Re: Gareth Taylor’s Manchester City 5-0 Bristol City.
As well as doing well for us attacking-wise, I still think he was one of the best players we've had at defending corners. Great asset to have in a team.

I'm not sure if this is a good signing for Spurs.
He's a good player in general in terms of the Premier League and was very important to Everton but is he of the level that Spurs need - to propel them into League contenders?
I'm not sure but time will tell.
