Neil Taylor signs new four-year contract with Swansea


Recommended Posts

Chairman saying they rejected bid, and that he thought it wasn't the right time for Taylor to move and that he'd get more games there.

But "time will tell, we'll see what happens"

Not sure we'd be that arsed tbh. If we can't get him for the clause amount or very close to it, is it really worth the time, effort and money to go to court/arbitration over a backup we clearly don't rate too highly?

'We would like to buy your player Neil Taylor. We offer £1million, as per the buyout clause in his contract.'

'No, that clause just allows you to talk to him. You must make us an offer that reflects the player's true value.'

 

...

 

'£1.1million?'

 

:lol:

 

:lol:

 

£1.2 million should just about do it then. O0

Transfer request will happen eventually.

 

:nods:

 

Yep, he'll be forced to submit one by the club.

And with the St James’ Park giants apparently unwilling to up their original offer, sources have suggested they will now attempt to put pressure on Taylor to demand a transfer.

 

:aww:

Swansea's Neil Taylor seeks Newcastle move arbitration

 

Swansea City defender Neil Taylor has written to the Premier League to help resolve the dispute over his possible move to Newcastle United.

 

BBC Sport Wales understands the 22-year-old Wales left-back's case has now been referred to an arbitration panel.

 

The Magpies are thought to have offered £1m for Taylor, which they believe triggers a clause allowing them to approach and sign the player.

 

But Swansea insist that the clause only allows talks to take place.

 

No date has yet been set for a hearing which could have wider implications for clubs and players who have agreed similar clauses.

 

A further twist in the situation is that Swansea have made a bid of around £1.5m for Newcastle midfielder Wayne Routledge, with that also yet to be resolved.

 

Swansea City have previously rejected Newcastle's bid for Taylor, believing the three-cap Wales man is worth more than has been offered.

 

Taylor was a key part of the Swansea side which won promotion to the Premier League in May, making 32 appearances for Brendan Rodgers' side last season - including the 4-2 play-off final win over Reading at Wembley.

 

Swansea signed Taylor as a free agent in June 2010 after his contract expired with Wrexham, although the Blue Square Bet Premier side did get £150,000 compensation as the player is under 24 years old.

 

Wrexham are also due 10% of any future transfer fee profit and will watch for any decision from the arbitration panel with interest.
