Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Sunderland and West Ham United want Newcastle United reserve team keeper Steve Harper. It is thought that Newcastle United will allow Harper to depart the club under a gentleman’s agreement with chairman Freddy Shepherd because he has been a loyal and patient servant of the club. It remains to be seen if this would extend to a move to the Stadium of Light for the player. Harper has had few chances in the Newcastle United first team thanks to the impressive form of first choice keeper Shay Given. It is understood that manager Glenn Roeder is keen to keep Harper at the club but the shot stopper is desperate to be playing first team football. Sunderland are in need of a goalkeeper themselves as Kelvin Davis is close to a move away from the club. He looks set to join Southampton in the near future whilst West Ham United are also after a shot stopper as well. Shaka Hislop has left the club and it leaves Roy Carroll as the only experienced keeper left at Upton Park. Harper's contract is up at the end of coming season and Given has signed a new four year deal. This means a continued spell on the bench and much frustration for Harper.

Craig 6287 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 So if we don't have a shortage of cover elsewhere on the pitch, they're now thinking of letting one of the best second choice keepers walk away from the club too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I think this story appears every July, with Celtic, Boro and the mackems swapping places. Next shola will be telling us he wants to take his chance up front! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 If i was Given i'd do everything to ensure Harper stays, because this is NUFC and the second we let Harper go, Given will get a serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
