They have 9:

Take your pick

Shay Given cannot have envisaged the goalkeeping crisis that he had sparked as he left the field at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday night. He was in too much pain from his dislocated shoulder to care, anyway. Given’s injury forced City into putting pressure on the Premier League yesterday to allow them to sign an emergency replacement.

Joe Hart, 23

Became No 1 under Sven-Göran Eriksson but, with Given’s arrival, is now on loan with Birmingham City.

Stuart Taylor, 29

Signed by Mark Hughes in July 2009 after being released by Aston Villa. Recently had knee surgery.

David González, 27

Colombia international. Free agent last year, joined City after trial. Sidelined with a groin injury.

Loris Karius, 17

German persuaded to move to City from Stuttgart by Hughes in May last year.

Tobias Johansen, 19

Norwegian who has been loaned to Kongsvinger in his homeland. Signed extension to his contract in 2008.

James Wood, 19

Welsh-born Scot, son of the former Arsenal, Everton and Scotland goalkeeper, George Wood.

Nathan Dean, 18

Manchester United-supporting youngster. Spotted as a schoolboy in St Helens in 2004.

9 Keepers!!!! They can go shove the request where the sun dont shine!!

They entered the season acting the big club they are NOT, they then should have planned for something like this. If they do sign some one maybe Liverpool should get another striker, as Torres, Ngog, Kuyt, are all at at the mo.
 
I would also say that Cuddicini was in a scooter accident and the club shouldnt be held accountable for that imo and it was just really bad luck that it happened

Totally different to loaning out your 2nd best keeper to a rival hoping to benefit in the long run. No way should City be allowed to sign another keeper (although Im sure they will be allowed to)
 
Joe Hart was loaned to Birmingham City for a fee, and as anyone who has played Football Manager will know, this means he can't be recalled!

Why are we only offering Fabianski lads? Let's throw in Almunia too, and offer them a million to sweeten the deal...
 
Why is this such a shocker? :confused:

I'm sure Everton and Chelsea have had similar things happen where they were allowed to bring in a keeper.

No harm to the chap, but he isn't anywhere near the class of goalkeeper that one of the largest teams in the world requires. Wenger should have snapped at Given at the start of the season, its the one area of the team that has been severely lacking for years.
 
Yes, we've not had a solid stopper since Seaman... Arsene is a good judge of a player, but I think he needs help with the keepers!
 
God I remember when Sorensen and Taylor were injured for us, so we had to sign Gabor Kiraly on an emergency loan, even though we had Robert Olejnik as a 3rd keeper and David Bevan from our academy.
