    This is what Bruce should be looking at,IMO.

    Matt Holland has urged Shay Given to resolve his Manchester City future as soon as possible and make a move to ensure he is playing regular football again.
    Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Holland watched as Given put in a commanding performance as Giovanni Trappatoni’s men cruised to a 2-0 win against Macedonia in their Euro 2012 qualifier.
    But after spending the season on Manchester Ciyty’s bench playing second-fiddle to Joe Hart who is Roberto Mancini’s first choice goalkeeper Holland thinks he needs to secure a move.

    He told talkSPORT: “It’s madness that he doesn’t play week in week out in the Premier League because he is a top-class goalkeeper.
    “He’s 35-years-old, and if you look this week at Spurs buying Brad Friedel who is 40-years-old on a two-year deal.
    “It just goes to show that Shay Given has got plenty of longevity left in his career. I hope that in the summer that maybe he’ll go and play somewhere and get a move where he can play as number one because certainly his talent deserves that.”
