Well, I thought I'd freshen this thread up, because, surprise, surprise, the Birmingham Mail has a good editorial about Neil Taylor and how important he could be to Villa.
He's 32 now and coming to the end of his contract, but he could prove very useful in using his Asian background to tap into the almost untapped Asian population.

How useful will he be to us though? I'd guess he will be off this Summer and he's probably too young to retire or take a coaching/youth development role.
I wouldn't be surprised if he got an extension and I think it all hinges on whether or not we finish in European places. If we just end up nice and comfortably midtable I could see him getting a one-year extension. If we make the Euro places he might be released.
He seems content and Dean seems content with him too. Maybe he will retire and this is what he is actually passionate about.
