Quotemoney talks and bullsh-t walksOriginally Posted by brine3
Look at Brad Friedel, hes 39. Shay should still be aiming for another 4-5 years at the top. I get the feeling we will be looking by at Shays career with a sense of unfulfillment.
Re Macedonia game, I think would probably stick with Shay but would like to see WW get the nod in the Nations cup games.
money talks and bullsh-t walks
Given really needs to move soon, but maybe with VDS retiring at end of the season he is waiting for the Man Utd #1 jersey
Out of interest how has Westwood been playing this season? (I haven't really been following him this season)
"U've figured how to work the Google on the internet machine"
Isn't the main problem Man C don't want to sell to a Prem rival? Sounds like it's Celtic or Italy.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Nobody is willing to pay his massive wages.
Hart's just gifted Leicester an equaliser. Shay will like that.
Won't make any odds though, far too few mistakes for my liking...
Surely Shay could be given the start in whatever cup run they may have and particularly after Harts error yday.
Rumours abound he is still looking for an Italy move, with Andrew Lonergan linked as his replacement if he leaves!!

Manchester City tell Shay Given he can leave once replacement is found: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...anchester-city
Given's desire is to go out on loan and Mancini confirmed the club are looking at potential replacements, with Coventry City's Keiren Westwood, a former City reserve and now Given's understudy for the Republic of Ireland national team, among the options
Given now 5/4 to join Leicester on Skybet. It might happen as I would suggest very few teams if any in the Premiership will match his City wages. He might have to drop down a division if he wants to get playing time or move to Celtic if he wants to stay on the money he currently gets.
Are Man City intent on ruining Irish goalies!
Could be an opening here for Shay to get back his No1 Jersey at City. Sounds like Hart is one howler away from being dropped. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...odgy-Hart.html

Can't see it myself. It's a rouse to give false hope to Given keeping him in situ until the end of the season, while firing a shot across Hart's bow. Surely if he was serious he would have given Shay a run out in the FA Cup?
Has Hart been poor this season for City, or only the past few games?
I said at the start of the season that you would have to feel sorry for Shay. The way he played for City last season there was no way he should have lost the jersey, but that the decision was probably right for City in the long term as they have a fantastic asset on their hands in Hart, who potentially has another 15 years at the top level.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Long term and Man City. I'm not too sure about that one.
Alvin Rouse? Thought he was with Longford meself...
Mancini said something again this morning about his worry of the goals conceded and the concentration levels (didn't mention Hart by name).. Might get Given a recall. Might also sway him from his comittment to leave (a bad thing). He should still get out of there in my opinion... Hard to think of an ideal destination in the EPL though...
Do you think it might be a ploy to keep hart on his toes and give false hope to given(the transfer window and what mancini has recently said)?that's what it smells like to me.
Unless of course its a way of dropping hart legitimately and reinstating given.
To be honest i'd agree with you Paul. This comes a week after city said they wouldnt let Given go until a replacement was found
Reading between the lines it sounds like a stalling tactic all right to keep Given at City. Given can't get his game in a fairly meaningless FA cup tie so he has to get away from City.
