I imagine we'll go for Neves now although I'm not sure. Our targets seem to change constantly, last year before the season ended it was Brandt which changed to Martin's to Salah. This year it's gone from Jorginho to Fekir and Dembele. Not a clue what's going on mostly.

Read Neves say he wants to stay at Wolves. Has seen what's happened with Renato Sanches and Andre Gomes and thinks he'd rather stay and become better than take a jump too far too early.

I couldn't think of a less suitable PL club for Yaya to go to...

He won't work hard enough for Klopp's liking. Can't be true.

Could it be Xabi Alonso?

Him and Jose are close aren't they and he's looking to go into coaching, I think.

AVB?

Or do you think he's talking about someone who PLAYED for him?

Would not believe that. He is completely not suited to Liverpool's style, he hardly likes to break a sweat when playing so he wouldn't be able to work with Klopp's intense pressing.

I remember when Dortmund played City away and a peak Yaya was completely nullified by Gundogan and Bender because he wasn't able to cope with their pressing.

Though, if Klopp manages to make him work hard then he surely is the greatest man motivator in the world.

Karanka then.

No. It’s a person coming who worked with me before but I can’t say the name because he’s still linked to another club. Michael Carrick becomes a coach on the pitch but I’m looking for two new people on the team. Good coaches there are many, but I like to make my assistants. I do not like trained coaches, I like to shape them in my way of thinking and they grow with me and I also grow with them.”

Does that make Karanka eligible? Karanka is already very experienced.

Think so. Maybe he is talking about ex player.

Yeah.... but what does he mean he's linked to another club? Is he lost in translation a bit? Is he attached to another club or does he mean the individual is speculated to be joining another club?

Assuming its someone who's taking first steps into management. Carrick? Lampard? Xabi is unlikely due to Pool links.

John Terry as someone said. I'd piss myself. This place would melt!

If its John Terry, one of our players wives is getting drilled behind their back.

Lampard is an interesting one, and I think it might be him. He's almost done with his coaching badges:

https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation...ished-with-english-coaching-licence-uefa-next
At the rate Chelsea go through head coaches, it’s a good thing that many of our former players are interested in that side of the business as well — just in case we ever run out of “top” candidates as the doomsayers have been predicting for much of Abramovich’s tenure (though we’ve yet to come close to that happening).

In any case, adding soon to that pool of eligible candidates will be Sir Frank of Lampard, Second of His Name (honorary title), who is getting close to finishing his studies for his coaching badges.




Part of the curriculum is hands-on practice, which is why we’ve seen Lampard back repeatedly at Cobham this season, working with the U18s and younger age groups within the scope of his coursework.

But Lampard has set his sights above youth level coaching, and has already had preliminary talks with Oxford United board member Dave Jones last summer about a possible role at the League One side. It never went further than that as Lamps didn’t have his licence just yet, but as it happens, the Oxford job is once again open. But Chelsea’s all-time leading goalscorer said he’s not a candidate ... currently.


Lampard always seemed to fall well within the category of “future manager”, so it’s good to see him going down that road instead of the easier and much cushier punditry gig. Once he has his badges, surely they will be plenty of offers (though unlike Giggs or Neville, he’d well advised to not be afraid to drop down a level or two for his first job).

Of course, the links with a future role as Chelsea manager have started last year already and will only intensify in the future. That said, I’m a bit conflicted about that possibility. On the one hand, he’s a club legend, he’s intelligent, hard-working and no doubt he’ll make an excellent manager someday. On the other hand, getting hired by Chelsea is the first step towards getting fired by Chelsea. And that would be painful.

But that’s a long way away. In the meantime, congrats to Lamps for his upcoming graduation and entrance into (hopefully) a long and prosperous second career.
