2024/25 Michael Vincent Keane



As things currently stand, and given Moyes’s preferred line up (which I think he’ll retain next season regardless of who comes in at right back), we are one injury away from Keane starting every game at CB. One.

Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, OBrien.

One injury in the middle and Keane is back in. Perhaps at best two if we move OBrien over and play a right back we don’t have yet.

4th choice though, 4th choice.

If JB or Tarkwoski pulls a hammy in pre season then Keane starts opening day. If either do a ligament on 1st September then Keane plays all season. 4th choice though so don’t worry.

It’s the same for every team in the league.

We'd have to be dramatically unlucky. Also, just reading the room it's obvious we're after a RB. See the Tete saga.

Can’t think of too many CBs in the league who can’t deal with a long ball into the channel.

I don’t think it is the same. If United consider Yoro and Martinez their first choice pairing they have De Ligt and Maguire, both miles better than Keane and they’re actively seeking for better.

Spurs have Van der Ven, Romero, Danso Dragosin

These are the two worst teams of the sky six, I’m not even getting into the teams at the top of the table.

Keane is miles away from what we need to even get back to challenging for Europe. If he plays we drop points, simple as that. He can undo a decent performance in one moment as he has done many many times. Just look at the results the last few seasons when Branthwaite and Tarkwoski play vs when Keane plays.

Yeah they have all of them and yet still finished below us when we had Keane as our 4th choice and making 14 appearances.

Under Moyes he made 5 appearances and we got 12 points.

And if Pickford's arm falls off we'll be playing Harry Tyrer. What's your point?
