Yes ever (so far) £3,5M for a top top GK  yes great deal unique in living memory.

Hmm, I feel the £2m for Brad was the better deal, absolutely top notch and ever present for donkeys years.

Don't give a toss at the length of the contract, we've got a keeper that single handedly kept Newcastle in respectable scorelines when there was no end of rabble in front of him.

Welcome onboard son and do us proud.

Not sure how true it is but someone was mentioning the other day that the deal is designed so that the last couple of seasons are as a player coach.
It sort of makes sense and is a bit of a carrot if he has no other plans for his longer term future sorted yet.
Looking forward to him being one of our heroes!

fully agree with this
maybe Villa had to give him a 5 year deal to get him here - anyway welcome to the fun house Shay

If you click 'profile' which is next to 'my messages' and then when in your profile click 'show posts' you will see all your posts so should at least be able to see if you posted it in a different thread.

5 years is long but should take him to the end of his career, potential coaching opportunities there after and we wont have to worry about bringing in a new GK for at least another 3/4 years as long as he stays fit.

Good luck and keep some clean sheets! :)

Got it, that is the link, the post has vanished and so as the one from a few days ago.

Must have been deleted.

Cheers for that anyway.

He looks like he's been on the Dunne Plan diet in that photo.

yeah just what i was thinking hopefully a bad angle, the wierd thing about Given is that he always looks shorter than he actually is
Isn't he like 6 foot 1? I always thought he was a migit!
