Shay Given =

[Howard_lfc]

Glutton for punishment.

Surely this lad can't go throug the rest of his career without playing for one of the big three - or Chelsea ?

He's a class keeper who's wasting away in the goldfish bowl that is Newcastle Utd.

He is an exceptional keeper but is relatively poor on crosses. He deserves to be in europe regularly and for longer but ultimately I think his relative lack of height counts against him in terms of going to one of the top 4 clubs in the PL.

So does his distribution from the floor.

Disagree.

So long as he organises his defence accordingly (to deal with crosses etc) then his height is not a disadvantage. He is easily good enough to play for a top team IMO.

[kopdan]

I dont think there are any top clubs that need a keeper.

Its what ive taught for years, for him to finish his career with no medals is a shame

[Red_Polo]

Brilliant shot stopper, lacks a bit in other departments, but overall still one of the best keepers the Premiership has had IMO.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

They say he's to short that why they say none of the top teams have gone for him.

I think thats just pance he's World class and over worked by the Circus defense

How long dya think Arsenal will keep Lemon?

[Guest]

Given is 32 years old I think, so it must be too late for him concerning going to a bigger club ... But still, Van Der Sar made it a manure at 36.

[Ron_Mexico]

he seems like a young 32 and is an exceptional athlete, he should be able to play until his late 30's at a high level. arsenal are going to need a keeper soon, almunia (did anyone notice how in love andy gray is with almunia, its disgusting) will be a career 2nd choice imo

[Eth]

He was very close to signing for Arsenal 2 seasons ago - He may finish his career where he started it at Celtic from what I've heard.

They have a good enough keeper in Almunia
