PL obviously took one look at Given's performances in the Euros and realized he had a potential problem.   Full marks for swift, decisive and correct action.

Very good news. Big fan of his and hopefully will get even better in time.

Does anyone know whether Guzan was away with the US international side after the end of the season? As opposed to getting the deal done immediately, it was said that Lambert hoped to have him signed up before the US tour. So that implies he's due to come back with the other international players.

Yes, he was tweeting from the US camp when they were playing.

Thanks - that explains why it seems to be taking so long.

Once again, I find myself in full agreement with Brian.

Judging by some of Lambert's quotes I wonder if he'd scouted Guzan last season as a possible addition at Norwich.

Good news this.  He looked very confident when he stepped in last year.  Would be happy with him as No. 1.

If it makes Given uneasy he's at the wrong club

Am I the only one that think Guzan is nowhere near good enough to be the number one for a reasonable EPL side?

If your literally thinking 'nowhere near', then quite possibly!

What we saw last season was a vast improvement from him and a good enough no2 with potential to be a regular no1.  So I'd be starting Given, but very much doubt we could get anyone better than Guzan as back up.

I don't think he's nowhere near good enough, but I do think he's helped by the 'for the sake of it' mentality that seems to arrive every time a reserve keeper steps in and has a couple of decent games.
