Lowensda Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Steven Taylor would be a welcome addition if it's true, interesting mention on Ever Banega on this one too. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/everton/article6797071.ece A very good signing if we can get him, alot of promise about him when at Boca, he's very similar to Arteta in the way he plays, differences (which have been pointed out during his time at Valencia) are that he tries to take on one-too-many players at a time, tends to try and weave his way from the back instead of clearing it the first time (positive or Negative, you decide) and can be a hot-headed young dicky. would like him here tho!

CaptainFerguson10 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) I'm not getting excited until they are paraded in the Everton blue, but I admit I'm a tad bit hopeful. The problem (one of them) that I have with that is that it supposes... A. Davey is in on it with the board. They sit there and discuss how they're going to trick the fans every window while counting the cash they're raking into their back pockets (I know you didn't say that but that's where the story inevitably goes with that opinion). B. Davey is not in on it and is therefore as gullible and prayed on as the rest of us. Personally I think that anyone who believes either of those is delusional and gullible only to other conspiracy theorists. Moyes has too much intelligence (and inside knowledge) to be taken in and too much integrity to go along with a sham. Which one do you think is true Captain? Is he devious or stupid? Has to be one of them. I think Moyes was backed into a corner last year, and took full advantage by getting the contract he wanted. Some say that contract distracted him from doing his job with getting players in early, whether it is true or not it's widely reported what Moyes was told was radically different from the reality after he put pen to paper. As for whether he is devious, well he is Scottish after all, lol! Edited August 15, 2009 by StevO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 cant agree his contract negotiations distracted him from bringing in players early. its been well reported we didnt have the money in place until late in the window. add to that the fact moyes has an agent to look after his contract, and the fact it was quite a while after the window had closed by the time he was signing the contract.

MikeO Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 ....it's widely reported what Moyes was told was radically different from the reality after he put pen to paper. In which case (imo) he'd have walked. Widely reported where? I bet you believe Prince Phillip personally ordered Diana's death as well .

I hope they're right, Taylor would be an excellent signing and he's in the Jagielka mould (i.e. a real defender who throws himself infront of everything).

BLUE-TAC Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 The ever reliable wiki has him as ours as of today! Do transfers actually happen on sundays? <_< Think he'd be a decent signing at an ok price. Always thought he was a geordie. wiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree, and i think Taylor would do really well here, he would provide the jagielka-esque defending thats been sorely missed. Whether him and Jags can work together....i'm gonna wait to see. But on paper, two heart on sleeve players who give 110% every week, is something i among others love to see at EFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Speaking to a few Newcastle fans and they all feel that yesterday was his last game. Was emotionally waving goodbye to the fans (ala Tevez during his last game at Old Trafford). They felt that they where waving goodbye to him yesterday themsleves. Though they said they where not sure if Everton will be his destination or if rumors of a medical are true. They where, and i quote, about 80% sure that he has played his last game for Newcastle. I really hope he comes to us. I've said all along that I wanted him to come here and out of the relegated teams he would be the number 1 player I would have taken.

jamiemaher85 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I think it was Duff, but it was his surging run from right back that caused us the problems for the first. Can you remember anyone ever making a surging run from right back for us in the last 10 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Im very surprised that he will hand in a transfer request, if true. I was thinking the same thing, he doesn't seem the type. I can't see it because of his reaction at the end of their game as well; it seems more like a deal is a lot further down the line so a transfer request won't be needed.

He's not gonna want to piss off the geordies either, they know he's a Newcastle fan and it doesnt make sense for him to hand one in. and i agree on the deal being further down, i'm just hoping its us and not fuckin spurs!

CaptainFerguson10 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Steven Taylor, though born in Greenwich is Newcastle through and through. But as we're seen with Mr Lescott that money talks, so we will see. I like Taylor a lot, and Moyes like versatile players so its a perfect match as he will bring passion into the team unlike Mr greedy.

Adpom Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 now i no who he is, he is 100 times better then hibbo, a great signing an great player, loads of passion, an he alone made newcastle draw the game against us last season, setting one up an getting the 2nd. He would be fantastic an an instant starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonKey Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Good defender and gives the versatility on the right hand side that Joleon has given down the left. Would definitely like this guy to come, especially after the keystone cops defending on saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I feel the same, but at least Taylor is an improvement over Hibbert and a step in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 whats taylor like at RB? only ever seen him as a centre half meself He's OK, but he's definitely only someone who should fill-in at RB when there's no one else IMO.

Yeah, same goes with players like Corluka. Are decent in the middle but can do a steady job when shifted elsewhere. Again, only as a fill in imo.

PFthetoffee Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 anyone able to find any updates on this? After all, he was supposed to be 'having a medical' yesterday..
