McCarthy: Taylor Can Leave - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed that striker Paul Taylor is available for transfer or loan having been left out of the Blues’ 21-man squad at Leyton Orient today.
"He’s available for transfer or loan. He won’t be playing for me,” McCarthy said afterwards. "He’s not for me.
"That was made clear at the end of last season, so I’m not saying anything that I haven’t already said and it’s not ‘shock, horror, that’s a good story’ because that was the case last season.
"I thought that I’d have a look at it, assess it. He came back really fit, he’s a had a go, but he’s just not for me.”
Taylor, 26, joined Town from Peterborough for an initial fee of £1.5 million in the summer of 2012 but, having suffered a serious foot injury soon after signing, has been unable to break into the first team on a regular basis.
