We'd have stayed up anyway, in the end.Has his goal against Crystal Palace when we were 2-0 down more than made up for it? Similar logic is being used for Doucoure. He’s 45 minutes away, at best, of making a defensive mistake and with it it changes the atmosphere of the crowd and the team so he simply cannot be lingering around until a testimonial. Purge the club of these wastrels!
At best his goals/gaffs ratio probably are in a slight deficit. I'd be interested to see if any of resident stattos have 10 mins.
Serious point on Keane: for the money paid he's been a serious let down. Smaller fee and I suspect many might go easier on him. Or with a smaller wage he'd have been easier to move on.
