2024/25 Michael Keane

[Noisy noise annoys]

No one of note is coming here to be 4th choice

 

[NathDogg]

Probably not good for the development of a youth player to sit on the bench all season aside from 1 or 2 games/sub appearances

True, but I’d sooner that than the option of Keane there.

 

[Lanolin]

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.

Walsh out on loan was supposed to be the next Dave Watson ?

which Walsh?

which Walsh?

The big tall lad - looked good last pre season or have we sold him blond hair I think ?

Are you thinking of Reece Welch? He’s a CB we’ve loaned out the last 2 seasons.

Yes that's the lad - played in one friendly looked very good we have a habbit of loaning out better players than Keane.....

He has been on loan in league 2 and in Belgian 2nd division.
He's also not a big blonde lad !

Welch isn’t close to being good enough.

We should be offering big Mick to the Saudis. He will be elegible for their national side and worth serious wedge.

Mick Al Keane

Mick Al Keane

….he’s out of contract so we don’t offer him to anybody.

 

[Toffeelover]

Will he offer himself ? or probably he is trying to squeeze another contract out of us.

 

[sbbefc]

Unless his wages are slashed by 75% we shouldn't go near resigning him.

I think what you are trying to say is that he’s an absolutely gargantuan fanny.

….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.
