Shay Given

[Macky]

I know, just saying.

I know you know, I was just saying

 

[Jeff]

We still don't know whether or not Mancini has said any of that

I know he's said it.

Because I've watched the video here: http://mcfc.co.uk/Video/Interviews/Notts-County-v-City-Mancini-preview-II

Now that's a source

 

[DesertFox]

No, that's a sauce.

 

[DesertFox]

Ha! That's a problem with the source...

But, as I understand it, the 24 hour recall cannot be applied during the first month of the loan. That is why, even though Mancini is comfortable with that, the owners of Man City have put their foot down.

It can with a goalkeeper.

 

[Jeff]

Ha! That's a problem with the source...

Not any more.

 

[DesertFox]

Well done Jeff.

I've just had some of that BBQ sauce with a bit of chicken. It's absolutely delicious!

There's only one sauce to have with chicken. It's the only sauce that makes any sense and it's the only sauce that is anti-theist and anti-statist.

Lick my sauce you muthas

If given is a no go, what about Thomas Sorensen - played for Stoke today & saved a pen but Begovic is keeping him out otherwise?
contract must be nearly up aswell because Pulis wants him to pen another according to skysports.

 

[DesertFox]

If given is a no go

I understand that it's a given.










I'll get me coat.

From the BBC transfer deadline day thing.

0920: Can we honestly expect the transfer deadline to come and go without Leicester boss Sven-Goran Eriksson bolstering his squad? I doubt it. Whether he signs Shay Given from Man City is another question entirely.

If they get another keeper in they can sell given then though.

 

[fosseman]

I thought Given was more likely to go to Celtic than to City.

 

[sparky79]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he won't come to City. Why would he - there's no reason to, other than that we want him. Most other clubs in the prem would want him if he was available.

I'd say Shay is the better keeper, so to me this doesn't make sense unless SG departure is imminent.

We may be one of the few teams that have the ability(/are silly enough) to pay enough of his wages to sign him on loan.

Prem teams may want him but MC might not want to loan him to a team in the same league, situation is different if it's a sale but I think a loan is very unlikely to a Prem team.

we shouldn't do that on too many players. Sol Bamba has proven that there's value to be had in the market. If we did pay Given 50k a week of his wages we'd need to make sure that Waghorn went out on loan with Derby paying full wages for him to soften the blow. And if we don't get promoted then we are big time oot of pocket with some very frustrated owners and no Yak, Naughton, VA or Given to fall back on next year. It's a shit or bust strategy - i like it! (but as a naturally conservative chap, am scared of it!)
