UPDATE: from the BBC:
Manchester City will be given special dispensation to sign a goalkeeper on an emergency loan deal until the end of the season, BBC Sport understands.###
Shay Given will miss City's last three games after dislocating a shoulder in the 0-0 draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
Stuart Taylor is also out and Joe Hart is on loan at Birmingham, which leaves only the inexperienced Gunnar Nielsen.
Spokesmen for Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool said they had "no comment" on the Premier League ruling.
from The Guardian:
Manchester City want to sign Marton Fulop from Sunderland to take over from the injured Shay Given on an emergency loan deal until the end of the season.Fulop is 1.6 in the Y! game and could be a great bargain, with two home matches this week. However, I'm likely to stick with the even cheaper Begovic (for a buck) home to Everton and at Fulham. Pending Europa Cup results, of course.
Fulop, the Hungary goalkeeper, has fallen out of favour at the Stadium of Light and heads a list of targets drawn up by City to fill the void left by Given dislocating a shoulder in Saturday's 0‑0 draw at Arsenal...
City need permission from the Premier League to allow them to bring in another goalkeeper outside of the transfer window. The club have made an official request, backing up their claim with medical statements, and will find out tomorrow if they have been successful. However, it is understood that the Premier League is likely to be sympathetic as they fit the criteria for an emergency deal.
In other Sunderland-related news:
Sunderland are appealing to the Football Association over the red card shown to Alan Hutton following his altercation with Jozy Altidore in the win at Hull City.
A spokesperson has confirmed they "are appealing the severity of the sanction" following Hutton's dismissal in Saturday's 1-0 win. The defender was embroiled in an altercation with the Hull City striker at the end of the first half that resulted in the referee Lee Probert dismissing both players.
Followinga challenge between the duo, Hutton sparked the incident by throwing the ball at Altidore, who responded by headbutting the Scot, causing facial injuries. Hutton is now due to miss the final two games of this season, at home to Manchester United and at Wolves, as well as the first of next term.
Simonsen went on a one-month loan announced on March 19. Might he be back for Stoke instead of Begovic?
ReplyDeleteSomething to look out for, Yankee. I don't think so, but we'll be sure to find out for sure.
ReplyDelete@Yankee, ask and ye shall receieve.
ReplyDelete"[Begovic]'s going to get some games now," Pulis added, "and hopefully the people in front of him will work a bit harder and make it more difficult for teams to play against us."
Steve Simonsen will take up residence on the bench against Everton next Saturday after already returning from a seven-match loan spell at Sheffield United.
if Begovic play well against everton, he will play against everton...if he flop, simonsen will start 2nd match...there is also possibility for simonsen to play against everton...just my thought..cheers
ReplyDeleteHart back to City now on the table.

Well, Hart is certainly more expensive than Fulop.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty comfortable with the Begovic pick, but welcome anyone else's concerns or commentary. Especially if your name rhymes with Pony Coolis.
Well one thing is for sure that if that thing becomes visible at this time, project consulting services will be more at ease on some matters.
