In a move that's sure to cause upset at the Taylor's holiday villa, the city boss has pledged to continue negotiations for new players even though he is abroad on holiday.

Taylor told the Leicester Mercury, “I don’t expect anything to be completed while I’m away, but I expect to be on the phone most days so that we can complete things when I get back.

“I want to be able to tie a few things up shortly after I return.”

When asked about the recent press speculation linking him with every player that is available, along with some that aren't, Taylor explained away just what it is that football reporters do during the close season.

“I think the more stories that go in the paper about us, the more people will realise that some reporters will write anything to fill a space,’’ he said.

“There’s no real truth in most of the stories about us. The problem is that there’s no football during the summer, but writers still have to fill spaces.

“It doesn’t really worry me, but I do find it annoying sometimes to read that we are about to sign someone we haven’t had any contact with.”

Taylor refused to comment on speculation from MidasSoccer that he will only deal with agents trying to negotiate deals for English players leaving FFS to speculate that a "Buy British" policy could just be paper talk.

But with things going quiet on the transfer front for City at the moment, the rumours are the only thing keeping us sane. And although Taylor refused to be drawn on who, when and where his latest signing would come from, one thing is for sure, it looks like a signing is just around the corner.

Who should we sign? Let us now in the Fans Forum.
