Romey 1878 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I thought he was excellent today. I was really impressed with his forward passing - something I hadn't noticed he had in his game. Obviously he's a big, strong lad who's got the usual attributes you'd expect from an 'old fashioned' centre back but actually I thought he looked very comfortable in possession today. What do you reckon our chances are of signing him? If City and Chelsea really are after him too it'll be very difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 What do you reckon our chances are of signing him? If City and Chelsea really are after him too it'll be very difficult. Depends if he's settled in the North West with Chelsea link and how much love he has for Man U with the City link. I don't necessarily see him as a first choice target for either to be honest - think Conte will look to Italy and Pep will have 'bigger' targets - possibly van Dijk or back in for Laporte. I know Keane was a high priority for Walsh/Leicester last summer and Koeman has made no secret of our interest so I'd say we've got a decent chance. I fully expect him to get his first cap in the upcoming internationals which will no doubt create more interest/hype.

gethinO Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have to say that I've been very,very impressed with him every time I've watched him play this season. He's a proper Centre half in terms of defending and as mentioned in the comments above he's very decent on the ball as well. At 23, his best years are ahead of him so I would be chuffed if we pulled this one off. Burnley are likely to demand at least £30 million though and you can't blame them really. I can see Jags and possibly Mori leaving in the summer so I think Keane + another CB (Van Dijk please) will be coming in to join Holgate and Williams at the back.

Aidan Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Doubt that there would have had such on obscure clause in the contract. Surly everyone he has scouted whilst at Leicester would count as a "Leicester target", what would be the point in signing him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Would have been a specific list of targets that they would have had to have contacted clubs about.... I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Lukaku made him look weak on that turn. Wasn't impressed with him today. Like when we went up against kone of Sunderland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I prefer the hull centre half, Mcquire. He's been impressive this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 He's a big lad. Good in the air comfortable on the ball. Got turned far too easy by Lukaku but the lads still learning that's why he's not at United, Chelsea etc. He'd be a good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got turned far too easy by Lukaku but the lads still learning that's why he's not at United, Chelsea etc. He'd be a good signing. Was very naive for the turn - he should played Rom on his right side even though it meant playing him inside. Ideally he needed to be arm length not touch tight. That's the athletic and size advantage that Rom has though - needs to use it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 He dealt with Lukaku well until that point. He was culpable for one of the other goals as well. Just not blown away by him, solid but not blown away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 He's a quality young player still gaining experience, I'd be more than happy to have him here alongside Holgate as our future middle two This lad and Trippier and I'd be very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 A lot of very good defenders have fallen for that move. I for one won't be holding it against Keane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 My dad and I took a Burnley fan to the game yesterday - he says that Keane is their best player by far and thinks he could play at the very top level. He was saying how comfortable on the ball he is but primarily a good old fashioned defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 SSN say he will be leaving Burnley this summer. Fingers crossed it's to Goodison Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Spurs are making noises about signing him. They'd be more attractive with their Champions League position all but secure and the London lifestyle. But then again, we can pretty much match Spurs for wages these days and he's a northern boy so it depends if he wants to uproot his family. That's my way of looking at it.

markjazzbassist Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 also he wouldn't start for spurs, just be bench rotatrion. he would likely start and replace jags for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
