Yes I would, I’ve consistently said this for years.So you'd honestly rather put a youngster from the academy/Brazil in the firing line? Look at the pelters the likes of Kenny have got from sections of our support when the likes of Unsworth was playing the kids. Even Gordon was criticised and he's gone on to win a pot now. There’s just no winning sometimes I feel. JOB's treatment has been a rarity in my view. I'd hate to think how differently things would have gone for him had he made one mistake. Imagine all the "I told you so" conjecture?
I'm not a Keane advocate by any means, mate, but I just feel a dose of realism is needed. 4th choice CB is not historically a position to worry about, especially with no Europe. Look at the RS, they've just won the league, do you know who their 4th choice is? Joe bloody Gomez. I'm pretty sure Arsenal's is a Polish lad called Kiwior.
I hear the justified groans when people see Keane on the bench, coming on or in the starting 11. They know what we’re are going to get from Keane a a defensive horror show.
I don’t think we need his experience in the team, even at 4th choice.
We ship goals and points when he plays, every member of the defence performs worse when he’s there, so why not try a youngster or look for an alternative?
I don’t need your dose of realism, the reality is what I have described above.
You are describing accepting mediocrity.
