henke Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Didn't he come out of international retirement in the hope he could get a game? I say it all the time but i bet he wishes he stayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This should serve as a reminder to a lot of players when clubs like City and Chelsea are interested. You end up at Villa and get £5 million in fuck off early money. Scott Sinclair is currently hoping for this. Struggling to see the lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Cowardly, Sinking ship deserting rat. Colo tried to do exactly the same with far more responsibilities. He's still here only because nobody was prepared to offer any money for him. Shay's a top bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If it's gonna cost that much to get rid of him, why not just keep him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If it's gonna cost that much to get rid of him, why not just keep him? Aye...or loan him out. If its about wages, surely if he wants to play so badly, he'd take a cut for game time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 A man of his age would be a little silly to give up such wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 They need a 2nd choice keeper and it's gonna cost them £5m to get rid of Shay plus whatever it takes in wages and transfer to get another guy in. Even if they have a reserve team player waiting it'll still cost them £5m to promote him to number two. I'd just heep Shay, give him a job on reception or something.

Even if they have a reserve team player waiting it'll still cost them £5m to promote him to number two. I'd just heep Shay, give him a job on reception or something. It is obviously going to cost more to keep him. If he's on 60k a week and has three years left (thanks, McFuck, you fucking fuck) then that's pretty straightforward maths.

Decky Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Still a club legend imo. I can't really blame him for leaving, no matter how pissed off I was at the time. The club was on an obvious decline and had Joe fucking Kinnear as manager. Given was at a stage in his career when he had just about one last chance to achieve something and he took the gamble, to a club that was clearly on the road to winning silverware too. I find it ridiculous how so many hold Given's departure against him yet have a lot of time for other players who left us, all of which didn't give a fraction of what Given gave to this club. I definitely wouldn't take him back, not unless we were stuck and he was on about 10k a week. But to hate the guy after everything he gave to us is very harsh imo.

Guest Nixon Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hindsights a cruel one. He probably wishes he stayed but he made a career decision to go. Sign of the times that this season only Hull City offered him a route out of Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hindsights a cruel one. He probably wishes he stayed but he made a career decision to go. Now he's being forced to decide if he wants to join Hull City on loan in the Championship. That'd be a neat trick, dude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he manufactured his move was a touch insensitive but I don't resent him for leaving. He could have gone at any point in his 9 (?) years here.

I know footballers don't have any loyalty, but then how can they be praised or called legends? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
