Whatever the truths of this situation are, it shows how strongly they feel about this gem from the last club statement:

 

Promoting regional football

 

The Board and supporters are aware that Newcastle United currently has a footballing academy brimming with talent, skill and dedication. As part of Newcastle United's quest for a team that truly represents the values of the Geordie nation the club will look to promote, where it can, from within and for the academy to become a leading light as one of the best if not the best in the UK.

 

The days when players such as Alan Shearer, Steve Bruce, Peter Beardsley and Michael Carrick had to leave Newcastle to begin their illustrious football careers elsewhere are over. Newcastle United is more than aware of the great passion for the game of football that exists locally and is intent on ensuring that every great Geordie footballer has the opportunity to play for his home team club.

 

A great advert to those local young Shearers, Bruces, Beardsleys and Carricks this will be to know the club will transfer list you without even telling you first hand, and try to turn the supporters against you by releasing rumours about massive wage demands to the press.

 

 

He's at least as good now at what is required of a premier league defender as Coloccini is, and Taylor will almost certainly improve in the next few years as Coloccini declines. If wages are the problem, then why has the curly haired one not been transfer listed too, we've another 3 years of paying his wages which are almost certainly higher than the fabricated £60k?

 

The reason Colo hasn't been transfer listed is because his contract isn't running out.

Wow, that's one of the largest leaps of logic I think I've seen you make. Impressive. :thup:

Deluded. Sends a message that players can't hold clubs to ransom. Especially mediocre players at mediocre teams, lets face it. Find me a defender at a well run club not in the top 4 being paid 60k+ a week.

I can bet that if a reasonable offer comes in for Colo Ashley wouldn't mind to treat him a free ticket.

I'm sure we would take a decent offer for Coloccini like a shot if one came in. But he's on a long contract which we agreed to give him so why would we transfer list him? It's a petty argument which doesn't hold water. The relevant point is would we give Coloccini a big contract next time round? Definitely not so how about some context?

Doesn’t stop him being put on the transfer list. Ditto any of the other players we have on the books who get more than the new ‘wage cap’ limit. Smith isn't worth £50k a week, why aren't we realising statements saying he’s up for sale?

I think you've hit the nail on the head. We're a mediocre team at the moment and Taylor certainly is a mediocre player who looks good in a shit back 4.

 

It'll be interesting to see who comes in for him if he's sold, but I'd not expect Chelsea, Man U or City to show an interest. Arsenal might but they'd want him for nowt.

 

As I said before, I think it'll be Everton who get him.

Will be hard to sell him for as much as we'd want, especially as the injury has meant he's missed pre-season so therefore you'd expect him to be injured or low on form for the rest of the season.

 

The club have played it out too publicly in my opinion, and we are going to get our fingers burnt on this one.

 

Probably to the extent that we'll try to sell anyone with 18-24 months left on their contract who is asking for too much.

 

Taylor I'm not too bothered about, but it will be Carroll and Enrique next.

If Ashley and his cronies are pulling their usual transfer window bollox on this one, how surprised should we act?

 

Surely Taylor and his agents tried to pull a fast one and ... something happened. But to transfer list him and let him know through a third party is typical of the way this regime has treated its employees and fans.

because we are not in current danger of losing them for nothing in a short space of time we are with taylor hence his listing so late in the window

He's a liability, would take £8m for him now.

 

Only problem is, that if Campbell is for 1 season, maybes 2, and Colo is the clown he is, it only leaves us with 2 CD's - Williamson and Kadar long term, meaning some more free transfer signings will need to be made.

 

Obviously :lol: We're looking at about a quarter of that

On another note, how much is Sol Campbell on?

You don't put a player on the transfer list unless you're resigned to them leaving soon for free with their contract running out. It's a signal from the club that whatever Taylor's demands are, they're not going to be met. Therefore they're willing to publically advertise him for sale in order to try and get what they can for him if possible. Anything they get is a bonus at this stage, because presumably they don't see him actually playing a great deal anyway (injury plus at least two other squad members being ahead of him in the pecking order).

 

There's no comparison whatsoever to players like Coloccini and Smith who whilst on silly money too, have years to run on their contracts still and are currently first or second choice players anyway. Why on earth would we want to give those players up at the lowest possible price? Even if we didn't rate them it would be mental to put them on the transfer list so publically.

I suspect everyone knows that really, but without any valid argument they just like to chuck that in there.

The club should have told him or his agent before releasing the statement.

 

Apart from that they have done very little wrong.

 

Correct that they should have told Taylor and his agent to find a new club if they couldn't agree terms.

 

But there shouldn't have been any statement whatsoever. Its a big massive advert to clubs that we are willing to sell anyone at a profit if they can't work out a contract. When we discover we can only get £2m for Taylor (undisclosed) every player with two years left will get flogged and replaced with cheaper versions, we'll never get a settledteam, and we'll never get to see our youth talent play for us in their prime.

What I’m comparing is how much they are prepared to pay to secure the services of a young player with resale value, and how much they are prepared to pay to secure the services of an aging pro with no resale value.
