Manchester City sign Villa's GK Taylor

Manchester City have completed yet another signing to indicate that they are not going to wait for other clubs to create any interest in their chosen targets.This time they have strengthened their goalkeeping options by bringing in Stuart Taylor from Aston Villa.

Taylor,former Arsenal goalie would now be part of the revolution taking place at Manchester City with not big money signings as was expected but players who can make their mark.

He would compete with Shay Given for the number 1 stopper at Eastlands.

Manager,Mark Hughes showed his delight in acquiring the former England U-21.

We are delighted to be able to add a goalkeeper of Stuart's undoubted calibre to the squad.

Stuart is still a fairly young goalkeeper at 28 but he provides a wealth of experience and reliability.

This would mean Joe Hart can be loaned out or can move on to Birmingham City as he's failed to be part of the team since Given's arrival in January.
