Dinho lad Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 the best keeper we've ever had, a man who has kept his trap shut when all around were mouthing off and a great servant of the club but HTT thinks he can "f*** off" and you ask me what is wrong with football and NUFC today............... I recognise all that, but he can still f*** off. I'm taking a hardline stance where players are concerned now. Don't want to play for my club? Then f*** off, go, good riddance. Doesn't matter who they are and what they have done here or why they want out. When you decide you want out of my club, you're a deserter in my eyes now. Especially in the manner in which Shay left. If things were so bad for him here he should have handed in a transfer request the day he stopped wanting to be here. But it appears the small matter of a loyalty bonus was just as important and for that he can f*** off. I hope his career goes down hill and he fails spectacularly at Man City. I'd piss myself laughing if they spent huge money on Buffon and he ended up as number 2. Fingers crossed. Me, bitter? Damn right! Can I ask what's your opinion of Keegan?

KK was forced out, Given wasn't. Shay tried to hang around despite wanting out in order to get a bonus, KK when he wanted out, he went there and then. Not that the two are comparable.

KK didn't agree with the direction the club was taking so he walked (twice!).....the same as Given. Shay tried to hang around despite wanting out in order to get a bonus Eh? KK when he wanted out, he went there and then Rubbish, again. Dissagreements between KK and the board were going on before the day he resigned. This is proven by his speeding offence reports that came out the other day. Not that the two are comparable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 yup, especially with #37 on the back! he's definitely been the best we've had but we've all left shitty jobs in the past too. still didn't want him to leave like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grief equation: Club situation x player ability - transfer fee = Grief Relegation battle (+ winter window) x European class keeper - shitty measly transfer fee = SERIOUS AMOUNTS OF FUKING GRIEF!!!!

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.

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...

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...
