Incognito Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 To be fair to the fans, if you're going to get behind players who consistently make noises about leaving despite having extremely prominent roles within the team, it would be hypocritical to vilify those who just badly want to play for NUFC. If he badly wanted to play for NUFC, he would shut up, knuckle down and get on with his football rather than saying he'll look to leave if he doesn't get a game. If he's not willing to be 4th choice and fight to be 1st choice, then we are better off without. There's other players who are more valued than him would love to be playing more regular football who haven't came out to press with ultimatums. How do you know he hasnt knuckled down? He's a good centre half frustrated by his lack of game time. Rather him being unhappy and hopefully banging Pardew's door than merely accepting the status quo and taking the money. I think we need to keep him because we will need him at some stage and then it's down to him whether he keeps his place. I'm not saying he's not but there's no reason to start coming out in the press expressing his desire to play and if he doesn't, he'll leave. Just shut up and get on with your football, your 4th choice and he will continue to be and he can have no arguements about that. He won't continue to be. He will get another chance through injury or suspension at some stage. What is wrong with being unhappy with not playing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Probably just me going overboard, opening the paper going to our section then seeing this clown as our main headline saying he's looking at his options in the summer if he doesn't get a game here. Only been back a couple of weeks, what does he expect? The suspension which was the 'big killer' was his own stupid fault which he clearly has yet to grasp.

Ronaldo Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yeah, 3 CBs - two in their 30s, one wanting off - is exactly what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I want to keep him. He's a good defender and I doubt we will replace him. If Good, Satka or Streete manage to breakthrough things might be slightly different but Colo looks to be off soon anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Would rather he stayed, he is a decent CB and we need strength in depth HOWEVER he cannot stay fit and if I was sure he would be replaced with a quality CB then bye bye. Cannot whinge about not getting games in a team doing well when you cannot stay fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'd rather we got someone better, he's not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Would prefer to see him moved on and upgraded, but can't see it happening. Ashley is Ashley and we seem to hang our hat on him in respect of getting an academy lad in the first team squad - especially if Shola doesn't get a new deal. Dummett and Sameobi aren't getting the chance because of Haidara and, inexplicably, Obertan respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point I suppose but having 3 defenders ahead of him means he doesn't play enough to get injured so that kinda works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 From his site (steventaylor27.com): Every year for me at Newcastle United has been a challenge and this season has been no different. I have faced competition at the club since I came through the ranks and I thrive on that. As a footballer, the best thing is playing games. I’m fit and available for selection. All I can do is knuckle down and work hard in training. I am not a player who is happy to sit on the bench and pick up my wages. I want to play, but I am not someone who sulks behind the scenes. It is important for me to keep my fitness up so I am ready to play, and it was good to get 90 minutes for the reserves on Friday. When I met with the gaffer on early in the week I didn’t know if I would be involved against Crystal Palace, but I asked to play for the Under-21s against Norwich City. I have been doing extra work with the strength and conditioning coach, but I needed a game and it was great to be out there again. Obviously it meant I was not involved the following day at Selhurst Park where the lads got a fantastic result. I remember playing at Palace in the Championship and it’s a tight pitch and a difficult place to play. We knew it would be a tough game, but we competed across the pitch and our quality shone through. We are in a great position going into the Boxing Day game against Stoke City, and we want to keep this run going. Finally, I just want to wish all our supporters a Happy Christmas. Hopefully you will have a lot more to cheer about next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
