I have dished out lots of stick to Given over the years but wouldn't mind him on our books. Call me fickle if you like!

I would prefer Foster but if we can't get him then I would go for Robinson of Blackburn either one would be more than able to do a job for us I just hope we get the keeper position sorted early in the the transfer window.

I'd like McGregor but I think it will be Foster, would be happy with either!
Givens good at saving shots, but not much else I don't think, he doesn't command his area well enough
I do really like the look of Kasper Schmiechel (or however its spelt!)

Schmeichel has just been binned by Leeds... I doubt he'll be coming to us. If he does I'd be extremely worried.

Didn't know that! Whenever I seen him he was very good. Why was he binned?

They sold him to Leicester for £1.25m........Grayson said it was because he wouldnt sign a new deal (he had 1 year remaining)/wanted to improve his defence and Schmeichel said he was never offered a new deal........

Someone younger than Given.

Given's injuries are more of a concern than his age. Goalkeepers can play deep into their 30's now, so he'd give us a solid 4 or 5 years. He's a very good goalkeeper, but in order for us to sign him I'd assume he'll take a pay cut. He must be on decent coin up there with everyone else at Man City. Still, if it is him, and like I said, he's fit, he's a top keeper.

McGregor for both. With AM in charge he could get him in with the Rangers links n' all.

McGregor penning new deal with Rangers keeping him here until 2016
would need IMO a bid of over £10m now to tempt us.

McLeish and him had a falling out a while back when Stefan Klos was injured and he brought an experienced keeper in to replace him, so don't know if McLeish would have that good a chance of tempting the shagger to Villa Park.

I read that Grayson blamed him for a number of goals he conceded, then grayson goes and signs the Blackpool reserve keeper who let in 9 in his first three games

Blast from the past that. We were linked with Frey a few years back, had forgot all about him.  Is he still at Fiorentina? Looked good when we played them back in 2009.

Foster would be my first choice but inevitably will cost big money so if that's what we don't have would rather look at Robinson.

I would be gutted if we got Given.

He's number 2 now at Fiorentina to Artur Boruc so would be very gettable.
