Dinho lad Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You're claiming that Given has left us and it has nothing to do with money. That's clearly not true, otherwise he would have waited for a club who is more likely to win things but less likely to give him £120k a week. If he's the best in the league, surely the top 4 would want him? He left because NUFC are unlikely to be trophy challangers any time soon. (He's getting on a bit just incase you haven't noticed.) He left for Man City because from next season they will be aiming to win something. I don't give too flying monkies how much he's getting at City. And BTW, engineering a move to Arsenal? None of the top 4 or 5 clubs came in for him because they are clearly happy with their goalkeepers. So that leaves Man City as the best next thing. (Not bad for a club aiming to be the best in the world. ) Eh? Why the need to get personal? Because you're being an arse, as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Shay is just another football mercenary and what makes it all the more difficult to accept is that he is actually one of the good guys, a proper professional. Oh well, we move on. Thanks Shay. Now f*** off. What a load of tosh. He moved to Man City because they're way more ambitious than us. End of. The manner of his exit, the timing etc. he's just another mercenary, they all are at the end of the day. From now on I'll not be putting any stock in any of our players, Shay is the last straw. The timing of his exit? Sorry, but er... he was off well before today's game. And what's with the manner? He released a statement through his lawyer and get on with his football, unlike that french twat. He had to hand in a transfer request because time was running out.(dealine of transfer window) Man City are going places, we are not. Do you dispute that? This. Nowdays you gotta have cash to be ambitious. City had a good squad before the Arabs as well and probably had ambition of challenging the top4 one day, and with oil money, they can now actually walk the walk. Sad to say it, but if you want to break into the top4 without waiting 5 years for youngsters to break through, you gotta splash it. Thanks for the reminder actually. I totally forgot that. Well...that too refutes Shearergol's "Man City weren't ambitious until someone gave them an open cheque book" comment. Deary me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matta Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 so sad to see this happen, but for the money we are getting, at this point where it is very needed, perhaps it is the right time to part ways.

GM Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ah well. Hardly surprising you're leaving us now Shay, especially when you get dog's abuse for simply having reached your own breaking point.

Hardly surprising you're leaving us now Shay, especially when you get dog's abuse for simply having reached your own breaking point. You've been a valiant and reliable stalwart over some of the most difficult times of the past decade. All the best to you. Indeed. I wish him nothing but the best. He's been through some very shit times lately and it's no surprise that he wants to leave. There's nothing wrong with this decision even though he's professed his love for the club and the city many, many times. He's earnt our support whatever he does, to be honest.
