Newcastle Transfer News: Ryan Taylor "In Talks" With Standard Liege
Will Taylor rediscover his form in Belgium?
"Former #nufc player Ryan Taylor in preliminary talks with Standard Liege about a move to Belgium."A versatile right-back, right-winger or central-midfielder, Taylor signed for Newcastle in January 2009 as part of the deal that took Charles N'Zogbia to Wigan. An impressive performer during Newcastle's Championship-winning season in 2009-10, Taylor then suffered from a number of serious knee complaints over the following few seasons that severely limited his playing time. Returning during the 2014-15 season, Taylor had clearly been affected by his injuries and did not look anything like the solid performer of before. As well as scoring the derby winner against Sunderland from a free-kick in August 2011 - a goal which earned him the chant "Ryan Taylor, Over The Wall" - he made a total of 106 appearances for Newcastle, netting on 10 occasions.
