I'm happy, but if we got an offer for Given now it would be worth considering. However the best of Given is yet to come, his peak is a couple of seasons away, but he does need focus on the areas he lacks in, if he does he'll be the best keeper in the league when he reaches that peak. He's had enough GK coaches now though, it seems his faults are permanent. You say that but if this season is anything to go by he's past his peak. I'm willing to see what he can do etc. when he's fully recovered but he's never looked the same since that clash with the ex-West Ham fella. David James at his age having his best spell for me suggests there could be a lot more to come from Given. James has bigger faults than Given at his age, concentration crippling his credibility as a top keeper, he sorted it in the end. I can see Robinson taking the same path as James and later in his career becoming a top keeper, i just hope Given does the same. Its taking all this time for Harper to show he's good enough for a 1st team place. Given's reflexes are slowing with age, he's not going to get any better yeah, because he's 50 now.. wake the f*** up people, even Cech, Button and Cassillas have had s**** seasons. some of you are very quick to write off 10 seasons of brilliant performances.. Cech hasn't had a s*** season Cassillas is world class, is younger than Given and Button is a racing driver so I dont see how that matters Come on, don't tell me that you are not aware of Gianluigi Button? You're mixing him up with Jenson Buffon, mate... :-)

He won't cost anything apart from his signing on fee, it's a Bosman. I'm hoping Robbie Keane will persuade him, they're mates having lived in the same street in Tallaght as kids. I am probably the only one, but I can't stand any Tottenham fans on this board. Your getting on my tits with your daily ITK shit... (and YES, I am still gutted about Modric :-))

True. Chelsea wouldn't be that stupid?!?! :-)

Most overrated player ever...

totally agreed...thanks :-)

Are you mad, FFS???

Would love it... :-)

Why? I could cry, whenever I hear his name mentioned in the same sentence as the Toon...

Yes and Cristiano Ronaldo. Nani came from there also. What kind of cretin writes off a player based on him coming from a club where one of our less succesful players came from. Bizare concept. Thought the same... just stupid. Sporting has got one of the best (if not the best) youth setups in Europe with loads of talented players.

Yes and Cristiano Ronaldo. and Quaresma...

Allardyce put us back at least two. sad but true!

Owen will not sign a new contract. So it will be Martins...

Good idea...

same here...

I know. Thats why I mentioned him after Carr and Rammy... BTW: There isn't much difference between Shameobi and Shitty, tbh. :-(

After Carr, Rammy and Ameobi...he just has to be the first, who'll be flogged out.

Or did you mean the dominance within the league??? :-/

They didn't when the Italians or the Spaniards were on top... Blatter is a corrupt first grade wanker!

Might sound a bit childish, but I couldn't forgive the fucker... Don't like him already - would hate him then! Forgive him for what? leaving NUFC without paying them back... Come on, you know what I meant. ;-)

Thanks for another reason... :-) Wouldn't want him. Would prefer Ashton as our big/tall striker. Still think that we have to change that one-dimensionality (does that word even exist?), which has been one of our major problems yesterdays (clear to see when we lost Viduka). We cannot operate with longballs and one striker holding them up. We need some creativity...

Exactly...Still think that Faye is better!

Because he deserves it?!?!? ;-)

Chelsea for the whole of football??? FFS don't make laugh...

Hmmmm...
