In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Hmmm. Interesting. I can only imagine it's summat to do with the whole Andy Carroll incident.
He's been holding off on signing a contract, hasn't he?
What did happen with himself and Carroll?

wouldnt be surprised if it was...Carroll seems to be a bit twattish
Isn't / wasn't he their captain?
Carroll broke his jaw, the club did nothing about it, Taylor wasn't happy.
Or something.
sky is saying that money is the problem.
Newcastle say he has been offered 40 grand a week for 4 years , but Taylor wants 60+

He's a good young defender, wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Liverpool. Don't know why i can just see them going for him.
If we hadn't signed Smalling 6 months ago - I would love for us to get Taylor. Every match we played Newcastle the last few seasons - it was us against Taylor and Given.
My favorite actor.
Taylor has the raw tools but lacks composure in a big way something that I reckon will come with Smalling. Taylor can also be very rash in the tackle. Not for us in a million years.
Good player but he is out till November or something.. Wonder who will get him.. Arsenal maybe? He would count as home grown and is a quality defender imo..
Taylors contract runs out at the end of the season & he obviously wont settle for less than what he wants or thinks he deserves, and Newcastle arent willing to let him leave for feck all!
Is Joey Barton not on £80k a week, reckon Taylor & Barton should swap contracts...

i agree he is not worth 40 never mind 60+
I personally don't think he's good enough for a top 4 club.
Yep, typical blood and thunder style English defender that the tabloids and the uneducated seem to praise above all else. Part of the reason that this country is so backwards about producing footballers with the potential to shine at the very highest level.

This is what happens when City give super contracts to mid-range players like Barry,Bridge and Lescott... Others like Taylor end up wanting the same.
he he get off the fence there will you!
Agree completely. He is as thick as 2 blanks aswell. All goes back to underage football in England if you ask me.
He'd be a great buy for someone like Everton or Fulham.
I like him. Very brave and committed defender. Will always throw his head or body on the line, and i've seen him complete matches when he's been barely able to stand for the good of his team. (most notably the epic U21 euro semi final match against Holland where he scored a penalty virtually on one leg)
Maybe not the most gifted on the ball, but he's a defender first and foremost who's job is to protect his goal, and he does this pretty well.
Would be a decent signing for any side outside the top 4. Obviously i include Liverpool when i say that.

Aston Villa could use him as well. I think he's pretty good and one of the better players of his age.
He reminds me of John Terry - and thats never a good sign.
I'll always remember him for this though 
It is, if you're talking solely about defending
Same could be said about morethan a few at United
I'll always remember him for this though
He got away with a replica of that against us though. From a Fletcher shot but can't find a video of it.
I like him too...defenders who don't try to be all fancy and do more than they are supposed to......I love a defender to put the ball in row Z if that's what it needs....Tayls falls into that category
BUT, he's 24, has been offered over £8 million over 4 years, has achieved feck all, missed most of last season when his team mates got his side promoted and now he's holding the club to ransom?!
He needs to take a reality check, pocket his £40,000 a week and get back to fighting for his place in the team.
Phew I can breathe a sigh of relief. It had been too long since something controversial had had happened at Newcastle.
Really gone backwards these past few years... I suppose being at Newcastle as a youngster doesn't teach you how defend properly. Now he's Jamie Carragher today, with pace. He could have turned out so much better at another club.
That said, he's a Newcastle fan through-and-through and he'll be really gutted to leave his club so I feel somewhat sorry for him. When they went down he was one of the few who actually cared - I think he cried too.

He's a dirty shit and he's not that good.
They play for United he plays for NEWCASTLE United.
exactly,plus he is frightened of Carrol
Scumbag of the highest order, and i put him alongside the likes of Terry and Ashley Cole. Like said previously, all blood and thunder, typical brave English defender, but possess absolutely nothing between the ears. He's poor on the ball, and tend to be a bit rash in his tackle. In fact, at the highest level, where more thinking, technique and concentration is required than pure brute and aggression, he will be founding wanting each and every time.
As to his bustup with Andy Carroll, i think the story was Taylor was persistently hitting on Carroll's partner, and that resulting in a confrontation during training, and ending with Taylor's jaw broken.

Why do we get on our high horse with footballers? It's his right to ask for more money. Just as any employee can ask for more money, whatever their line of work.
What this does signal is that Newcastle appear to be being run far more sensibly these days.
Anyone else rate him quite highly.
Not saying United quality and all but is a rock for Newcastle.
Also even though everyone thinks he is a cnut, I see him as passionate.

Yeah, he is underrated for mine. But think Newcastle is the right level for him.
Mbiwa won't have it easy dislodging, imo.

Calling him "a rock" is a bit much. Newcastle have been pretty wank defensively this season.
I think he's a massive liability.
