Mistle17 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Definitely happy about this. The prospect of having to even consider playing Ryan Taylor anywhere near the first team is one that spells When Saylor gets back fit again, he can be considered our 2nd RB, not Raylor. Plus, Sol will add some much needed aerial strength and power, something which Colo lacks. Could certainly be a benefit to our set-pieces... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Given the state of our finances and our current defence then it's a canny move for us and him. Could well turn out to be a bit of a liability but we need the bodies and his experience might help a few of the younger lads. Let's wait and see how he does.

tmonkey Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Good luck to him. For our sakes too. At his best, he was easily better than Rio Ferdinand. Just a pointless fact that is worth mentioning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 i worry about his motivation to play for us, but still worth a go and considering our makeshift defence atm good signing it's doubtful its a big pay day, hopefully he's just married and bought a place up here so he may just want to play.

David Icke - Son of God Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 He's a Premier League quality centre half. There's a dearth of them at the club. Good move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Chuffed with this signing and it's one I've wanted to see for ages now. Great player with bags of experience to help our lot along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thinking about it, where does this put Kadar? as he was when taylor was fit, 4th choice centre half/2nd choice left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thinking about it, where does this put Kadar? Cover for Enrique. Aye, I was thinking, but its a shame that he wont get a proper run in his natural position- a knack we seem to have with the younger lads. I'm glad we've signed Sol, but its a shame to see Kadar shunned... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I see the Steven Taylor at right-back myth idea is still going around. Better than Ryan Taylor, mate. I agree, but there's still no evidence that the club see him playing there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Great short term signing. Can just imagine the height now at set peices with Campbell, Williamson, Carroll and Ameobi in there, if all are played together. W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosstoon Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 What wage and signing on fee. Someone i spoke to reckons £30k a week and £1m signing on so combined works to just under £50k a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Could bring the best out of his centre back partner ala Woodgate and Bramble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 If Sol Campbell does sign for Newcastle United, Steven Taylor, who considers himself a good centre-half, should watch & learn from a top pro Spotted via Happy Face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 At first i was a bit meh about this when i saw it but i've been swept up in the optimism . The whole situation seems perfect for him, Wifes a geordie, living in Northumberland, he must love the area. Its astonishing he has never commanded a transfer fee in his career.
