brian_a_mul added 09:54 - Sep 3 Wolves are his parent club, he is registered as a Wolves player. Mad that Given is back in the squad, he is back up to Guzan at Villa and working in a coaching capacity! If he starts ahead of Forde I'll be fuming. Dont get me wrong, I love Given he was one of the best keepers in Premier for a long time. But his time is up at this level!
