Given unsettled at Newcastle

Newcastle Uniteds Irish keeper Shay Given is said to be unsettled at Tyneside.

The Times says Given, who spoke about about the club's "direction" at the end of last season, has not had his fears banished as the club still isnt moving in the "right direction"

Barcelona, Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with Given but no contact has yet beeen made.

Well, I dont think he will go to United after Van Der Saar signed, but Arsenal. What a move that would turn out to be for him. But he needs to make sure he picks the right club, because this lad is awsome and top notch. He is Champions League quality and he doesnt want to be wasted talent on a clubs subs bench being the water boy.

I dont think he will move from Newcastle, there isnt many teams to go to and hes 1st choice at Newcastle

Plenty of teams would want him. But he lately officially released a statement he wasn't unsettled and wanted to stay. Don't think he'll go.

He probably wont leave. What I meant was that not many teams need a no.1 keeper atm.

Hes a great keeper who deserves a decent defense to work behind

I really hope he doesnt leave , he was our best player of the season. Which i know is werid to think of when it has been so bad. He has made some very important saves which stopped things being even worse than they became.
