http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_2727532,00.html Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce has spoken of his disappointment that the club's contract dispute with Steven Taylor has gone public. The promising 21-year-old, recently given a taste of full international honours with England, has rejected a contract offer to remain in the North East. Taylor has established himself as a defensive lynchpin at St James' Park but the offer he received from the club has not sat well with his father, and advisor, Alf. And having gone public with his concerns, Taylor senior has provoked Allardyce into a response. 阿勒代斯對於 Taylor 的父親把合約談判失敗的事情搞到上報感到失望。 Counter-punch "The position is that we offered what we considered a very good contract for a player of his age and his experience, and if they have turned it down, then that's fine," said Allardyce. "The disappointing thing is - and I don't want to get into any slanging matches - is that it was publicised in the papers, and I think that was wrong by his father. "But I will cover that when we get sat down to talk about it again." 阿勒代斯表示：我們提供了一個針對他年齡以及經驗來說我們覺得不錯的合約給他， 如果他拒絕了，ok，那沒關係。 但令人失望的是，我們並不想讓事情搞成互相在口水戰，讓這一切上報。我認為 這是 Taylor 的父親做錯了。 Key player While Allardyce is loath to be held to ransom with regards the player's wages, he does accept that the defender is a now a key member of his first team ranks. "Steven Taylor is a key member of our squad. We want him to stay, apparently it sounds like he wants to stay, so hopefully we can resolve the problems," he said. "At the moment, we seem to be some way off, but we won't get sucked into paying somebody that we think is asking for too much. "We want to give it a realistic look, and we have already started that process with the likes of Charles N'Zogbia, to push on to Nicky Butt and people like that who are in the last year of their contracts. "That's the next thing we have to do now that the window is shut. Hopefully very shortly, everybody will have agreed and we will have a much more settled camp. "From my point of view, it's always a little bit disturbing when people are talking about contracts while you are playing Premier League football. "It can upset the player on the field, and that's the last thing we want." 阿勒代斯同時也表示，再轉會窗口關閉的下一步他要搞定的就是一些像是已經續約 的N'Zogbia或是繼續推動像Butt這種合約已到最後一年的續約等問題。 Taylor 父親的行為令人遺憾，但 Taylor 並不像是想離開的樣子，因此阿勒代斯 希望可以盡早把事情解決。 --
