Nohairdontcare Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Given has been training with Macclesfield. He's planning a move into coaching. I'd be delighted if we got a season out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been training with Macclesfield , but it is Wes brown and Alex Bruce that are doing their badges and and coaching the Macc lads.

Would small keepers like Given not be diminished by age to a greater extent than tall keepers, given it's likely their game is more reliant on athleticism and agility?

bozman Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I don't think Given is on the radar. Shez said all 3 potential keepers he is looking at have been playing regularly in pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Tbf Crossley was about 40 when we got him and he was pretty good for a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given has been quoted recently talking about his coaching ambitions - but says he's concerned that there aren't many job opportunities available. He has a UEFA A coaching licence.

He was injury prone though - we'd need a decent backup. Edited July 27, 2017 by jorvik_latic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, I was going off this hence not 100%, but it also makes sense if he has his badges already http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40596787 and this http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/15409229.Wes_Brown__Shay_Given_and_Alex_Bruce_training_with_Macclesfield/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Ex Blackburn? I'm sure we did. I'm also fairly certain that he wasn't too impressive. I thought he'd gone to Norwich a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
