A BIT MORE CONCLUSIVE THAN YOUR OFFICIAL SITE, RE TAYLOR!!!!

THATS THE END OF IT! HA HA

City boss Glenn Roeder today put on a brave face as he confirmed that defender Martin Taylor would not be returning to Carrow Road, admitting: “The deal just wasn't viable.”

The Canaries were desperate to extend centre-half Taylor's loan from Birmingham City - which expired after Saturday's 1-0 victory over Sheffield United - with a view to a permanent signing in the January transfer window.

But Roeder had to reluctantly admit defeat when the two clubs failed to reach agreement last night.

He also said it was “unlikely” the move could be revived in the new year, following what he described as “very difficult” talks with Birmingham.

The news will come as a bitter blow to supporters who voted Taylor player of the month for November after a string of impressive displays and saw him as a key figure in their team's dramatic revival under the new manager.

“We won't be getting him. He's not signing and we have got to get on without Martin Taylor,” said Roeder.

“He's done his bit, he's been fantastic but we couldn't do a deal.”
