BillClinton Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 If his only real asset is that he is from the area then he should be the one to go. However we really shouldn't think about moving him now with Colo wanting out. No chance we buy two CBs unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/time-up-for-steven-taylor-newcastle-united/ Well who would have thought we were capable of this after the derby and I have to ask the question, time up for Steven Taylor? Having carried out the now annual ‘movember’ tash growing I am debating as to whether I should carry on growing until we lose? All comments below…. steven taylor newcastleWatching us look increasingly more solid in the past few weeks I was frustrated for Mbiwa that he didn’t get the nod ahead of Colo. I know a lot of people shared my view that given Colo’s continuous mumbles about leaving, we should start to really push Yanga. However, it has been the emergence of Mike Williamson that has surprised us all. On Saturday he was again magnificent, particularly in the last 20 minutes where he won every header and seemed to take complete control of the defence. I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, mine included, but you can’t help but be full of praise for the way he has come back into our team. This brings me to my main point in the article. What now for Steven Taylor? Now I know that the majority of fans will praise Taylor to the hills. He’s a local lad who puts his body on the line for the club, no arguments there. However, that there is where the problem lies. At the highest level you need more than that. You need composure, concentration and football brain, three things Taylor sadly lacks. Quite simply put, I have thought for a while that he is our worst centre back. If I’m honest I think he’s a liability who is often unfit and makes too many rash mistakes and stupid sending offs. Now I’m sure a lot of fans will disagree but player for player is he better than Williamson? I don’t think he is and we all know how much flak he gets. To be honest if he wasn’t a Geordie would any of us care if he left? I’m not sure we would. I would suggest any fan to look at his injury record over the past 5 years and say is he worth another 4 year deal? Don’t get me wrong I love his little stamp tales about Sunderland but quite simply if this club is going to try to reach the heights of two seasons ago and beyond, people like Steven Taylor need to be replaced. Iron Mike may not be our future but right now he is by far and away our best defender in my opinion and credit to him for changing mine and many others’ opinions. Taylor must now do the same but quite honestly I don’t see any way back into the team for him in the near future. I’m afraid it’s time up for Taylor. Stupid and irresponsible article, mind. Mapou's still very much finding his feet in this country, Williamson's 30 years old and Colo is finished and wanting off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BenArfa10 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Absolutely no way should we consider selling Taylor, the unprecedented and outstanding form of Williamson, the emergence of MYM and the fact that Colo is captain is resulting him not even making the bench at the moment though. He will be back once we get injuries but he is going to have to work damn hard to get in the team based on our last 5 weeks of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It is all about reliability and talent and Williamson is more reliable and Mapou more talented. Taylor has what it takes to be a fine PL centre-back in terms of ability and attributes but his fitness and mental attitude lacks what it takes to be a consistently good player and therefore at this stage of his career and what we require, it would be best for all concerned if he moved on and we upgraded to be honest. I wouldn't be averse to keeping him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Tooj rejoices: Newcastle defender Steven Taylor could be on the move in next month's transfer window, his agent has told Sky Sports. Taylor has been forced to watch from the sidelines in recent weeks as Newcastle have embarked on a winning run in the Premier League. The 27-year-old has even found himself left out of Alan Pardew's matchday squad in the last six games despite being back to fitness after injury. Taylor has not featured since the defeat by Manchester City on the opening weekend of the season and is frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities. Taylor, who has been promised a new deal by director of football Joe Kinnear, could now be made available on loan for January or even for a cut-price fee of £1.5million. The player's agent, Willie McKay, confirmed Taylor could go out on loan in search of first-team football. "Steven is now fully fit, but he is frustrated not to be playing as that is what he loves doing," McKay told Sky Sports. "He has not been involved for the last six games and of course it is frustrating. "Steven fully understands that the team have been on a good winning run and the manager does not want to change a winning team. "Joe Kinnear has promised Steven a new deal in January and he could be made available for loan if he is not going to be playing for Newcastle."

Tooj Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Don't think anybody would be unhappy if we sold him and then brought in somebody that would improve us like. (A big if with these fuckwits in charge mind) I think most of the fans finally realised what he was all about with his idiocy on our first game of the season. Saying that mind with Colo's situation we'd need two if he went. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
