I agree Given is a parasite same as Hutton.
He's better than Lowton just cos he scored a wonder goal don't make him a good player Hutton should be given a chance
And Given was actively searching for a move away last summer but understandably did not want to swap our bench for Liverpools bench. I want him out just as much as Hutton, but he is a far different case, and has been thoroughly professional throughout.
I don't think Bent, Hutton, Given, Ireland etc are much worse than the players playing for us in their positions. I think the point is their replacements are doing as good a job or better for a fraction of the wages that Hutton etc are on. If Hutton was on £15k I'd imagine he'd be in and around the squad. I don't think N'Zogbia is any worse than Tonev but I'd rather perservere with Tonev even if Zog was fit as the guy can do a similar job for a fraction of the cost.

Quote from: ciggiesnbeer on November 12, 2013, 09:09:19 PMI am pretty sure if he handed in a transfer request he could have got a move last summer. But he didnt because he doesnt believe in himself enough to take a pay cut and prove himself at a new club.He is probably frozen out because of appearance fees or some such in his contract.Hutton is just acting the same way Shay Given is, I find it a bit annoying Hutton gets abuse but Shay doesnt.I've not seen newspaper articles where Given is moaning about a lack of first team football despite turning down opportunities in the summer.
