Syrette Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Seems the theme of the night. Everyone seems to think he isn't Premiership standard. I've not seen enough to make a fair judgement on him but my opinion won't be clouded by him scoring the odd goal against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Obviously a marketing ploy....these kids that have Taylor on the back of their jerseys now have to fork out for the preceding "S". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Tbh the £800,000 thing sounded like bull. Something like £2-£2.5m is what he's worth in today's market imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 would be fairly happy with this signing depending on the fee (especially 800k if true). Decent squad player and can fill in a few positions and can actually take a decent set piece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Libertine Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 "Newcastle agreed fees with Bolton Wanderers for Kevin Nolan and with Wigan Athletic for Ryan Taylor. The recruitment of Taylor may be helpful to N'Zogbia, 22. Wigan are one of the clubs to have expressed interest in N'Zogbia and Taylor's arrival on Tyneside this morning could be used as part of the negotiating process. Taylor is out of contract in the summer and is valued at £4m by Wigan. He has a habit of scoring against Newcastle, can play right-back in the absence of Habib Beye as well as in midfield. Taylor's potential recruitment – along with Nolan he is expected at the Newcastle training ground this morning – is part of owner Mike Ashley's response to Wednesday night's dismal loss at City, the fourth in five league games. If they pass their medicals, Nolan and Taylor will make their debuts in Sunday's Tyne-Wear derby with Sunderland at St. James'." taylor related snippets from t'independant. "Marco Donadel, of Fiorentina, is believed to be close to joining" too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 so, er, so much for the transfer system and forward planning eh? took the owner to pitch up for his first game in months to see in the flesh how truly, utterly diabolical we are before we scramble for players who appear the exact opposite of what we're supposed to be all about these days, i.e. both mid-late 20's and will be coming to get more money than where they are now and will have little or no residual value in 2-3 years time mike and his asset stripping eh? oh wait that doesn't work does it...like everything else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All mid 20's. The myth that "the system" was only going to sign under 23's and develop them is ridiculous. It seems people dream up whatever details they like about "the system" when they want to have a pop at anything Ashley/Wise/"System" related. 2: "mike and his asset stripping eh?" What? What does that even mean? Are you saying he's currently asset stripping? Are you saying he has done? What outbound transfers since he's arrived would lead you to believe that? What firesale have we gone through that would qualify as asset stripping? Asset stripping has some very specific connotations going along with it.

Ronaldo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ryan Taylor would be a good addition for £2-3m tbf. Him and Guttierez on the wings would give a nice amount of balance, you bring in a CM (ideally 2) and a full-back and things dont look so bad tbh.
