Steven Taylor rejects new contract; Liverpool preparing £5m bid?

[TRon]

This smells to me like he's been talking to other England players and has been unsettled by them.

 

And for some inexplicable reason he thinks by going to the local press he'll get the fans' sympathy because he is a Geordie, if he thinks that he doesn't realise that no-one is bigger than the club and the fans will soon turn against him. The fact that he's saying "play me or I'll go in January" is an absolute disgrace. Frankly if that's his attitude then he can feck off. A 21 year old picking the team? Aye that'll be right.

 

I don't care if he's the best defender in the world (which he isn't and never will be), we've had enough of young English so called talent with "potential" that never appears and too much "aren't I the greatest" attitude  (Jenas, Dyer, to name 2).

 

Don't let anyone think this is made up by the press, it's being drip fed to them, word by word. The fact that he and his father are annoyed that Sam is saying they

shouldn't have gone to the papers shows what naive negotiators they are. Get an agent son - and if you don't like it here bog off to West Ham to lord it around with your England mates. >

 

So many people are instantly-prepared to believe the worst of people and to believe all the bad news instantly.

 

Nothing will change that automatic negativity, I suppose, sadly.

 

This whole thing is 95% fabricated press rubbish.

 

Steven Taylor will agree a slightly different (better) contract soon - all part of the negotiation process - none of the "deadline" drivel is true - he will become an excellent defender with us for years to come.

 

Well his dad, acting on his behalf was quoted by Alan Oliver, so if it was press rubbish it was entirely his own fault.
