kirkwdavis2001 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Heard on TalkSport tonight that they have agreed to let Freidel go but that was reliant upon the bid they have made for an unknown keeper being accepted. Sounds entirely feasible to me. A few seasons ago I would have been gutted but after Harpers performance the last few games of the season I'm not that bothered. We should get decent cash for him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 That coupled with Krul/Foster/Sodeburg we are pretty much covered for future keepers as all of them have got massive potential. Time to bring some new blood on perhaps?? Man Shitty didnt do too badly using younguns? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Swap for Warnock or a few million and I'd be happy. We've got Harper and Krul can come in as a back-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shearer_united Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would like to see both Given and Harper having a testimonial (and ending their careers) at this club - Newcastle United. But if they were to play at another club I wish them the best for their careers; in the end they are just players and are paid to play at a club.

SteveMc Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'd be against this. He's had a rough time but I still think he's our best keeper. It also sends out completely the wrong message when trying to attract players as he is seen as one of our best ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 If we get £6m+ i'll be happy. Really wont be arsed if he's sold, Harper n Krul will do for me next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I know we're fairly well covered in that area but I'm just getting tired of seeing the squad get smaller and smaller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Daily Mail Paul Robinson has agreed to end his nightmare at Tottenham by signing for Paul Ince's Blackburn. The former England No1 will join Rovers in a £3.5m deal as he looks to resurrect his career and regain his England spot following a miserable 12 months for club and country. Rover and out: Paul Robinson has ended his four-year spell at Tottenham by signing for Blackburn. The ex-Leeds keeper, 28, will replace Brad Friedel at Ewood Park as Blackburn have accepted Aston Villa's £2.75m offer for the American veteran. Ince was keen to keep Friedel, 37, but Blackburn could not compete with Villa's offer of a three-year deal that will double his wages. Robinson's move from north London to Lancashire is not believed to be linked in any way to David Bentley's proposed switch in the opposite direction, although Spurs are still confident of agreeing a deal for the England midfielder.

Guest Petay Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Am I in the minority who would be massively pissed off by this? How fickle you are, he's been a legend for several years, totally ignoring the overtures of other clubs and conducting himself with a dignity rarely seen in today's game (you need think no further than one £120,000 a week player comparing himself to someone who was force to work for no pay in often brutal conditions).

Ketsbaia Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 cannot believe that people are turning on given now. he's had a few great seasons followed by one below-par one. i'd say give him a chance but he's got nothing to prove. still one of the best in the premiership.

midds Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 cannot believe that people are turning on given now. he's had a few great seasons followed by one below-par one. i'd say give him a chance but he's got nothing to prove. still one of the best in the premiership. I don't think anyone's 'turning on him' - more some are saying he's not as good as he was and if the deal is good enough, they'd be willing to cash in on him. I'd be quite happy to keep him here if the bid was shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LucaAltieri Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah 'only one bad season'... but if he has a stinker next season who will be the first to say "we should have taken that Blackburn bid when we had the chance"? Given isn't going to get any better at this stage, it's only downhill from here. If we've got cover and the bid is good enough then he's certainly a player we need to replace sooner or later. If we leave it too late then it will cause problems a la Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It isn't one bad season though is it? He's been shite since he got clattered by Harewood and he came back from that injury in November 2006. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Petay Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 HE IS A KEEPER, not a striker, not a pacy attacking midfielder, he's got more than a couple of good sesons in him yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would agree, wouldn't be too bothered if he went, best days are behind him. usually with keepers their best days start in their mid 30`s and Given has just turned 32. Agree though, I wouldn:t be arsed if he was sold. Hopefully he doesnt walk straight back in to the first XI like he did in the past (or he`ll throw a tantrum) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
