thomas Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Given has in fact failed his medical due to a knee injury, he actually had it twice this afternoon - from what i have heard Man City have turned there attention to Robert Green or a reduced amount of £3m for Given, my friend works at the Sports Technical Injury Centre in Manchester, the deal looks unlikely to happen now, but I believe it did involve a player from City. Yeah, brilliant. Man City have confirmed it is completed. Yep, just saw it. http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pageid=115&pagegid={DBD12D53-8346-431D-A04F-5D0F8664DE80}&newsid=6626298&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=&frommonth=12&fromyear=2008&tomonth=2&toyear=2009 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Manchester City FC are delighted to announce the signing of Shay Given from Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee. The 32-year-old goalkeeper has put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half year contract, and he moves back to the north-west where he started his Premier League career with Blackburn Rovers in 1994. Unable to dislodge Tim Flowers at Ewood Park, Shay impressed in loan spells at Swindon Town and Sunderland before Kenny Dalglish, who had brought him to Rovers from Celtic, signed him for the Magpies. Shay made over 450 appearances, including 354 Premier League starts, during a distinguished Newcastle career and he has amassed 91 caps for the Republic of Ireland to become the most capped Irish international goalkeeper. That makes it four signings during the January transfer window for City, with Shay following in the footsteps of Wayne Bridge, Craig Bellamy and Nigel de Jong. We will have reaction from Mark Hughes and Shay Given later on today. http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pageid=115&pagegid={DBD12D53-8346-431D-A04F-5D0F8664DE80}&newsid=6626298&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=&frommonth=12&fromyear=2008&tomonth=2&toyear=2009 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pont-toon Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 From the mirror journo on the Blackburn forum; A top move is in jeopardy because a leading player has failed a medical. The buying club don't know whether to press on or drop the idea. The selling club need to sell to get money for a striker. The striker they want is at a club who need to sell him...to bid for a Rovers player. That is how stupid the market is at this time. I won't name the player...it's possible the move will happen on a 'staged payments' tomorrow. Given - Bent - Santa Cruz ? is that the dood that reckons once Given signs for Citeh it will spark Bent to Toon, Santa Cruz to Spuds and then Crouch to Blackburn canny tall story that one !!!! we'll find out now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hope we have already opened negotiations with potential players, I'm not sure how much can be done between now and 5pm tomorrow. I'm hoping we have at least £10m to play with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
