maze Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He's switched clubs. I don't follow City. I don't care about any other team in the EPL than Newcastle. I still wish him the best of luck. On a side note... when Ashley is out or remember the pin code to his VISA card... we'll get Buffon or Akinfeev , at least we are not competing with City about those two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm just extremely bitter at the moment and pretty gutted about Shay leaving us, I'll come around one day though and will give Shay his due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thought this worthwhile of a bump as it has now come out (from Llambias at the Supporter's Panel meeting) that the fee we received for Shay Given was £5.9m. Let the moaning commence. (Probably justified, to be honest.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Disgusting fee tbh, City are a bunch of cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Really shouldn't have sold him at that price IMO, should have put him on the bench or in the reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 We cant even hold the worlds richest club to ransom for a decent fee for our best player. So fuck if he wanted to go, better an unhappy Given going for what he's worth at another time than selling him for peanuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I cant even be bothered with this anymore actually, who gives a fuck about Given, we have bigger problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Given is a cunt end of. Whinged his way to being sold on the cheap; this included refusing to play for our club. How anyone has any respect left for him is beyond me. Couldn't have left at a worse time, the fee couldn't be much worse. Can only wish him the worst.

Guest The Libertine Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 given hardly helped tbf. begging to leave and practically forcing us to sell him for whatever price was offered. this is probably the only outgoing player who we've not got a fair or generous price for.

thomas Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Not sure I understand the criticism concerning not holding Manchester City to ransom over him. Keeping him on on whatever wages, upset and rotting in the reserves and not knowing who (if anyone) was going to come knocking in the summer or beyond seems a huge risk. Getting what was gettable and him out the door still seems like the smarter move. But eh, he's moved on and I'll try to too. Agree with others that the way he went about it deserves no excuses and really lowered my opinion of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more the ability to hold onto your best players regardless of what they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellamy wanted out, Man City knew that as well, yet West Ham robbed them blind, £15 million for that old waster. You've also got to remember that as a club we owed a lot more to Given than Spurs did to Berbs or West ham to Bellamy. For all the years of loyal service he'd given to the club he had to be allowed to leave if he wanted to, and therefore to even get £6 million is pretty good. On another point I'm still shocked and disgusted at the number of you who are willing to abuse Given, he is still and always will be a legend in my eyes. He eventually got fed up with the turmoil at the club, but who wouldn't have, I'm amazed he stayed with us as long as he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc1892 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 if we had competent people in charge over the transfer of Shay Given who knew how to make business and knew the real value of what they were selling we could easily and we should had sold Shay Given for at least £10m. The Given transfer=Really bad transfer business imo Who is runing the outgoing transfer negotiations at our club btw? Wise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Given in the end felt like he owed us nothing, cannot see why people think we owed him anything either. Some people just won't admit he treat us like shit over his move to Citeh, you are like battered wives...oh but i love him, he didn't mean it...its not his fault...he's depressed and unhappy.
