Sorry West Ham ... You Haven't A Hope!

Allegedly: "Magpies billionaire owner Mike Ashley wants to reduce the wage bill at St James' Park - and Taylor, 22, fears a new deal will not arrive quickly or match his demands, says the News of the World.

"With just one year left on the defender's contract he signed before becoming a first-team regular, the Hammers hope Newcastle will be open to offers for the England Under-21 star."
 
Taylor is nowhere near being the biggest earner at Newcastle, and a deal will be on the table sooner rather than later.

As for West Ham? They can try when he's as injury prone as Scott Parker; as old as Nobby Solano; as troublesome as Lee Bowyer and Craig Bellamy; or as heartless as Kieron Dyer.

Try again in 2020.
