I do agree he shouldn't be on the bench as he's a top keeper, but as he's behind Hart in the pecking order at Man City I'm shocked he didn't hand in a transfer request... Arsenal are in desperate need of a top keeper as well, I'm suprised they didn't come in for him as their chase of Mark Schwarzer was clearly failing lol

That's my whole point. He did want to leave but Man City wont let him.

Mancini said he's free to leave. But he decided to stay.

Nah, the club itself are unwilling to let him go.

Van Der Vaart to Spurs.

LOL Adebayor, Santa Cruz and Given will have to warm the Man City bench for a while longer now.

Yep, can't believe Ferguson didn't push for him or Ozil. Very strange stuff.

1 He's overated, hes a great keeper but too many people make out like hes the best keeper in the world.
2 Manchester City were happy to let him leave on a loan but shay said he didnt want to go to fulham.

I think Gyan will be a bargain for Sunderland.

Oh Ben, he's not overrated at all. One of the best keepers in the world really.

Van Der Vaart moves to Spurs then, what a deal for £8 million.

Cech
Casilias
Reina
Lloris
Buffon
Ceaser.. are the top keepers.

Van Der Sar on his day..
Hart is in better form to.

Shay is great yes but hes not the best, and so many people say he is the best that yes he is overated.

Commontators are so pro given, Shot straight at a keeper they say easy take for the keeper, shot straight at given and the commontators going world class save! simply amazing from given!.. and it just is bull, so many people i know agree. lol.
