Bid upped to 8m for Given
Are we happy with that ??
LONDON: Manchester City have upped their bid for Newcastle keeper Shay Given to £8mil.

Boss Mark Hughes had an offer of £5mil rejected out of hand by Toon chiefs who are desperate to keep their long-serving No 1.

Republic of Ireland international Given, who moved to St James’ Park in July 1997, still has two years to run on his Newcastle contract.

The unsettled stopper, 32, has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Tottenham.

Earlier this month, Given’s lawyer released a statement detailing the depth of his frustration with life on Tyneside. — The Sun, London

quality keeper

I think if we stick with Hart, in a few season he will be up there with the likes of Buffon and Casillas.

Fair enough he can learn of an experienced keeper, but for me there is no substitute for match experience.

The Sun just make stuff up so this is probably bollocks but I would be happy if we got Given.

That bid is more like it, unlike the lame first supposed bid

15m and they will sell. We need him.

Would be good to get Given - further learning for Hart who I am sure will become as good as Big Joe in time.

I'd happily take him for £10 - £12 million
