I know this will sound very innocent but at the end of the day West Brom employ people to scout, watch and assess players and also to consider their fit into the squad and plans of West bromwich Albion.

We were linked to Taylor, and get linked (or are rumoured to be linked) to numerous players but have chosen not to take it further - we have to hope that the logic and thinking is good.

So Burnley are welcome to have him as he suited us a few years ago and last but now does not have what we want.

Let's wait for the window to open and take stock at the end of July - it might not be any different frm previous years - but we will only know that for sure come August 1st.

Stairs, the only thing I would say to that is, why renew the recent interest in him?

We only have the press to say that real interest was shown.

But let's say we did. We might have made one enquiry because he was effectively on a free. But then we found out it was not as simple as that and silly money was being talked about.

Once it was clear we could not take a low cost risk and add him to the squad we brushed it aside and moved on.

Minor, casual interest blown out of all proportion by the press - as usual
