Is Taylor's Agent Still Looking For A Big Pay Day?
After Andy Carroll knocked seven bells out of Steven Taylor ... we believed Taylor's days on Tyneside were numbered. And that could be the case. Steven Taylor's agent has been tauting his client for a move - hoping one of the big boys (who have all been linked with him) Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea will come calling. But the fact is - regardless what crap they publish in the Sunday Sun or Daily Mail - none of those three have offered a penny. So where does that put Taylor and his agent? Allegedly his agent says contract talks with Newcastle have become "difficult and drawn-out", but he remains hopeful an agreement can be reached. Paul Stretford (agent): "It would not be right to go into specific details as I don't believe it would help the situation. Suffice to say matters are not progressing as I would like them to or would expect, but I am hopeful that there will be some movement in the near future. "In the case of Steven it is typical of modern contract negotiations; they can become difficult and drawn-out. But from our point of view we are keen to try to conclude matters in the near future." Taylor: "This is the club I have been at all my life. Last year we did a fantastic job getting the club back to where it belongs. "The manager and his staff have done a great job and I hope they get enough support so that they can continue to move the club forward. I would love to be a part of that but first I need to get myself fit and back playing. "I'm not going to comment on the stories about my contract talks. They are a matter for my agent and the club to sort out."
