Are We Being Serious ,...Looking for Players..

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.

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.

[oldcolner]

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.

was that meant to be funny Turf.


Because it is.....

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.

The bet a lot on Bamford in January didn't they. Looks like he could be on the bench ... or even off again.
