Well I wouldn''t blame him if he signs for WBA, doesn''t have to move, can retain his premiership wages and will most likely be in the Premiership next year.

And all we had to do 3 weeks ago is up out £750k offer to £1m and he would have been ours.

just about to post this lol, was talking someone on here earlier and said i heard nout about it

still nothing in the local paper which very good for information, got told about ebanks-blake 4-5hrs before it was announced. so dont know if they just got this from the papers this morning or if anymore to the move to wba. suprised if they sign him as they have cesar, barnett, albrachten who play centre half

wondered if just paper talk though as no quotes from birmingham or wba to suggest a move

If he signs for WBA I shall be very pissed off.  He could have been our player 24 days ago if we were prepared to match a very reasonable price tag.Do you reckon we could hire Smudger for another 1 man protest against this?

Maybe we could look to bring in Justin Hoyte on loan from Arsenal, he can play right-back or central defender, and then try for a decent central defender on a permanent move in the summer when the prices are less bonkers ?

I''ve got a feeling that Birmingham won''t be able to get anyone in, and Taylor will end up on the bench for them until they arrange a loan.

I reckon that Brum are putting this out to raise awareness that Taylor is still available and hope that this could possibly push the price up or hope that we up our bid as we have the only firm bid on the table but does not meet there valuation.Roeder knows that Taylor wants to come here and wont pay what Brum want for him.Its risky but i''m confident that Roeder knows what he is doing.....!!

This deal has the 31st Jan written all over it unless they sign Cahill before then.........

Up to now nobody apart from QPR has been interested in Taylor have they??

Was 750k bid not mentioned by Karen Brady a while back or have i missed something?

[/quote]I thought we had made a concrete bid of 750k, which was turned down.

BUT didn''t that contradict a comment from this end that we hadn''t made a bid? There was also speculation that we may have made a verbal enquiry but we didn''t make a formal, written (presumably what you take to be a firm) offer.

This reminds me of the Hulse "offer".

I, personally, would not read to much into this as the only indication of any interest is quoted from the Mirror. No direct quotes from B`ham, WBA or anyone. The story is padded out with quotes from  O`neill about Cahill.

 

Glenn will get his man if he really wants him but will not pay over inflated prices at this time of year. This has ( IMO ) nothing to do with whether we have the money and everything to do with what Glenn wants to pay. If we don`t get Taylor, then it will not be the end of the world. After all, results have not been too bad over the last few weeks.

I would prefer a striker first to convert some of the chances we are creating.

If we don`t get Taylor, then it will not be the end of the world.

[/quote]It will be if Shackell or Doherty (or both) get injured or suspended

any time soon. We desperately need both a centre back and a centre

forward before the end of the window.

“VIOLET ELIZABETH here.” I do a double-take before realising Glenn Roeder had read my Sun piece about him “screaming, screaming till I’m sick” because we wouldn’t sell him Martin Taylor at a bargain-basement price.

As Spurs chairman texts me “You want Harrods quality at Woolworths prices”, Glenn and I compare brains. We’ve both had brain ops. He doesn’t care what the papers say, it has to be better than being six feet under. No question.

From that rambling nonsense, is it fair to suggest that Glenns'' "op" was more successful ?  Or is she dumbing down to the point of being unreadable ?

Very true, I know which one I would choose in his situation, there is a lot less hassle for him.

I still don''t think that GR wants to pay more, whether he is being restrained by the board or not, but I do think he is stubborn and if he values someone at a price, I reckon he would stick to his guns and not pay for it. But the board will get the flack for it, and quite rightly so if they don''t want to stump up the money, but if GR does not want to pay for it, will the message board slag him off or trust him with his judgement?
