[Will the Ram 176]

Apparently Lampard wants Shay Given to join him at Chelsea:

To help train theirs with crosses and set pieces? 😂

Another 2 mil in the bank for FFP and thank you Mr Abramovitch.

No apparently Chelsea wanted to promote Hilario their ex goalie so there was no need for Given to move there

I believe he didn’t come in specifically as a GK coach. If I remember right, in his intro video he says his role will be working with the first team more generally. 

I’m sure someone on here will have the time go back and watch the video to check.

No need, memory of it is pretty clear, you're right. He definitely talked about not wanting to come in and just work with goalkeepers, but the defenders (were specifically mentioned) and other outfield players too.

Pascal Zuberbühler come back please

Surprised he didn’t go there in the first place with Lampard, not sure why Chelsea wanted to force coaches onto Lampard rather than letting him have his own team. He’s committed to being a part of our new coaching staff under Cocu now though, so you’d think this would come too late and he’ll stay here.

Unless Cocu's happy for him to go, of course.

Along the money, this would also give Cocu the possibility to bring his own man in.

Anybody got his phone number?

Well I’m not sure he’d really have much choice in the matter if the approach came in. There’s definitely an argument to suggest potentially that Given is not having the best influence on our goalkeepers, with Roos current form and Carson before him- but equally if he does leave, then Cocu has to find a new goalie coach from somewhere that he can work with, which may or may not be easy.

Yes, I believe he was offered a more junior role with Chelsea youth setup, but decided to stay at Derby.
