2024/25 Michael Keane


It only takes a Tarkowski set back in his rehab and a late sale of Branthwaite and he'll be right back in the starting 11.

He was excellent against Newcastle and Fulham away, but unfortunately thats not the norm. The norm is the likes of when he came on against Man City and the whole back line fell to pieces.

He's just not the type of player who can sit on the bench for 10 games then come in seamlessly when called up. It seems to take him a while (understandably) to get himself up and running, then he needs everything to go right so as not to affect his confidence.
In that case the issue wouldn't be giving Keane a new contract, it would be selling/not replacing Branthwaite. It's a completely different argument really.

I think what you are trying to say is that he’s an absolutely gargantuan fanny.
 
Yes that's the lad - played in one friendly looked very good we have a habbit of loaning out better players than Keane.....

….you clearly haven’t watched him for U21s these last few seasons or followed his his loan spells at Forest Green and in Belgium ;) He’s not better than Keane, if he was he’d be involved.

He was on the bench (I think) for the Newcastle game.
