toontownman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Will be hacked off if we cant get Johnson or Onouha on in exchange. Its as big as selling Cole was at the time, I'd hope we act similarly in putting a gentelmans agreement not to play given against us next week. Despite the disapointment I still believe we will do fine without Given. The money or players we get will be vital. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_4823209,00.html Sky reckon we could get both, I actually hope it happens. We should be keeping our best players but maybe its time to start afresh for Given as well as us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the disapointment I still believe we will do fine without Given. The money or players we get will be vital. Nothing like as big as selling Cole - we were a major force in the Prem at the time, and selling our top striker to our main rivals....the difference was that KK had plans to sign both Les Ferdinand and Shearer later on...we have no chance of pulling off similar incoming transfers in the case of Given leaving ; the other big differences in this case are that the player is desperate to leave, whereas Cole wasn't - he didn't know anything about the transfer until KK told him, and in Given's case, we have an adequate replacement already. This sale is being forced on the club because it is a declining outfit whose best players want to be away - when Cole went, it was because the club was intent on improving the squad and getting into a position to challenge Man U even harder, which it did within a year...can you see NUFC being in a much better position in a year..?? And also, if we get cash & not players, it will be hard to attract decent players to join the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 if he does go we have some decent backup options already but not in Shay`s class. Ben Foster and Cudicini might be worth bids for if we do end up in the market (probably not at this rate) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 i love given and regard him as one of the best goalies in the world.....but if we are offered 15 mill by city i could accept he left. We have harper and krul plus other youngsters! Also kameni is looking for a move to england apparently.....he used to be excellent and seems to be very cheap! kameni plus 10 mill....not the worst deal eventhough given is absolutely top class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Whilst ridiculing city's offer of £5m, perhaps we should consider why they are making such a low bid! We are both in danger of slipping into the bottom three. If they give us £15m for Given we have a ready replacement in Harper and will be able to use the cash to strengthen our side (I hope) and maybe pull away from the relegation zone which could make it more difficult for them to climb the table, so that may well be the reasoning behind their ludicrously low bids.

Ash Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Revised offer of 5m? Piss-taking wankers. Very much so. If they're prepared to pay £14m for Craig fucking Bellamy, they can stump up more than £5m for Shay Given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just might be too, as there is no way they would even dare to offer £5 million cash straight up. Why not? It's worth a go, he is 33 after all. My concern is that by the time they up it to closer to £8m for which we'll sell IMO, we'll be left with too little time to spend it as happened with the Milner money before the last window closed.

KaKa Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Barry Silkman, the agent, was on SSN lunchtime suggesting Citeh had offered £7m and Newcastle wanted £12m. Wow. Interesting. Well if there is one thing no one can accuse Mike Ashley of, it is letting players go on the cheap. Every player sold under this regime has brought in more than I thought they would. For £12 million I would have to say bye bye Given. No point having the best goalie in the prem if your defence and midfield are dodgy. He'll make 5 odd world class saves a game only for us to lose 3 - 0 anyway! It's stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If they are really opposed to paying £12 million then maybe we can throw in Owen as well. Then go out and get someone with more of a presence upfront to play with Oba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
