2017/18 Michael Keane

[Abraders]

Sell.

Knew this lad was a fraud.

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Got no balls...

 

[ah11984]

Gormless. Dopey. Passive. Soft.

 

[Saaby]

Whose worse out of this lad and Klaassen? Hard to decide on our worst signing.

Don't we have like 5 players in contention for worst signing of the season. Amazing how they got it so wrong

 

[Big Fat Sam]

My brother says he looks like he has no idea where he is. I think that's quite true, too. Shocking player.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Can’t believe how this guys considered a 30m CB. Getting my head around the fact he’s a professional footballer is hard enough....

 

[CRIMHEAD]

He does seem soft and certainly lost. In his defense, he got hurt earlier - he was one of the few contributing anything at the beginning of the season before that. He's clearly got size, decent quickness, and definitely has remarkable pace for his size. Think his foot skills are fine - keep in mind, genius Ashley Williams had the bad giveaway today not too unlike Jimmy Mac's against Bournemouth, maybe not quite as pathetic.

You gotta hope with his physical tools, he'll be okay in the longer run. But I didn't like the deal, either at the time. Klaassen was worse as it was unecessary, although the fact that they won't give him a look when our central midfield looks THAT bad is a joke. He's better than a couple of those jokers for sure.

The Harry McGuire shouts are a bit silly. I thought he'd be a better buy from a cost/benefit standpoint myself, but I'll admit now that Keane has way more upside than him. McGuire may have balls, but his athleticism isn't in the same league. LCFC has conceded 32 goals this year. It's not like they are playing great defense.

I just don't understand a lot of the things he does.

For a center back he seems awfully afraid of a tackle but yet at the same time seems to constantly get sucked towards the ball and let players run on behind him into space.

Lost and indecisive. When he's decisive, he's effective though. I still have SOME hope.

 

[Seanjd]

He's learned well from Ashley Williams and turned into a yard dog, meanwhile Williams has remembered how to defend again but not told him.

 

[Swartzy]

Does make you wonder if we purchased off YouTube highlights rather then actual scouting of the players, anyone can look good in highlights but it's how they perform in tough games/situations your looking for and other then pickford and possibly vlasic ( tho we've killed any confidence he had ourselves) they're like little kids on there first day at a new school! Tho maybe it's not so much themselves it's the lack of confidence in the players around them

I don't know, Sam Dyche was emphatic in his praise for Keane last year. He was clearly good at one point. Think he needs a run of games, still.

 

[Frank Butcher]

I thought he might have turned a corner after the Chelsea game but apparently not. He is probably on treble the wages young Holgate is on (at least) but he is consistently our worst centre back whenever he plays. Dyche must be laughing all the way to the bank. Fraud..

 

[sanctioned]

Relax, took Stones time to settle down.
We need a manager that can develop players and give him confidence, not something fat sam is known for.
