khay 10 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 NEWCASTLE United goalkeeper Steve Harper has signed a three-year contract extension keeping him at the Club until the end of the 2011/12 season. The Easington-born star joined the Magpies from Seaham Red Star in 1993 and has gone to make 111 appearances for the Geordies. And a delighted Harps told nufc.co.uk: "I'm a North East lad and Newcastle United has always been a huge part of my life and I'm delighted that will continue. "At the end of this contract I will have been at Newcastle for 19 seasons which is more than half of my life so that shows how much this club always meant to me. "I'm delighted it's sorted and now I can concentrate on doing what I have always done which is working hard in training and push my claims for regular first-team football." Bye Bye Given. but step up to the plate Stevie Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKev 0 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I wish Shay all the best at City, and I'm glad that Harper finally gets his chance. He deserves that, one of the most loyal football players I've seen in football. Great professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6961 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 You cant say he doesnt deserve it. With any luck hel pick up off Shays form and stake a claim for the england team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1199 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Harps is probably the only reason why im not fuming at the loss of Given. Not once while Harps has been the understudy have I ever worried about the GK slot whilst Given has been out. Rightly deserves the no.1 in my opinion, and will certainly do an excellent job of it.

Dr Gloom 21758 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 i'm happy for harper but totally gutted about given. he saves must have won us as many points over the years as shearer's goals. absolute legend. i'm quite sad to see him to go to a club like city and not one of the big 4 too.

Fop 1 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Meh, it says a lot about NUFC when actually getting a player to sign a new contract is actually vaguely exciting. Looks like Given is off then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shear class! 0 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Goals not goalkeepers win games. I'm unsure of that, I rekon Shay has won us a game or two with his five word class saves to our one scrappy goal. Could of been 5-1 but is then 1-0. Goals And Goal Keepers Win Games.... Harps is class though. He would be number 1 at 95% of premiuer league clubs in my eyes. Also Krul is going to be the bollox too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly stopped us losing some, Harper will likely do a good job, but the big things with the pair of them in the last decade is the sheer strength we've had there, both arguably Premiership first team keepers (so 1 spare for injures).
