... Steven Taylor could be on the move away from Tyneside in next month's transfer window, his agent has told Sky Sports.
Taylor has been forced to watch from the sidelines in recent weeks and last week he couldn't even make the bench.
What now for the player many fans thought would be the next Newcastle player to turn out for England?
At 27 he should be at his peak, and yet he is very much on the outside looking in, a million miles from wearing the white shirt at Wembley and making the plane for Brazil.
He has found himself left out of Alan Pardew's matchday squad in the last six games despite being back to fitness after injury.
Taylor has not featured since the defeat by Manchester City on the opening weekend of the season and is frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities.
Taylor, who has been promised a new deal by director of football Joe Kinnear, could now be made available on loan for January or even for a cut-price fee of £1.5million.
The player's agent, Willie McKay, confirmed Taylor could go out on loan in search of first-team football.
Willie McKay: "Steven is now fully fit, but he is frustrated not to be playing as that is what he loves doing.
"He has not been involved for the last six games and of course it is frustrating.
"Steven fully understands that the team have been on a good winning run and the manager does not want to change a winning team.
"Joe Kinnear has promised Steven a new deal in January and he could be made available for loan if he is not going to be playing for Newcastle."
