Shay Given

[richardhubbard]

Off to Doncaster on Loan according to reports

[dicedlam]

Can only see it has being some deal that involves them only paying part of his wages.

[danlanza]

Doncaster ? Are you sure ? Thought he would go to a bigger club than that. Oh well.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

As long as they pay a good chunk of his wages. No point in it if not.

Suppose if Guzan should get injured, then we can always recall him back. Not sure about the back-up GK? Is he any good?

[PaulWinch again]

They must be paying some wages or we wouldn't be doing it.

[dave.woodhall]

Please don't shout.

Doncaster have some decent money behind them now. I'm sure we'd be paying a bit and there might be an agreed permanent transfer fee if it works out after a year.

[Hoppo]

I might have it wrong but im sure some sort of Irish Consortium is involved with Doncaster. Im sure Richard Tonne has been rumoured to end up there.

I've heard something about an Irish consortium too.

Steven Ireland is also Irish, but I doubt they're that stupid.

[supertom]

They've had Habib Beye and Diouf there in the last couple of years. I don't think big wages are that much of an issue to them I guess.
Still, I'd have thought Given could have had far better options. Premier league clubs or top end Championship. Then again, if they're being fairly ambitious with their money, they could push for a play off place. Given would be a cracking signing for them.
My guess is they'd take him on loan for a year. If they stay up they'll make it permanent.

Also if we worked in a recall option I suppose if Brad gets injured we could bring Shay back.

[Chipsticks]

That'd be a great deal for Doncaster, though I'd rather we try and get him off the wage bill altogether.

[Clampy]

Fair play to him for not wanting to sit on his arse and take his wages.

[richardhubbard]

Got all excited didn't you?

They were paying two grand of Beye's wages when he was there, we were covering the rest.
