2024/25 Michael Keane

[IV(AC)]

Just move on ffs
He's a liability. A balls up waiting to happen each game.
Its like gifting the opposition a goal before we kick a ball most matches he plays
Has a negative effect on the confidence and tactics of everyone around him.
Chipping in with the odd goal now and again, and the comedy striker appearances does not save him
Hundreds of better center backs in the game

A loans a possibility certainly but even then there are loan fees and the salary on top. Not sure whether agents get a fee as well with loans?

Villa pay Mings 20 grand a week more than Keane, it's a tough market.

We’ve been counting down the days until his contract ends and now some people want to keep him

Some people struggle to remember past the last month.

He`s been here eight years, I think we`ve seen enough of his disasters to formulate the correct opinion of his footballing abilities

Keane staying on when he is first choice backup with the risk of Branthwaite going would be a hard no for me. If the others stay and Tarkowski's injury doesn't look like it will rule him out for a chunk of next season then I am comfortable with him staying. Underlined because it's not like I'm super pleased by it.

If he goes we either promote from the youth team and they won't be good enough yet..or we pay a club a chunk of money, we pay agent fees, signing on fee and that takes from the budget that we'll need to replace Branthwaite/Tarks (or both) the season after, with someone who is already oven ready. All for someone who if all goes to plan won't play a single minute in the league.

Moyes will keep him as back up.
He'll do better under Moyes too or maybe I'm looking for a silver lining
but yeah, keeping Keane is the most Moyes thing ever.

It was only about 5 games ago that we were comfortably holding man city at bay until calamity Keane replaced Tarks and the back 4 turned into panic stations.

Under no circumstances should he be kept.

 

[Beware of the Catt]

Any decision to keep Keane will be assessed on risk/cost basis. It’s clearly not because he’s good enough - it’s about trying to make our transfer power go further and weighing that against the risk of him playing occasionally which is mad but I think that’s where we are

Exactly

Sign him on a new contract. Get the club to put together a YouTube compilation video of his blammos. Everyone comment in Arabic on said video that he's the best striker since Ali Daei. Sell him to the Saudis for 60m.

Are you sure it's not the other way round? They keep ignoring the call.

He is holding out for 70k per week apparently.

i think there is a decimal point missing

He'd be deported without due process and it would be the first time reasonable people agree with it
