Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is delighted with their capture of Newcastle United goalkeeper Shay Given.
Hughes said: "I have said for a long time that we need the experience of a keeper like Shay.
"I am delighted that we have been able to acquire such an accomplished keeper, and one so highly regarded by everyone in the Premier League.
"We are getting a very good keeper and the experience he has will help the two outstanding young keepers that we have here in Joe [Hart] and Kasper [Schmeichel].
"I am looking for them all to grow as a group and it's important that we have that influence of a senior keeper.
"I have had a good talk with him about where we expect to be in the future.
"From a football point of view, and a club point of view, it's an easy thing to sell because we know we are going in the right direction. Players want to be part of that."
