kyle09uk Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Maybe he will Given in the summr, isnt that when the sales of players adds to the balance sheets so by us loaning him until the end and then if we get promoted who knows he could be sold to us if not he'll move on to Celtic or wherever. Pointless them selling him.
dan77 Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Is given even going to go to Celtic? I think coming to Leicester would be a better choice! They currently have Fraser foster on loan from Newcastle (highly rated youngster), zaluska who is meant to be decent, they have been linked with keiron Westwood from cov. How many keepers do they want? If we don't get Given we should go for Westwood or vice versa! Because there not both going to go there! And let's face it if someone told me yakubu was going to sign for us at the beginning of the season I would of laughed in there face!! So anything can happen!!
sdb Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 OMG! Where'd you hear that?! Yakubu I could just about see happening, SWP sure, but Given? Just seems too much! God knows what happens if we don't go up this year (which is quite likely).
Maybes Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 OMG! Where'd you hear that?! Yakubu I could just about see happening, SWP sure, but Given? Just seems too much! God knows what happens if we don't go up this year (which is quite likely). A friend of mine has informed me from his source. He told me about Yakubu early doors the other day so it is quite credible, however nothing is concrete.
sdb Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 oh btw my 'OMG' was intentionally lame, before anyone says anything.
Guest shearfox Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Hopefully he comes, his presence at the back would make a huge difference to our defence. His a world class keeper in my view and would walk into most premier league sides.
Callabinho Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 App word on the grape vine is leicester set to make biggest signing in the clubs history..... This from a fairly good source I can usually trust them. So let's hope!
Kent Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Not sure why but I just can't rule something like this out anymore. Stupid, I know.
WillyP Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 App word on the grape vine is leicester set to make biggest signing in the clubs history..... This from a fairly good source I can usually trust them. So let's hope! This.
ajthefox Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 I'm not getting excited about this until something definitive says he is coming here, if indeed he is because this is just insane. Yakubu is one thing, but Given is further into the realms of stupidly good signings. At Newcastle, he was one of the best keepers in the PL for years on end. For us to sign him would be huge. Slashed odds or not I just can't believe this will happen.
cc_star Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Sven's backing of Weale before the Preston games was a good clue in retrospect saying he backs Weale and has no intention of replacing him unless one of the very best keepers became available, I think Given would count as one of the very best?
WillyP Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 If Shay Given came it would be ridiculous!! He has to be top 5 best Goalkeeper in the PL He would dominate!!
StanSP Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Anyone know, Perm or Loan? It's a permanent loan.
Narborough_fox Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 It's a permanent loan. Haha, very clever smart arse. <_<
MikeyT Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 App word on the grape vine is leicester set to make biggest signing in the clubs history..... This from a fairly good source I can usually trust them. So let's hope! What Grapevine?
cc_star Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Anyone know, Perm or Loan? I'd guess that any PL player will only be on loan in case we don't get up - They'll probably be able to choose from a range of clubs in the summer, obviously including us in that
Callabinho Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Anyone know, Perm or Loan? I've heard a permo from my source, app £6 -7 mil maybe the fee is a guess!
topharry123 Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 This will happen. It's a Given. like it! Can't see it, but 2 weeks back i'd have said the same about Yakubu. Sven and Mancini obviously seem to have a great working relationship, and Mancini might be willing to let Given come to us on loan. I doubt he'd let him go to another PL club so maybe....just maybe.... Would be an awesome signing if we can pull it off. If not, i'm perfectly happy with Weale as our number one.
Salieri Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 I've heard a permo from my source, app £6 -7 mil maybe the fee is a guess! Quality keeper yeah, but that sort of fee would be madness for a 34 year old (coupled with the extortionate wages).
Guest shearfox Posted 17 January 2011 Posted 17 January 2011 Quality keeper yeah, but that sort of fee would be madness for a 34 year old (coupled with the extortionate wages). 34 for a keeper isn't like 34 for an outfield player, he still has a few years in him yet.
