2020/21 Michael Keane

[Frenk]

An ok defender who has his moments but isn’t good enough or consistent enough to warrant a place at a club that should be doing better. There I said it.

Nothing wrong with telling the truth Frank. An ok defender?think you over praised him there.

 

[Cameron Manning]

It’s always his defensive partners who get the blame but it’s club foot thats always the common denominator, absolutely bang average who has a little good patch every several months. Stuck with him now though for another 5 years on massive wage, should’ve tried to get our money back and get quality in

“It’s always his defensive partners who get the blame” exactly, while he gets in the way playing statue’s, did it twice early on in the game yesterday and would have been punished only for rank bad efforts by Leeds forwards.

 

[Carlito]

He's done well to turn his situation around and play for England again, but if he's your number one defender, you're in trouble.

I never expected him to be particularly quick or elegant, but his lack of upper-body strength is pathetic.

 

[Eggs]

....although he made a mistake towards the end, I thought Zouma looked very good for Chelsea today. He really is the type we need, I just hope Godfrey can fill the void.

 

[Carloblues]

Never like him, even when he was playing alrite.

You don't necessarily need pace to be a good cb but you need to be able to atleast turn not in slow motion.

Big fart

 

[BlueDraka]

I wish he would show some aggression. Get nasty with the opposition. But I'm dreaming.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

This Gabriel lad for Arsenal looks good.

We have to go with Godfrey and Holgate in a back 4. It seems so obvious to me...

Having said that, we will probably need to play Keane against burnley...though id go with Mina myself.

Well, i never

I did go on about him for a few months when we were linked, hes class.

Should have signed him when the deal was ready to be done back in March time.

Instead Brands pooped the bed....

...to be honest Zat, I’m not convinced with Holgate. I know this will be unpopular. His attitude is first class and he did terrific seizing his chance last season, but he invariably slows the game because he’s ponderous in possession. He’ll more often than not go back to Pickford and we look a much better team playing with tempo.

i don’t think he’s particularly fast and he’s not the biggest so he can come off 2nd best physically.

We’re a bit of a mess, but despite my criticism of Keane he’d be the one I’d play with Godfrey and let them establish a partnership.

I remember Holgate chasing down players + also his leadership and snide could be very important.

For me, if he can work on reading the game then hes clear 1st choice.

Would play him with Godfrey and punt keane into oblivion.

He isnt ok. He isnt the nothing man of football.Cant play football, cant run, cant defend. He should try darts.

...we shouldn’t dismiss young Branthwaite, he might force himself into the reckoning given how classy he looked before his injury.

@ForeverBlue92

As I recall the fee was very high and the potential wage was sky high as well.

 

[Jayhow15]

Scandalous shouts in here. Keane our 2nd most improved player under Ancelotti. Not a Rolls Royce CB but hardly at fault for any of goals in our losses recently if I recall. Problem isn't at CB its full back and binning Keane would exacerbate that immensely.
