I don't really know what you're talking about. My opinion has nothing to do with feelings, it's a based on the future, i don't care about Given either way. If Krul has a future at the club and is a potential number 1 then he should be given the opportunity that he has been waiting for. Bringing in Given would surely end his time here.
Krul will never be "ready" if he doesn't play games.

Interesting that he seems to be a bench player at Twente, 29 of his 56 appearances have been from the bench

Our boardroom must look like a chimps tea party, we just haven't acted like a serious club in this window. Two unfit players that unexpectedly became available, and a bloke called James Perch, i'm not sure what our plan was in June exactly.
If the guy sits on the bench for the whole season and doesn't leave then he is a maniac, i'm a fan and i would be off quicker than you can say "maybe next season".
Ofcourse they're being difficult, we're(allegedly) trying to loan a player that they want to sell, and that has apparently got clubs offering the asking price. If we were in their shoes i wouldn't want to even think about such a deal.
I don't like this talk of realism from Hughton, going into the season without improving the first team, realistically, is retarded. It's not the fans that need to get real at this point.
I don't care enough to call him a Judas. I loved him when he was here, so i'm surprised that he doesn't bring any emotional response out of me, but there it is, he's just another player to me now.
Out of interest, why would Roberts be a pointless signing?
Because he's old, an average footballer, and doesn't score many goals. We need a striker that will make a significant impact.
