Given Calls For More Reinforcements
-
Shay Given has voiced his concern that Newcastle have not been as active in the transfer market as they need be.
The Irish goalkeeper stopped well short of being outright critical of the club, insisting that he has faith that Kevin Keegan knows precisely what he is doing and that he will come up trumps by the time all is said and done this summer.
Nevertheless, he acknowledged that the fact that they only have one confirmed new addition, in the form of Jonas Gutierrez from Real Mallorca, is a cause for concern.
Given told the Newcastle Chronicle: "We need to get it going. We've got the gaffer in charge now and hopefully we'll sign a good few players as well.
"That's important because our squad is very small. We have to try to improve on last season and push up the league.
"It's a clean slate for everybody. Kevin has a pre-season to get everybody fit and he started looking at people at the end of last season.
"He knows we need to strengthen as well so hopefully that will be the case."
Given, 32, recently did his part by giving the club a big boost before the start of the new season in committing his future to St. James' Park -
