    Great answer to the "dropping down a level" question lol. If the price is right, would love to have Given's experience.

    He's said he'll take a hefty wage cut in one of tomorrow's rags.

    Make it happen Celtic :celt_2:

    was a great goalie but at his age and injuries and fall from grace I dont think we should consider big money. It would be a big gamble to shell out something like 3 million on him. Maybe a loan? Personally though I would like an peak period goalie. I think you get a lot more for your money on the continent when it comes to goalies.

    if he's willing to be paid 20k a week then yes. No more than that though

    Gunt I wouldnt say its a fall from Grace. Mancini always had plans for Hart as no.1 and Given was never given a chance.

    Well what about van der sarr - Alex Ferguson took him at the same age and look how that turned out - worth every penny he has earned. If Given came here and gave the same commitment then why would anyone be against it - he is at the same level as Edwin!

    More quotes from Given. He's got quite a bit to say about Celtic, all positive :celt_2:

    freeing up Hinkel and ljungberg's wages would save the club 45k a week (or thereabouts) offer Given 30k pw plus a generous match fee. sorted!

    Heard/read it all now.

    From the Daily Record story about Given today:

    Vampiresarebadyouknow wrote:
    He wants to finish his career on a high! Can't help but wonder why he would want to come to Celtic when there are top sides after him, either he lacks ambition or he is narrow minded, take your pick.
    Why do so many Irish players want to play for Celtic? I could understand it if they moved from Ireland to Scotland and grew up with the Celtic link but for guys who have lived in Ireland and England all their lives I can only think this is also narrow minded people with a bigotted agenda. The same kind of spin doctors that link Celtic with every Irish player that may/may not be available.
    If a club was set up in Austria by Scottish folk I wouldn't automatically support them or make it my dream to play for them. Maybe there is another reason'


    lol all you Irish people that support Celtic are narrow minded bigots!!!! What a numptie!!!

    Come on Big Shay! Why not. Would rather have Forster because his heart is really in it for the football not the money (also he's younger), but if Given comes I'll be happy.
