Davkaus Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hopefully they'll sign him if he does alright there. Great keeper in his prime, but agreeing to pay his pension for a few years was insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Excellent news all round. Hope he does well , hope they take him permanently, hope they do well. Edited November 28, 2013 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Northern Echo are reporting the Given story. Would be nuts to loan out Seigrist and Given and leaving Steer as the only back-up IMO. Agree with this, we've also loaned out brad Watkins to tranmere as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Id love to have around the negotiation table when this deal was being thrashed out SG - "I want a 5 year deal with wages of thifty five thousand pounds a week" AV "no problem, sign here".

VillaChris Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Can't see Boro signing him unless he takes a massive paycut. That's the problem with him and Hutton, they'd get in most championship clubs but no one down there can afford to sign them full time apart from QPR probably. Most premier league clubs could but I can't see who'd want them and Given would just be back up at another club which I doubt he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Find it funny Boro keeper gets sent off and banned for 3 games and they are allowed to take out an emergency loan and get in an arguably better keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Id love to have around the negotiation table when this deal was being thrashed out SG - "I want a 5 year deal with wages of thifty five thousand pounds a week" AV "no problem, sign here". I imagined as: SG - "I want a four year deal with wages of thirty thousand pounds a week" AV - "Are you sure we can't push you higher on that? At your age you need some security. How about 5 years and..." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted November 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2013 It is little known, but for a few years there, Aston Villa had retained the New York Mets' management to negotiate contracts.At least we avoided a Bobby Bonilla situation, where:After a subpar season in 1999, the Mets released Bonilla, but still owed him $5.9 million. The team had to get him off their book in order to sign another player, so they worked out a deal: If Bonilla would defer payment for a decade, they would pay him an annuity worth far more than the $5.9 million. Bonilla accepted the offer, resulting in an annual paycheck of $1.19 million starting in 2011 and ending in 2035. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Find it funny Boro keeper gets sent off and banned for 3 games and they are allowed to take out an emergency loan and get in an arguably better keeper. It was the last day of the loan window, so I'm not sure it was an emergency loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2013 He was very poor every time he played last season - that's probably why he isn't even back-up. I still believe we would've won that Bradford tie had Guzan been in goal. I don't think it would have made a slight bit of difference. He wasn't to blame for any of the goals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't to blame for any of the goals Don't really know how you can say he wasn't to blame for any of the goals. I can't remember them all exactly from memory but he was stuck to his line all the time and as villan_007 said he was also very flappy. We got murdered from corners (did they actually score any that weren't directly or indirectly from corners?) and I don't think it's a coincidence that since Guzan has been in goal we've been conceding less from corners.
