2024/25 Michael Keane

[windymiller]

I don't think anyone is saying he's far and away the best possible 4th centre half choice for any club in the world though are they, so that's a bit disingenuous. We offered contracts to Young, Doucoure, DCL etc and the list of people we're supposedly interested in for right back (a position a lot of people have seen as an area we need to improve as a priority) are all free transfers. Reading between the lines, we just don't have a lot of money to spend, and they believe resigning Keane is at least as good an option as signing someone like him on a free. It's a long way from ideal, but realistic it's always looked like something that might happen, and for fairly obvious reasons.

I've been saying for months we won't have loads to spend. But bad players are bad players. We should get rid of them and their enormous wages when we have the opportunity. If Michael Keane is part of our squad there is a very good chance that he will play games for us. History shows us that that goes poorly a lot more frequently than it goes well.

He brings either horror or sheer glee, and there’s only those two ends of the spectrum with him, there’s no in between.
