Transfer Talk - 2018/19 Season

Huth was slow... always liked Taylor, seemed hard nosed!

He was the one too that took the shovel off one of the groundsmen cause he was going too slow, and shoveled the snow himself, during a game for Posh last season.

Cool, maybe he will come and take the flag off the yellow fever if we are not waving it enthusiastically enough too

That's a dick move though

According to Phillip Rollo, the four guys training with the club atm are Elliot, Sinclair, Gulley and De Jong.

Provided Hard News doesnt lose them first

If he signs here and starts looking for Newcastle's results first he might get confused!

Talks announced by Peterborough:

Excited by this.

not a lot of happy fans from their side. that has to be a good sign right?

Liked this comment

"Pity. Thought he was heart and soul for us and a possible coach of the future. Good luck"

Didn't like this

"Pheonix"

guys...is this the guy we are signing?

Last I heard from my close Rufer source was after the All Whites trip he was on a few weeks ago, was hoping to get a Phoenix contract.

Haven't been in touch since to hear the current goings on, but the new boss may be checking other people out, working out who he rates as the best NZers are before looking to the likes of Rufer.

Possible they all may be out the window, but I wouldn't assume that.

Some how I don't think he likes us

Must be a right old laugh that Auckland twitter bloke

Peterborough actually just signed a pretty decent young box to box midfielder off Dundee, my pre-Phoenix team. They are looking an ambitious club keen for promotion that are reshaping their squad. 

Him being discarded only means they don't rate him to do 40 games again to win promotion and through playoffs etc. Probably correct, but probably still a good League One defender, and hopefully also an ace A-League defender.

He was playing Premier League football only 2 seasons ago, played almost 200 games in the English top flight and he's only 32. Form is temporary and class is permanent of course, and despite a dodgy time at Portland, you'd think he would still be a top Championship defender but he probably know's his body wouldn't last one of their ridiculous seasons. A massive coupe for the Nix if we pull this off. 

Interestingly he had Jake Gleeson organising his defensive efforts from goal, for his 9 games there at the Timbers.

Damn, judging from all the replies to that tweet, that’s an understatement. If he’s half as good as the Posh fans make him out to be, we’ve got a real gem

He got rightfully abused by Nix fans (who I assume are from here...)

Great signing for us and the league.Fingers crossed we get him

COYN

I'm loving this. Taylor was one of those centre-backs who was often talked about as an England international, but he never quite got a cap. I know he did sit on the bench for England at least once without getting on the pitch. 

It has been acknowledged that pace has never been his greatest asset, but his know-how, passion and experience will be invaluable.

Exciting stuff. Hope he plays up here against Wairarapa next week.

This. Would have played a whole lot more games for Newcastle (and probably England) if it wasn't for some terrible luck with injuries. Always came across as a natural leader which is exactly what our backline (and team) needs.

Now theres a level of accuracy that you wouldnt normally associate with Twitter users

I heard that he was off to Switzerland.

maybe Jake put in a good word.

Another kiwi off to play in the lower scandi leagues.

....

You ignorant goon, Switzerland isn't in Scandinavia, it's in southern Africa, next to Mozambique.

Wait am I missing something here? Swaziland is the one in Southern Africa, Switzerland is the one in Europe, though it's not a Scandinavian country. 

Whoosh...

No, you're right, Swabia is the Scandinavian country.

Quite ironic that you of all people completely miss the lame joke ;)

Oh see if Ikea, Valeo!

Well I feel a bit stupid now. 

You made up for it with a great gif.

Steven Taylor transfer on TV news this morning

Steven Taylor - will optimistically hope that his name is never spelt wrong on here.
