubt....

I sersiously didn't like him before too long ago, some of his antics like his handballs (then playacting) were embarrasing, but he certainly gives in 100% til the very end.....what we could have done with against Arsenal if you know what I mean

Anyway, that games over now........I think he would be a good buy, and off Arteta's corners and free kicks, I think we'd get any defender with a good head a fair few goals

Everton have agreed a £6m deal with Newcastle for centre-half Steven Taylor but the England Under-21 international's wage demands could be a stumbling block. (Daily Mirror)

Taylor has a choice.
Stay in the Championship and earn £50k per year, and let your career rot away unless someone else rescues you , or move up to the Premiership with the 5th best team, play European football, and possibly improve the team enough to make the top 4 but take a drop in wages.

For me it's a no brainer, unless he is only concerned about money.
