One of the most bizarre statements I've read on this forum I must say. He was player of the season by some distance and we would be in the championship now if not for him.But someone has to be nominated for 2012-13 Scapegoat of the Season.

He waas far from great last season also.
He waas far from great last season also. Unfortunately he is past his sell by date and is likely to get worse.

Can't say that I think buying Given was the best bit of business. He's a decent keeper, but for every world class save that makes him look good, there's often a piece of keeping that is equally bad. He's a good shot-stopper, but not as good at other areas. At his age and with his injury problems I think his contract was very generous.
He didn't look right at all for Ireland and looks like he was rushed back from injury. For us, I think he can still do a job but we need a strong younger keeper as his deputy who can step in and play 10-15 games a season.
Dan - are you saying we should re-sign Guzan, or do you not know he's left?
