Taylor might want to play right back but he is much more effective in midfield, and far better on the right side than Guthrie

Ryan Taylor has stated before his best position is right back. Thats where he wants to play…

Its a decent article except for the inclusion of Ryan Taylor. He is a right winger….we bought him because he scored against us twice from free kicks. As you say he has some goals and assists but there are worries over his defence….thats because he is not a defender. We are doing the same thing to Rtaylor as we did to Nzogbia and that is forcing him out of position and then criticizing the makeshift job he does. Let him compete with Wayne and get another RB to show we have him as a winger.

rich – I would do as eastend says. See if norwich want forster back on loan and keep krul as number 2.

Forster seems gets games at championship level which keeps him happy and lets him develop for us for a year or two.

richard, keep harper, krul his understudy and keep loaning out young frasier.

i dont think krul can argue or expect first team football anywhere else unless the lower leagues… he knows he’s next in line… and the life span of keepers… they start later (first team wise) and their career lasts longer… he shouldnt feel rushed

icedog, for some reason all the wingers who left us did really well this season in positions not used as regular for the toon. N’zog is more central this year, yes he start on the wing but dimps inside alot more (freedom and involvement).
Milner is like he was when at leeds, central and demanding of the ball. he was great for us and can see why keegan left once he was sold. if we sold duff rather than milner last year we wouldnt have been relegated. But thats life.

RICHARDJ,yes duff does did do that at the toon (poorly),n”zog is a winger, ime talking about a central midfielder some one in the mould of g.speed,emre at times etc we have no one left footed m8,plus some players can play both sides a lot just cannot
