Blades on the 'Tayl' of Oldham winger!

Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell is supposedly in the hunt for Oldham Athletic winger Chris Taylor.

Taylor, who's caught the eye over the past eighteen months has put in some impressive performances of late for Dave Penny's men and it's thought that Blackwell wants to make him a United player come January.

£250,000 is a reported fee for the winger, who has played over 150 times for the Latics, scoring 19 goals, including 10 last season.

It's a signing that would perhaps cause a conflict of opinion amongst fans, but if Blackwell's previous signing from further down the football league ladder (Jamie Ward) is anything to go by then it could be a very shrewd move.

Leeds United were also rumoured to be interested in the winger over the summer, but Oldham supposedly rejected a £500,000 bid, although are now considering cashing in on their prize asset.

where does he predominantly play left or right wing. Is this Cotts replacement being lined up? Will he be better than all our other wingers? Hope Blackwells instincts are as good with this as they were with Ward. To be honest never heard of the lad.

think steven quinn will be happy wih this, at least he wouldn't be the ugliest little scroat at the club anymore!!!

....he might still be the most useless midfielder though!

gloucblade

think we should get of quinns back abit ...we all need to remember he was the clubs highest goal scorer last season. he's still very young and learning his trade. under blackwell don't think you can comment on any players ability as he is playing everyone out of position and playing tactics that suit no one. ok we have loads of injuries but blackwell loves to press the panic button as often as possible..he makes things a lot harder than what they actually are.
