Steven Taylor (now retired)


Recommended Posts

He wouldn't have done a job for us though, he would be injured for the majority of the season. We actually offered him a deal as well :facepalm:

In Rafa we trust.

I would not be surprised if we did not actually offer him anything but were happy to set up the story that way as a good will gesture and to save him some face. I don't believe for an instant that Rafa wanted him around. The only way there's truth to it in my opinion is if the offer was on the basis of being emergency cover and to help the younger players.

Disagree with the "would have done a job in the Championship" line. Would rather we look longer term and try to build a defence that knows each other and lasts, rather than chopping and changing the heart of the defence in the transfer window on the eve of a Premiership season.

No doubt we offered him a small wage like £5-£10k or a pay as you play, if he'd agreed to that for a year fine as he'd still be worth that in the Championship even with injuries.

He'd have done a job as a backup, nothing more.

It's a shame his career didn't live up to the potential, ruined by injuries and stupidity.

 

Will be interesting to see what level of clubs will be looking at him as a free agent - someone like Pulis might not be able to resist!
