Wouldn't mind betting SWP will go there too.

Swap deal Given, SWP and Bridge for Albrighton! Would help with are homegrown quota and he's a promssing winger that's for sure. 3 for 1 and net wage reduction for circa £200,000 a week. That's £10mill a year of the wage bill!

They do need a left back winger and GK

Hope not. Given would need replacing, and it will be very hard to ring in a keeper of such quality. But Given deserves regular football. One of those players who gets universal respect from every football fan, and has so much left to offer. I think we should have given him more games last season even though Hart justified being No. 1

I don't have a problem with this BUT the club have told given and Milner they are not leaving by all accounts.

He is too good to not be playing and 90k a week wages for a reserve keeper is daft.

How is getting rid of three HG players and only getting one back a better deal for HG status than only giving one away for zero?

I think you have answered your own question there

For Given's sake i hope he gets his move. Shouldn't be on any bench, including ours.

If we can get 4M for him we should do the deal.

I hate this idea that Given "deserves" to play regular football. He is a professional player. He is in it for the money. He is living a good life and if he is unhappy he can buy his way out of his contract, get a job (if he can't already afford to never work again) and join an amateur team where he can play for the fun of it. Or join the company 5 a side twice a week for his new company. Or go down the park with his kids and knock a few balls about.

They guy signed a contract. He is no pity and I'll be disgusted with the club if they let him go for a major loss (and need to find replacement for gazillions).

If folk want to pity folk in football, pity the kids who are let go 'cos they can't make it or those with no clubs this window.
