Bothroyd and Given to Celtic ?

[PaulRFC1 115]

Supposedly Celtic are in for both Shay Given and Jay Bothroyd.

Was on STV.

Given, yes.

Out of favour at City, but will they be looking to sell with only Gunnar Neilson as real backup? Would require a bit of a transfer fee I'd imagine.

Bothroyd no chance.

[wbairds 24]

here we go again they want to sign everybody

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Why wouldnt they be? Given wants to go and Bothroyd would jump at the chance to play for them and join Ledley.

I have no problem with this, we should be doing better anyway.

[Irwin Sparkes 97]

Celtic wouldn't pay Bothroyd any more than Cardiff would. He'll move to an EPL club

As for Given, who honestly gives a fuck? A 35 year old who hasn't kicked a ball in 12 months

[Irwin Sparkes 97]

How could a fan on a messageboard possibly know that?

[G.E.C. 18,792]

Bothroyd will go to Sunderland imo.

I think their only striker is Gyan at the moment.

Really ?

What about Ledley ? Celtic blew Cardiff out the water with Ledley.

Cardiff will be struggling to offer Bothroyd 15k and Celtic will come in and offer him 25k.

If an EPL club who can offer more than the scum come in then he will probably be off to the prem.

[H72 265]

I'd have cared about Given moving to them if they'd signed him last year or the year before.

Not now.

Football Focus He is good friends with Ledley. Cardiff to Seltic, its a no brainer.

Exactly. Cardiff are rooked, well and truly in the financial gutter.

[Scott-RFC 308]

Givens a good goalie, but Im not bothered whether they sign Bothroyd or not

They said Lennon was looking at Shane Long when Cardiff played Reading, if it was Bothroyd Id be happier with that

[jdocherty72 215]

They're both pish imo.

We've got Shagger, better than that wanker. We've also got Jelavic, better than another wanker. Also yet to see players we'll bring in. FT Sellic.

[skinnymate1690 625]

Given is still a good keeper , if they get him.

Bothroyd is decent

Wouldnt lose any sleep over either of them signing for ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ

[MathewIsHere 58]

They are pretty good tbh

[blyth 3]

Surely their spending won't be as frivolous this year seeing as they have no Champions League money yet again? Their wage bill must be enormous already without signing those two, who would probably command at least £40k a week between them.

I wouldn't even be too bothered if they did get Bothroyd. A good player on his day but he's outrageously inconsistent.

[Goianegra 4,682]

What formation do hey plan on using next season? They do know it's 11 men per team, yes?

[simplythebest 11,453]

Given would be much better than Forster.

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,552]

city wont allow given to be sold unless they get a better back up to hart

so it will likely be a loan move, which would save the beggars on wages

as for boothroyd, meh he's another player in an already over populated position in the beggar squad

that wee tit lennon still doesnt realise that his defence is fucking rotten and strikers wont fix that

Given will want more than £40k a week himself.

Exactly, there's no way they can sustain their current level of spending, never mind bringing in guys with very little sell-on value on huge contracts. I hope they do right enough, because the shit will very much hit the fan soon and they will find themselves in big trouble.

I hope they do too, to think you need to pay a keeper that sort of salary to play in this league is delusional.

[gazza27 15,283]

givens a great goalkeeper

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,552]

city will probably only loan him out unless they spunk mega money on another keeper
