Liverpool are set to make a move for shay given as cover for simon mignolet. My guess is they'll just be using him as an experienced head to give a few pointers and somebody that can step in should anything happen and from given's point of view it will no doubt be an ideal way to see out his career, a bit like marshall did with us.
Listening to Shay on radio last week he said he wanted to play first team footy for the last couple years of his career, so I don't think he'd go there to be a No2

They didn't want to keep Reina because of his wages and i'm guessing he couldn't have been on much more than Given is now.
Reina was on £110,000 a week, and their hoping Given takes a drop on his current £60,000 a week. just like he did when he joined us from the £80,000 Man City. now all you parents out there with young kids learn them goal keeping skills, it pays!
Fair point, I don't think it was about the wages with reina, I just think they realised he's past it and used and excuse else they'd have to get rid of half their team. And tbh surely given would just be happy with a move of any kind now! Anyway this is just something i've heard last night and its been reported a few places now so we'll see what happens with it. I'm not going to throw and dates and fees around like kingvilla since its just rumoured interest.
I'd rather be number 2 there than number 3 with us
