There were some stories out earlier today, that Neil Taylor may have rejected a contract at Newcastle.
Neil Taylor – Newcastle offered him a 5 year deal
And the news going around, was that Everton may have moved in for the player and beaten Newcatsle to the 22 year old Welsh International.
Neil is now back in Swansea, but the Evening Chronicle is reporting this afternoon, that the inside information from the club is that the Newcastle deal is in fact still very close to completion.
It seems the deal is a long one – a five year deal – and inside sources at Newcastle are saying there is nothing untoward in the delay, and they still expect Neil to become a Newcastle United player.
The 22 year-old, who made massive improvements in his play last season at Swansea last season, will then have to fight it out for a position at left-back or on the left side of midfield in the Magpies’Â first team next season.
That’s good news – and of the two stories doing the rounds today on Taylor – we hope this one is true.
Comments always welcome.

Comment #50Really hope we sign some of the better players that we are linked with. Im all for Matiudi&Tiote in the middle of the park but we need firepower coz at teh miute we aint got any….no disrespect but I honestly dont think any of our strikers could score over 10 goals in a season…..lets get a proppa goal scorer in

Comment #51Irie-Magpie
the price has put a lot of people off, 15mil for an unproven player who has only played in the championship, a good prospect but not worth anything near that

Comment #65Marvin Martin price will probably be just out of our range.
Hoping for an actual Right sided Right Winger…. rather then a left winger playing on the right (Barnetta, Marveaux)
Ryad Boudabouz seems possible.

Comment #73@Rozehnal
Because Mike ashley is not one to spend that much for a player.
Marvin Martin will be more then 10mill, and i cant see MA offering more then that for one player.

Comment #74@JB & BB
That is ridiculous money, i tell you this guys MA n co are going about things the right way buy cheap sell high unlike our derby friends before you know it they will have sent that 26mil from Bent and barely improved their squad..we still have what 35mil after 3 signings…in the words of Peter Griffin Freaaking sweet.

That is provided Jonas Stays ofcourse. and before you decide to CAPS LOCK again. Anything can happen in the transfer window.

Comment #76to Chateauneuf:
Boudabouz is predominantly a left footer.
Jonas (if he stays) on the right wing is a good shout.

Comment #79Nolan Roux apparantly has a 6.5million release clause aswell. Would be cheaper then the reported 10mill required for Erdinc
