Shay Given
Another experienced stopper, but also a legend at Tyneside – Given is also currently having to play second fiddle to Jack Butland at Stoke City.
However, Given has been frequently linked to a return to St James Park in the past, and a return of an ex-hero would surely provide a big lift around the club.
Finally, with the Republic of Ireland still hoping to make the Euros next year, it could also be some great match practice for Given.
