Gary Neville retiring from Old Trafford does not only herald the end of the famous Manchester United youth team of the 1990′s but also the end of the one-club man. Increasingly players, such as Fernando Torres, declare their ‘love’ for the club (Liverp0ol) before moving to their arch-rivals (Chelsea).
COS takes a look at the dying breed of players who remain loyal to their clubs:

After weeks and weeks of speculation it appears that Newcastle United ‘manager’ Joe Kinnear has finally admitted defeat.
The media have both been speculating about the future of both of Newcastle’s long-term goalkeepers Shay Given and Steve Harper. With Harper signing a new three-year deal this week, it seems that Given is ready to make a move, with Manchester City sniffing around the Republic of Ireland stopper. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Despite Newcastle having: 1) An already small squad and, 2) Having released four players from said squad this summer, there are stories linking almost half their squad away from the club, where according to Sky Sports:
Middlesbrough and Aston Villa are said to be keen on James Milner, Rangers are chasing Alan Smith, and Blackburn are keeping tabs on Abdoulaye Faye.
With Obafemi Martins interesting Arsenal and Michael Owen seen as a possible replacement for Dimitar Berbatov should the Bulgarian leave Tottenham, Keegan could have his work cut out during the close season.
Add to that the rumour that Damien Duff has put his house up for sale, Emre is constantly linked with a move away from Tyneside and Liverpool’s interest in Steve Harper, and before we know it Newcastle will be fielding all those youngsters they bought in January next season.
Will these players go? Do Newcastle fans care if they do? With the club also being linked, as per usual, with every single player on the face of the planet, they could surely replace anyone who left.

It’s set to be a fraught end to the football season for Newcastle United fans, with their team scrapping for survival near the foot of the Premier League. The Guardian have reported some bad news for the Toon Army, with Shay Given set to be missing for another six weeks after an operation on his groin.
“After consultation with Dr Ulrike Muschaweck, Shay Given will have surgery in Munich today to cure his recurrent groin problems,” read a statement on Newcastle’s website today. “He is expected to make a full recovery and will be absent for a six-week period.”
Steve Harper will continue to deputise in Given’s absence and has been a fairly solid goalkeeping understudy for the Magpies, despite failing to keep a clean sheet in his past nine games. After their 1-1 draw with Birmingham, it’s clear that three points against Fulham will alleviate any fears that Newcastle will be playing in the Championship next season.
