Séamus John James "Shay" Given (born 20 April 1976) is an Irish professional footballer.
So he's 41 not 45 and he's Irish .... and could help improve Pope.
Just really fed up, with all our messing about,..Re Signing players..
Garlick, has said we would be improving our squad,....!!!..Hell I beg to differ..
The latest link,..A 45 year old goalkeeper for fs..!!
With sales out,..Plus signings ,....We haven"t spent anything yet!!
We were supposed to have a 30 million + transfer budget,...+ 25 MILLION FOR KEANE,...And we look for a 45 year old goalkeeper !!FFS..
Some Questions really need to be asked, with our Chairman, Yes I Know the training ground, cost money,..But Come on Mr Garlick,...This might be our last chance...Please make the most of it!!

Stiff opposition from the championship does not help..
Well, if we kick off with our current squad - plus a top notch central defender - then I will be very happy.
We have six weeks to find him.
I'm not worried at all.
He won't be expensive and we need a third keeper just in case.
It is unlikely that Given will get many opportunities to add to his 451 Premier League appearances. He only made five appearances at Stoke City last season and totalled 19 saves. But it is the experience that will be a valuable asset for Dyche to have around on the training field.

Boro are throwing the ranch at it in a bid for promotion. We did the right thing on not persuing it any further imo. They are paying mercedes prices for austin montegos. Promotion is a must win for them or they will be in deep sh!t. We really did not need to take the gamble.. All we have done is make boro pay through the &rse for a player we don't really need..
.
fact remains Turf.....we wanted him - but seemingly they have him.
....and agreed - we need to raise the bar - show the's PL teams we mean business.
