Mistle17 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Harper deserves a testimonial as well. Why dont they just call 'testimonials' 'testies'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not overly bothered to be honest, good keeper, has put in a good shift for the the club and has moved on. We're not significantly weaker by his loss, hopefully the money will be spent well, we could have a more influential outfield player through the sale of Shay, which is what we're crying out for (as well as a good manager).

Crumpy Gunt Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Sad to see this actually happen, despite knowing full well for the last few weeks that it was coming... He's been unhappy with our direction for the last few years, and has been very vocal about it. He obviously had enough, and I can't argue with his decision to want to move on. The only thing that pisses me off is the manner in which it happened. Our hand seems to have been forced into selling our prize asset for (reportedly) much less than I thought we should value him at. Shay actions (through those of his agent) have been very unprofessional, and I've lost a bit of respect for him as a result. It'll fucking hurt seeing him playing in a Man City shirt... He's a money greedy cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guinness_fiend Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 newcastle have refused him a testimonial as part of the deal...........s*** move on their behalf Sick To be frank, he doesn't deserve one if he asked to move. He could have waited until the summer and possibly kept us in the Premiership, at which point no sane Toon fan would have any issues with him wanting to better himself, but he was blinded by greed and self-preservation and decided to jump ship. Thanks Shay for all of your hard work over the years, but you have deserted us at a time where we desperately need stability, so I wish you all the best ensuring that Manchester City stay in the Premiership, which is not guaranteed by any means, given that they are only four points ahead of us at the moment.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 newcastle have refused him a testimonial as part of the deal...........shit move on their behalf Good. He's coined enough over the last few weeks and then refused to play Wednesday night in an arrogant attempt to force the club's hand. Well done to them for holding out & forcing the transfer transfer request. Doesn't deserve a testimonial after the last month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Wasn't Given offered a testimonial when he'd been here 10 years? I think he was but he didn't want it then. Who'd go to a testimonial for a player of a rival club? If you're that bothered just donate some money to Macmillan Nurses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If there's question marks about his medical, I'd imagine it's £6m up front with appearances clauses, which is fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It can't be £6m. Kinnear called the £5m bid 'an insult', and an extra million is too close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to them for holding out & forcing the transfer transfer request. Doesn't deserve a testimonial after the last month. Within the last 6 months, what ever is going on in the background of this club, it has forced (probably not the word), 2 people in KK and Shay, to act in a way which we probably wouldnt expect - in terms of how it affects the fans. Heavens knows why they acted in a way that comes across like they want to shaft the club big style and forgets the fans reactions/feelings. Cant be good.

Both have seen the writing on the wall, for Given it's been there for a while. This club isn't going anywhere for a long time, theres not much Ashley can put in the club (I'm not aware of how his money is broken up and how much is available to him now to spend).. maybe once we get the high earners off the wage ball and build up a nice bit profit (how many top flight clubs have no debt and make a healthy profit?) then we can maybe splash out a bit. Given will be entering his twilight years by the time that happens though I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm upset, I'm not gonna deny that. But can't feel should he have wanted to pack in, there were 1001 better ways to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
