On the first post of this thread, he was first linked on 13th May and the story about us agreeing a fee was reported two days ago.
Walter can I be your agent.there is an awful lot of interest here.what about the advertising rights.do you fancy a nivea skin for men add
Mentioned him a few weeks ago, he's ex Man U so that'll be why Phelan knows about him. For that price yeah.
We're now being linked with Steven Taylor on a free. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...Battle-Newcastle-Defender-Gossip-News-Rumours
There are worse defenders to be linked with. On a free transfer he'd be good cover and I'd rather have him waiting in the wings than Bruce Jnr.
Sounds as if the Norwood rumour is a bit more than that. Their equivalent of Buckingham is pretty sure it's happening.
The was also Steve Bruce's Tigers mentioned. That is all well and good but happens if he leaves? A bit like Blake's Seven without Blake!
I'd rather have Bruce, I'm not even sure Taylor was a regular for the Geordies. The fact they've released him and they've been relegated to me means they don't rate him either
Taylor's not only a poor defender, he's also a sick note, we've signed enough crap Taylor's from Newcastle already. I don't think Norwood's a great signing either.
Taylor has be be a big NO. He is injury prone and no better than what we have. Norwood.....really???? Is this our aspirations?? I am not sure of our plans for him whether it be cover or not, but at 25 he has probably become all of the footballer that he can and he ain't exactly setting the world alight, let alone the championship. He would struggle to be on the bench in my opinion, and probably in Bruce's too.
