Steven Taylor (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Unpopular opinion time, I actually don't think Taylor coming back into the fold (if he can stay fit) is a particularly bad thing, he isn't a bad defender when hes fit no matter how much everyone likes to think he is.

 

Grade A knacker, definitely, injury prone, absolutely, but hes a canny defender, gives us a bit more of an aerial presence too.

Says Iron Mike... :lol: I agree btw, just found juxtaposition of MW praising ST funny, for some reason.

He's a mediocre defender when fit and and having shaken the rust off. He cares and I'd rather him on the pitch than Coloccini, but that's about the nicest thing I can say about him. The pair of them together means trouble, though. Both immobile, lacking height and go wandering instead of holding their position.

It's not his defensive quality for why he needs to be booted out, it's the fact he's bleeding us of money he's barely managed 10 games a season for two seasons straight. He's about to do the same for a third season.

 

Pointless player to have on our books, he needs to be replaced.

Agree 100% with that, but as we are right now, him coming in even if we get 5-6 games out of him before his next injury its not the worst thing in the world.

Paying Taylor something the region of £25k/week (£1.3m a year) to play 10 games a season.  Would rather we paid somebody equally as good that money, and he play regularly.

Well I'd wait until the summer first of course. :lol:

 

Nothing wrong with him playing if he's fit like, just meant long term he can't be here from next season.

Bet he's on more than that.

The best thing I can say about him is, at least if he was going to be fit, this is the time to do it. Him and Coloccini have combined well in the past, and also combined terribly. Let's hope it's one of the good days tomorrow, although I'm not sure which one of them will cope with Berahino if he's playing. Hopefully Pulis won't trust him enough to give him game time.

40k is the figure I remember being bandied about when his dad was hawking him around for a better deal.
