Still no confirmation on Taylor signing

Last updated : 05 August 2003 By Brian Cartlidge
The 31-year-old fomer Southampton keeper is set to join Blues on a season long loan deal with a view to a permanent contract at the end of the forthcoming season should Blues maintain their Premiership status.

Taylor, who was seen training with the rest of the Blues squad at Wast Hills on Monday, was thought to have completed the switch from Loftus Road to St. Andrew's on Saturday only for Fulham to announce the deal had not been finalised.

The West London side are being linked with veteran keeper Dave Beasant and our guess is that once they have goalkeeping cover for Edwin Van der Sar at the club, the deal to bring Taylor to Blues will be officially announced.
