Judge summed it up well

"The unwillingness, or inability, to sign Taylor is the first indication that the Turners will not be the force that alot of people - including myself - hoped they would be.

OK we don't know the details of the deal, we don't know what other players Roeder has on his shopping list for January - we will only know that on 1st Feb. What we do know however is that the fee was around £1m and the player wanted by all accounts to come here. The only thing we would have been negotiating with Birmingham on is the fee - the players wages would be between us and him/his agent. So it looks like we weren't prepared to pay £1m for a central defender, who we have been been looking for - for over 4 seasons, and one that wanted to come here aswell (so none of those crap excuses about the difficultly to get the player or mrs to come to Norwich).

Dissappointing to say the least. Roeder will be dissappointed to - as he was making all the right noises about wanting to keep the player here. Welcome to the mad world of NCFC Glen - i hope you aren't as principalled as Martin O'Neil and walk when you don't get hardly anything in Jan - a time when prices will be even more inflated !

I still hope they will prove me wrong - but the early signs aren't encouraging. "

Anyway onwards and upwards, A win at Colchester needed to lift the spirits again!!
