Parsley Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Tbh if i could pick, i'd prefer to see him go to Celtic. Guaranteed success, Champions League football too, and it's the club he supports as far as i know. Means we don't have to play against him n'all, he wouldn't be improving a direct rival. Celtic don't really need to spend £8m+ on a new keeper when they have Boruc though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 City and Spurs are better prospects because they aren't hanging on by as weary a thread as we are. I don't think we'll go down but we still might, them two though, it's never going to happen. And as someone's said, as disappointing for football as it is, City have stacks of potential given the financial muscle they boast (that said, they'll go fucking nowhere fast spending £15m on the likes of Wayne Bridge). No Given doens't directly say that he sees them as better opportunities of success, but you'd have to be bloody daft if you think Joe Kinnear's Newcastle represents a better career prospect.

Citeh for obvious reasons and Spurs might be in the doldrums at the moment but they have no intention of staying there. Our intentions are to stay exactly where we are - maintain Premiership status on a shoestring and coin it in from Sky and the stupid Geordies.

Wallace Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well if he goes, he will want to be guaranteed to be the number one as he will not be content to sit on the bench. Not sure what Spurs plan to do with Gomes as I think he has been playing better of late. Isn't it awful, when you see everyone outside of NUFC say that he deserves better than us? I think if he goes, it will depress me more than any other player leaving because I think it makes it apparent that the club is going downhill fast and that he has no confidence that things will improve in the near future. No amount of spin from the club could disguise that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samag Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 How depressing that he clearly feels 16th-placed Tottenham and 13th-placed Manchester City are better prospects than us. What part of the statement does he clearly state that? I think it Arsenal that he sees as better prospects. 'Having served the club loyally for over 11 years, Shay feels compelled to consider his position in the light of the interest being expressed in him by Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham.' Why on earth would they be mentioned if he didn't feel all three were interesting him? I'm pretty sure Blyth would have him but he doesn't go on mentioning them. The are quotes from his lawyer/agent. Not Shay himself These clubs may be the ones that may have enquired about him. At no point does he say that he thinks they are better prospects. The statement could also mean his agent is trying to work things in his favour so Shay ends up been offered a better deal.

Oh get a grip man, get stuffed calling me a tosser n'all, you tell me off for being patronising yet you go on like a little kid. I wasn't being patronising in the slightest btw, not at all - my view is balanced cos i think the mess we are in is a joint effort from all those involved. I wish i agreed with you because i love Kevin Keegan, but it's a bunch of power-hungry blokes who couldn't - wait, wouldn't - work together which is why we're in this shit. I bet Keegan had a pretty rough idea of the shite we'd fall into if he left - he left for himself, not for the good of anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 We're sh*t - and Shay's sick of it Potentially explosive quotes from the agent of Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given have emerged, which prove that it's not just the fans who look at the state of this club in 2009 with dismay. And the statement from John Kennedy also confirms recent media reports that three other named Premier League clubs are looking to sign him this month: "Shay is very despondent following the very poor performance of the team against Liverpool last weekend. It was the lowest point of his football career and a performance that he would not wish to be repeated. "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. "Having served the club loyally for over eleven years, Shay feels compelled to consider his position in the light of the interest being expressed in him by Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham." We've run a feature before transfer windows since 2006, highlighting Given's regular pleas for action to combat the recurring issues of squad size and quality. Now it seems as if he's grown tired of repeating himself and seeing no action to back up the promises made to him by the previous administration. And the events of the previous transfer window are also significant, ending as it did with some inexplicable signings, equally mystifying failures to bolster in key areas, a claim that offers had been invited for the whole squad - and of course the still-to-be-explained demise of Kevin Keegan. Comparing Kennedy's statement with Joe Kinnear's latest Given-related quotes below also looks to show a massive difference between the manager's perception of the situation and the reality of the SJP dressing room. JFK on Shay: "There is no problem there.. He's very happy here, he's very comfortable at Newcastle United. "He won't be leaving - he has no interest in that whatsoever. He loves the football club - he's part of the city and that suits us because he's a world-class goalkeeper. "Shay's performance against Liverpool was brilliant and that got picked up on. But ask the Geordie fans and I think they already knew how good he is. They know their football, so to be one of their favourites says it all about how good he is. He's the best goalkeeper in the Premier League by a mile." Depending on your viewpoint, the statement can be seen either as an attempt to flush out bids for his services without submitting a transfer request - or an expression of exasperation from someone as mystified as the rest of us as to exactly what the **** is going on @ SJP. Like the departure of Peter Beardsley to Liverpool in 1987, we would struggle to blame Given if he left. It certainly wouldn't be for the money and any anger felt would be aimed at the club, rather than the individual. Putting the sentiment of a player within sight of the all-time appearance record leaving aside though, Shay's position is one of the few where we have genuine cover. The unpalatable reality of our current position may be that he has to be sacrificed in order to generate funds to plug the gaps in the side he's so regularly highlighted. Knowing our past record though, we're far more likely to spunk the lolly away on another exotic import from the Spanish League that little Dennis thinks is a top geezer.
