Steven Taylor to Tottenham? No chance!

So after working a near 24-hour shift, and recharging myself with a few hours sleep, I was pretty shocked to see what sort of news had been floating around concerning Newcastle.
The headlines suggested that Steven Taylor was looking to move to Spurs in January. Great, just what we need! But then I had a look at the sources that were peddling and regurgitating the rumour, and calmed down a bit as they can hardly be classed as reliable.
Still, there is no smoke without fire, or so I thought, so I went on a quest to try and fnd out where the rumour started. Yep, you’ve guessed it – The press!
I’ve looked high and low for any form of quote suggeting that Taylor is looking to move to Spurs. I can’t find any. In fact the closest I can find is one article suggesting the Taylor is now more keen to move than ever after making his first-team appearance at the weekend.
Utter bollocks, and an indication that the press are up to their old tricks again!
There has been some other developments in the story of Steven Taylor’s future today though. It has been reported that Taylor has been offered a new and improved contract from the club, although there is no official confirmation from either party on that at the moment.
With Taylor free to talk to other clubs in January though it would make sense for the club to make an effort to tie the defender down to a new longer-term deal. At least they will know where they stand, and so will he fans.
It’s all speculation at the moment though and I guess we, as fans, will only know the details after the event. As with everything that involves our club, we tend to be the last to know, which is frustrating but is no different to what happens at other clubs up and down the country.
Time will tell!
kin ‘el the Spuds are linked with everyone these days, a bit like us a few years ago ! Bizarre !!
When does STaylors contract run out exactly ?
