    Can't see Given coming up here. We should be looking to sign up another keeper who will be our No.1 long term.

    westwood as boruc's replacement?

    nooo thank you. Zaluska is prob twice the player he is... and hes not really in contention to get the number 1 jersey.

    We should be looking for a bigger keeper in my opinion.

    Any team in the Premiership would take him. It's just a matter of personal choice. I hope he has the same attitude as Bellamy and chooses a club that means something to him rather than just another top Premier League team. Come home Shay!!! :shamrock::celt_2:

    I think he'll stay in the Prem. I'd love this though.

    I think this one is in the bag personally. He wants to stay at City so it'll be a loan deal, we need a number 1, he wants to be a number 1 and play football and City won't sell to Arsenal.

    I would feel ten times more confident with him between the sticks for the rest of the season :icon_mrgreen:

    Imo we have a real shout with this one assuming Given is still keen on playing first team football and not just settling for a place on the bench with a weekly pay cheque.

    Given could well be the marque signing Celtic have the best chance of getting and what better position than to shore up the defence with a world class keeper.

    Reasons why this deal can happen:

    1) Given is a Celtic fan
    2) He is unhappy as reserve keeper at Man City
    3) Like Bellamy, Man City are unlikely to farm him out to Premier rivals
    4) Celtic will compete for trophies
    5) He is unlikely to want to play for his hometown team in County Donegal
    6) What is the point of moving to a mid table Premier club (no trophy potential)
    7) If he moves to Celtic on loan, he picks up his Man City wages regardless
    8) European football, even if it is just Europa League (like Man City)
    9) Man City had already done a deal for Bellamy with Celtic, just change the name to Given!
    10) Unfinished business at Celtic?

    I have been impressed with Celtic's transfer dealings this summer in terms of backing Lennon's ambition and how they have been handled by Reid and Lawwell.

    Now the relationship has been established with Man City regarding Bellamy, Celtic need to follow up and make a move for Given.

    Two weeks to transfer deadline the race is on for his signature.

    i also believe his wife is from Cumbernauld? Not 100% sure but i read it on here. I reckon a deal to sign Given would be easier than Bellamy as he is more likely to join us.

    thats what we said about david marshall.

    Boruc was our best keeper in yearss .. prob one of the best weve ever had .

    To replace him you need another top quality keeper. Bring in big shay .

    I think his wife probably couldn't wait to get away from Cumbernauld, why would she want to come any where near it again:icon_mrgreen:
