Read this back... It sounds like you said we could have used Keane in this deal, BUT instead, gave him a new contract. It didn't make sense.
Anyhow... Do Southampton even want or need a central defender who isn't good enough to be 4th choice at a 13th place prem team, but would be such an asset to a team going for the Championship title?
not a chance a coach like will still wants keane. isnt he an uber progressive
