I think he'd be a good signing with young legs around him to his running for him.

With Whelan and Jedinak alongside him, not so much.

We desperately need a left winger with pace (so you are out CD as you only do left wing). If we are to persist in bashing it 50 yards forward at a strikers head then we need a big fucking lump it will stick to. If we are to have a squad then it needs to be balanced rather than having 75 players who play on the right and Taylor on the left. This recruitment shit isn't all that hard if you actually put some thought into it.

Taylor looks a dud already too. In bad need of someone who can help him on the left wing.

I like him, a lot better than Amavi, Bennett, Cissokho or any other recent incumbent at left back anyways.

How did Joe play against us on Sat? He must have allowed himself a wry smile.

Taylor looks susceptible against pace and a bit of movement to me and is extremely limited going forward.
I'd have him above Cissokho but I'd also have Nicky Shorey in his current state ahead of him.

I think Taylor is excellent. It was the right hand side where they got at us and Chester let us down big time for the first time too.

That Adama Traore is quite nippy allegedly.  Wonder what happened to him?

Gareth Barry is having a medical with the Bitters.

Playing in a tiny, crap, lego looking ground, in front of the smallest crowds of his career, for Tiny Penis, watching the ball sail over his head to a giant forward, playing for corners.

I'd have retired.

I was just looking at his stats and what's impressive is that since his first proper season in 98/99 he's played 30 or more league games every year apart from 1, 20 in 01/02. That's some going for a defender/midfielder to avoid much in the way of injuries for so long.

He built a house somewhere out towards Solihull when he was playing for us, not sure if he still owns it or not though.
