Not a fan, never have been good shot stopper and nothing more. I don't want any more City cast off's (other than Milner) especially one of that age who has spent a year sat on his ass.
Neither would I be impressed at that fee for him.
To conclude, no thanks.
5 mil and £85k p/w? No thank you.
Glad it's not just me that thinks he's actually not that amazingly superb as many think.
This would be shocking business of true.
That's just the first page of a 54 page thread.
A random page later in the thread, just to be sure.
Id rather sign Foster.
Foster is a good call too. But will blow about £10m. Is he really that much better than Gilks too?
Why are we not picking up David James? Easily as fit (and as good as Freidel is!) and available for a song.
Given WAS a good keeper, but was a player we should have been signing ten years ago!!!
Its just not good economics!
FFS Given is the best keeper we can get!

Shay's been excellent for us, and has shown admirable loyalty despite spending last season on the bench. Best of luck, bud!
