Optimistic Nut Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Can we f*** off with the boring board bollocks? Take it to PM, or to your shitty little thread, or preferably, take it as far away from my eyes as you can physically f***ing get it. It's boring, s***, dull... Basically: not very interesting. It is like reading the stock market. Every minute of the day. And then reading it again just for kicks. It is s***. It is repetetive. It is f***ing eye-bleedingly irritating and mind-numbingly, head-fuckingly frustrating. Literally nobody else on the forum cares. Nobody else in the world for that matter. Seriously. Just f*** off with it. Thanks. Why don't you tell us why you think Given - and Owen probably - will leave the club then Andy ? This is a quote from Jenas when he left Newcastle. This is a great move for me. I am aiming to win things and with the players already at the club I am sure I can realise this ambition." Obviously he didn't see us winning honours under the old regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 NE5, Mick etc. We do not care. Care we do not. Not care we do. Go and find a post in this thread which I've made and isn't about Given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I wish he would stay, however he has earned the right to leave more than any other player at the club. He's give us 11 years of his fantastic goal keeping abilities. Since Sir Bobby Robson was sacked we have been going downhill and it maybe 5 years (or more) before European football is brought back to SJP. He is a top keeper and I can respect his wish to want to be a at a club where he may win something in the next few years. His request to leave sums up the mess which the club has got it self in to last summer. The fee should be £10m though. He is good enough to command that price. If he goes I'd prefer we made Harper our 1st choice keeper with Krul taking Harpers role. We need all the transfer money we can get to spend on outfield players than to have to spend on a new keeper. Harper is good enough to be first choice here, even if only until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 so you're still happy that the good old days have returned and you're not being embarrassed anymore ? Oh, it takes me right back to Pop Robson, and even worse Gazza, Beardsley and Waddle. There's probably more on the way too. Things were never this good in the good old days were they ? Never mind, the club will be run "responsibly" and we won't have any trophy signings, or debts [or do we ?] Nice one, change the argument because you're struggling again.

Dave Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Can we bank on Harper signing a new contract btw? Sure, he might get the place he's always wanted but he might have had the nod from another club already and if Shay's comments are symptomatic of the feeling within the entire group he may decide to leave too.

Thespence Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Fairplay to him but if he wants out then lets see a transfer request handed in then. Harper can see it through till the seasons end & hopefully he will sign a deal. If Harper does not renew then we have to be as bold as Kenny D was in giving Shay his chance & play either Tim or Fraser. Tim has a lot more senior appearance than Fraser so atm in time I would plump for Tim. Below that level we have Ole, Max & Jak all really promising goalkeepers.

NE5 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 My position is clear. If you want to take it to PM, I'll happily do so. part of Givens quote ‘When he signed a new five-year contract in 2006 it was on the basis that the club would challenge for major honours, but on the present evidence all that he can see ahead with the turmoil on and off the pitch is a battle for survival." Pm me about it if you like, but I can't see the point. This, in my opinion, is what this is all about, however you and one or two others might wish to deny it.

Problem as usual with you is you can't bring yourself to admit that you're hopelessly wrong, so won't reply. I'll leave it there with you, other than to say I wonder who has noticed that you refuse to reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I personally think Man City have shown the filthy lucre that will be all his if / when he joins. He'll likely double his wage and at his age it's an opportunity that he (or few others) would turn down. Using our lack of ambition (although very true) as his excuse is his get of jail card. I'd think more of him if he came out and said City made him an offer he couldn't refuse. It makes getting Harpers deal sorted a top priority. He might even be talking to other Clubs as of yesterday. So we might lose him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think shay is a good measure of the current climate of the club, he has always been pretty level headed and been a good pro. For him to really consider his future the club must be in a right f***ing mess. Howay then ashley, lets have some f***ing words from you or one of your bitches about one of the best keepers in the league considering his future with us..............

I'd hope a first team spot with increased wages to reflect a first team player would boost our chances. But as you say, if the players really are confused and disillusioned with the way things are run at the top of the club, perhaps he will leave... I think he'd stay if he become first choice keeper personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my personal opinion that the recruitment team want, and have always wanted Mariano Andujar at number one, with the money for Given funding some other player. Sell Andujar on when his reputation goes up, making a tidy profit and then promote Krul/Forster/Soderberg/Johnson/Alnwick, before selling him on for the next prospect/cheap Argie. Repeat ad infinitum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you must have missed 90% of this thread strongly criticising Ashley's regime for this. It should be like a wet dream for you, but instead you just prattle on about Freddy fucking Shepherd. The two are mutually exclusive. Do you even know what that phrase means? In fact don't reply, look it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Very disappointing. Not the end of the world though, great shot stopper but average in all other departments.

I always find that amusing when people say that about keepers, it makes it sound like some keepers get picked regardless of poor shot stopping but world class goalkeeper kicks.
