His injury record is too iffy. We'd need to give him 18 months to see if he can stay fit. he's had a few injuries yes, but before that didn't he go something like 7 years without missing a game? i'm not going to rush to conclusions about givens fitness until its as obvious as the sky is blue that he'll never complete a season again. at the moment he's had one thigh injury and one reacurance of it. I'm talking about Foster. For Given though, its been more than two injuries to the thigh and groin areas, it has been 5 or 6 times this year, missing 28% of the games he has played. How can he miss the games he has played? That's impossible. Sorry games we have played, but you knew that already. Do you ever bother having opinions of your own in real life? Or do you just prefer to make people look stupid to give yourself an ego trip? When you're involved it's the second option. And signing Jussi would be pointless, Man City should bag him. YA i agree,better signing for man city imo

wHAT?Ok whose being better besides Cech?Ya since the star trek fucker nearly killed him!I would,he has being out for any serious amount of time!Im confident that Sam and his team can sort it!

Ya evermind that he was one of the best keeper in England for the last couple of seasons!Considering he has had a stop start season its bound to effect him!Would you sell one of our best players because hes had bad 2 or 3 games in the last couple of years!!!FFS!!!

Owen is a crock Emre disappears in away matches Martins is a one man band who needs to improve but may not Milner won't ever be better than average I'd be disappointed to see N'Zogiba leave. Agreed. I'd try and keep Martins for another season though. Depends, mate. All we need are replacements who are better and they could go whenever as far as I'm concerned. Fair enough. Just feel with Martins he has some things we can improve and work on. I'd be tempted to give him one more season unless of course a top tier replacement is available and willing. It's an exaggeration but give me a chance to explain.... Martins as a striker is to me like Bramble as a defender. He promises so much. Think about this, Parky. Think about some of the fantastic performances from Bramble, think about the 89 minutes of a solid performance ruined by a single crap decision that cost us a match. Both players have tremendous attributes for their relevant positions but both suffer from poor decision making in my opinion. In the case of Bramble it costs a team goals conceded. In the case of Martins it costs a team chances and goals scored. Ultimately it costs the same thing, football matches. Martins is a one-man band, there's no doubt about it. He lacks awareness of what is going on around him so he makes poor decisions at critical moments. He must improve on this otherwise there will always be that frustration with him as a team player. Individually he needs too many chances to score a goal, something masked by the spectacular. There is bags of potential in Martins but there is also plenty of room for improvement, perhaps he has the right attitude to do it. I hope so. Thats a bit harsh.......I wouldnt compare anyone to Tightass least of all last seasons top scorer and our current top scorer!

One bad game.....fucking stupid!!!Really hope he comes back and plays well again cos I liked the look of him in his first few games!

Sad but true!

Did you see the Ireland v Wales highlights?He made 4 world class saves in that game and dint look ropey at all!Hopefully he will carry that performance into the next game!

Dont think we would get much for Harper at this stage in his career though.Prob 1mil at most!

I personally think Jaaskelainens a sloppy keeper,he seems to drop alot of easy shots!I think Given has proven to us over the last 5 or 6 years that hes undroppable!Only since that star trek fucker injured him hes being unlucky with injurys since then!

Im getting more worried about this Jaaskelainen situation!He hasnt signed a new contract with Bolton and his current contract runs out in the summer!He can sign a pre contract agreement with a club in January if he wants!I really dont want to see him come here as I could see him take the number one spot ahead of Given and Harper!Whatever about Harper hes simply not in the same league as Given!What do ye lads think?

Berti Vogts?How the fuck did he get a job.....with a decent side as well!Poor Oba! Ah 2 weeks taking the piss there in all fairness!The club pays the wages FFS!

Where would Arshavin play? How would your mid/attacking formation look? Given Beye Rozehnal Faye Enrique Edmilson Riquelme Barton Arshavin N'Zogbia Viduka I think I just jizzed my pants Same here!!!!Never gonna happen!Even if we do sign Riquelme,he will be injured in no time anyways!! Edmilson will be a good signing though! Not sure about the Arshavin dude though

Clearing 90mil off our debt is getting his wallet out?Im confident we will sign a few players in January.Unlike our last chairman I think he will be more careful with how he spends his money

He looks like a homeless wino!!!

Wales score pen,fuck!!!!!!

Unbelievable save by Shay!

Another good save by Shay!

As I said Hunt on the left,McGeady on the right!First touch for Hunt,great cross,2 one Ireland,Doyle scores!!!!!!!Get in!!!!!! :clap2:

Fully agree

What a save Shay!!!

Get in!!!!!Great ball by Doyle,lovely finish by Keane!!!!!

Should have equailsed doyle clean through,fluffed it completely!

Every time I hear about that bloke it's gold stuff. I want him on Sky! Sky wouldnt want him cos he says what he thinks!Souness said he couldnt believe what they get away with on rte,they wouldt be allowed to say anything like that on sky!

Would pick the same except Emre for Butt

Well most international games Iv watched arent great.Think its cos they dont train together enough!Also the pitch is terrible and the fact Ireland dont have a manager doesn help! Also yes the strip is terrible!
