Thinking back to Ryan Taylor's recovery period, and the games the club put on behind closed doors to help him claw some fitness back after two years of inactivity, it was a smart move by all associated with organising them. But, what probably wasn't a smart move, and what the club will probably be less inclined to publicise openly, is that those Behind Closed Doors games were only closed to the public. They were open to scouts from other clubs. And unfortunately - inevitably - Man City had a scout at at least one of those games (not necessarily one of the games set up for Taylor specifically, but one in the not too distant past), because they've got their eyes on one of Newcastle's talents. No prizes for guessing that the man in question is Rolando Aarons, whose blistering Premier League form has only come as a shock to anyone who hasn't kept track of his progress through the Reserves. Sadly for anyone hoping to keep Aarons at Newcastle for a good few years, City's scouts have been doing just that. Whether Aarons would move remains to be seen of course - he's got his feet on the ground, and he knows the club have helped him a lot - but there will come a point where the money City are willing to throw at him becomes greater than Newcastle's desire to profit from him in other ways, and his own desires will matter as much as Andy Carroll's did in 2011. Let's just hope City don't have the money for it...
