Taylor not made for Barnmouth

Barnmouth's hopes of signing Warren Taylor are dashed after the controversial USA star joins Oxford Rovers in a sensational deal. The BBC's Jeremy Stern reports from The Dane Cart Stadium.


Taylor had indicated he'd been ready to sign for Barns to relaunch his nosediving career.

The move looked on when Swindon Sparrows chairman Billie McKeown said on the club's website his struggling star could leave on a free transfer.

The American seemed happy to sign a pay-as-you-play deal for Barnmouth, with no other clubs seemingly interested.

But this morning League Two rivals Oxford came in with an offer that has shocked and - more than anything - confused, football.

The fee is undisclosed but it's believed the Cotswolds club shelled out more than £1m with Taylor signing a four-year deal.

Barns chairman Greg Chavney said the club couldn't compete with that kind of offer. "I thought Oxford were skint so this comes as a major surprise," he said.

"It's crazy money for a player who's got ability but has hardly kicked a football for a year. I wonder whether there's more to this than meets the eye. Something's going on."

Barns are now in talks with nomadic striker Jefferson Rooney who's just been released by Whitchurch & Constable.

The characters and events depicted in this game are fictional. Any Similarity to real events or persons (whether living or deceased) is unintentional.
