dustynrg Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 As for Given, the bloke can f*** off Yeah I mean whats 11 years like Christ on a bike, he wasn't chained to the goalposts and fed bread and water, he's going now because Man City have offered him 100k a week, if they had been in a similar position 5 years ago and offered him 100k a week do you really think he would have stayed so long? Would he have stayed so long if Man U came in for him just because he loved the North East and the people bla bla? Us fans have got a hell of a lot more to put up with than Given ever had. I don't get the sympathy, he wanted out when they offered him megabucks, end of. All this bleedin heart stuff is just that. Bleedin heart guff.

themanupstairs Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Given wont break the appearance record then, how many games short is he? I love Given and he has been a great servant and top class keeper, but his image has been slightly tarnished for me by leaving in January and releasing that letter through his lawyer. I would of liked him to stick it out until the end of the season, see where we are and go from their. More tarnished than him faking injury so he didn't have to play against City? He didnt fake injury did he? I thought that was the "officila" line that clubs give. officila club lines are a right bastard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It's getting to the point when we won't be able to spend the Shay money, we need to get some players in exchange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, hold ut for a very good swap deal or keep him, if they are desperate they will do it or they can fk off. Richards and Johnson straight swap maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 looking at the man city squad, i'd have any of these players as part of some sort of combo deal involving £ too, to help strengthen the squad as a whole/provide cover richards, onouah, johnson, benjani, vassell or even michael ball at LB.

Skirge Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Swap for Elano maybe, its to late for the cash to come in handy, so pay a lot of sort out a swap, I am happy we are standing firm though City need to learn a lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 One thing we can say about the club at the moment is that they seem to be good at extracting the most money for players. The Milner sale was a good example. (Obviously I delete this if the final fee is £5m!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Given has tarnished his reputation in my eyes. Loyal, massively well paid servant that he has been, he was always happy to sign those new contracts. If he wanted out he should have handed in an official transfer request before the transfer window opened not two days before it closes. Using his lawyer to voice his wish to leave was very bad form. I hope Newcastle wait until February the 2nd before selling him. Make the bastards at Man City sweat. They've been happy to pay way over the odds for other players yet won't even offer a fair price for Given? I don't begrudge Given wanting to leave. I do begrudge the methods he has employed to engineer the move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I wish City would hurry up and give us a ludicrous amount of money so we can go and get some fullbacks. Still not content with the central midfielders either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
