They both deserve and need to be playing first team football now, it could bite us on the arse but it would be a classy thing to do IMO.

I've got a funny feeling Shay will be his number 1. I hope not thoughProject said:The idea of shipping him out to Arsenal is quite frankly ludicrous. We should not be solving our competitors problems.
I understand Shay's position to a certain extent though. At his age, every season must seem more important - kind of like knowing you only have a set period of time to live and thus want to make the most of it. Sitting on the bench is obviously the opposite.
I always felt though that in starting Joe first in all the friendlies, despite giving them 45 minutes each, Mancini had already made up his mind as to who his number one is. I think Shay knows it too.

"You would, great."

"Tomorrow, perfect see you then."
Nah no chance, Real and Jose won't let him go, he's key to their plans.Thatchersforearm said:fbloke said:"Iker, how would you like to play for CIty?"

It was the Valencia game that convinced me. That was clearly Mancinis first choice outfield that started so why make an exception with the keeper? Shay is fit. If he was no. 1 he would have started.
I hope so. Hart is only going to get better getting more game time with a solid defence in front of him. Given is a world class shot stopper and poor at everything else.

Yes but Given has only been fully fit for a few weeks and even then came on for him in the second half of most games.leewill31 said:Project said:It was the Valencia game that convinced me.

this has been my opinion and hart has all so started most if not all pre season games only a presumption but id say hart is no.1

Given wont want to sit on the bench because purely he's only a handful of years left and he shouldn't be blamed for wanting game time.
hart should have patience to sit on the bench, but he thinks he better than he is, and has moaned to the media countless times.
Given's a very popular player in the dressing room and I can't see many being pleased with him being moved. Not to mention he's vice captain.
Ya..no quotes. I wont hold my breath. There are no quotes and people think that it's true..and Arsenal really..ya I can see that happening. I mean it's not like RTE to pick up something like this, but I wont hold my breath till I see it for myself. Doesn't seem likely though, especially Arsenal, that's ridiculous.
