Given-New Keeper?

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Sorry off topic but does Mancini's son have any chance of ever making it with us, or is he just there because of who his dad is?

I've never seen him play but from what I've heard he's defo there just coz his old man is Roberto. I'm a bit disappointed with that. It should've been Harry Bunn there with the squad who'd be there on merit

Mancinis son will never make it with us he's lucky to even get in the eds side from what I have seem of him

Funny thing is though that Bob didn't bring him with him. It was Sven who signed him. Mancini jr was already with us when Sr signed.

I think you might be wrong there mate! Wasn't he only here on a 6month deal when Sven signed him? And it was done more as a favour to Mancini

Favour or not, he was def with us before senior arrived.

with heymark on this one.

there under sven....left....came back just after his papa was appointed....

[HeyMark]

Just had a check on wiki mate, sven signed fillipo while mancini signed andrea! Turns out we've had both of them here!

[CheadleBlue]

And both of them are useless. Andrea has had games with EDS last season while his brother was at Platt Lane and we didn't see much of him. Both lads are not up to scratch as far as we are concerned. Andreas did my nut in watching him at Hydae as he's a lazy little prick and one who will not tackle.

Beat me to it. Andreas is the one on tour and who has played some EDS games.He is rubbish and should not be with us at all and definitely not on tour now. He makes Jo look like world footballer of the year!

Shit! That's bit of nepotism.

Bit like when Ferguson kept giving games to his lad Darren. Anyone remember? He was pretty fucking shite and I remember rag mate of mine being seriously pissed about it at the time.

Reserve keepers are like arseholes, everyones got one, so we should have much trouble getting a serviceable one when Seamus heads out.

Stuart Taylor is absolutely fine, just so long as he doesnt have to actually play.

Sort of hit the nail on the head there. Haven't we still got loads of keepers? We've taken 4 to America I believe. Surely to goodness one of them can be a half-decent deputy?

We have Hart and taylor and two young lads who have never even been on our bench, if hart gets any sort of injury(touch wood he wont) we are fucked, for a club with our resources why take the chance?? This already backfired two seasons ago....

[CityGer]

Can we not do some sort of deal with Stoke for Sorenson?

He'd be ideal.

[Dubciteh]

Says in the Daily Mail we are after Craig Gordon

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... ordon.html

Not a bad shout IMO but I doubt Sunderland will let him go for cheap.

hes out injured till august so he would be a risk, only a year left on his contract a couple of mill would do it, he usually has a stormer against us for that reason we should sign him!

[Nigels Tackle]

Given will not shay.

that's a given

[ross.mcfc]

There's no way Craig Gordon will agree to be a back up keeper.

erm hasnt he done that for most of last season?

He was injured wasn't he?

Then lost his place to Mignolet

Hasnt been fit for 9 months. I really dont see the point of signing a keeper who is never fit.

Big fan. I think if he could stay fit he could be one of the best in the league but he simply cant.

Unlike Given who was at least getting match practise playing for Ireland he is no longer his countries number 1 and he certainly wouldnt get it back sitting on the bench somewhere.

[Hazy2]

He might just be that at Sunderland now they've signed Keiren Westwood, so getting a payrise to do the same at City is possible. Been too injury prone over the last 18 months for my liking mind.

All we need is the Welsh number 1 and we have fooked the Home nations for keepers.

I know you are Polish mate but WTF? Is Jerzy Dudek even alive anymore? Has to be about 120 years old by now. I haven't heard about him in years.

I think he retired at the end of the season. Seem to remember him getting a guard of honour after being taken off during one of Reals last games

Fucking hell! I was watching that game! My memory ain't what it used to be. Can't have played many games for Real though.
