Honey Honey Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Quote Liverpool will join Merseyside rivals Everton in pursuit of Burnley centre-back Michael Keane after the 24-year-old's impressive England debut against Germany. (Daily Mail) Played for England so now the inevitable step up is being touted. Where should he go? How far can he go?
Administrator Stan Posted March 24, 2017 Administrator Posted March 24, 2017 Probably added £20m to his price tag with that England appearance so no doubt silly figures of £30m-40m will be flung around.
HK85 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Would definitely have him here. Probably better than all our centre halves and would suit the way we currently defend.
Toony Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Thought he was very good the other night, plays the ball out well from the back which is something a lot more teams are trying to do nowadays. He'd fit in well at either of the Merseyside clubs and Man City probably isn't a bad shout either.
Dave Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Well the move is imminent now he's played well for England. I'd like to see him at Man City of all the big clubs. Him and Stones creating a partnership would be best for English football. All you have to do is look at how Smalling created that goal for Middlesborough last weekend to recognise he cannot be trusted.
Storts Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 We're after him as well. Think every top 6 side will want him. Can see Chelsea going in for him as well as the Cahill replacement.
True Blue Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I remember Salford Kel used to lose herself over the mention of his name.

DeadLinesman Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 It's amusing how regularly we fuck off talent by placing shite players out of position and then look what happens. Surely there's a buy back clause in the contract?
The Liquidator Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 He should stay where he is for at least another season, as long as his club stay in the Premier. How better to learn your trade than playing for a club who are more often than not on the backfoot defending against better players. Sure has done him a power of good this season and you have to wonder what kinda buy back or percentage United have on him?

Cicero Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I rate Gibson higher, although Keane is definitely a solid defender. More reliable than Stones. He'd improve Liverpool's back line as well as Spurs if they go three at the back.

Smiley Culture Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 He'd be silly to join Arsenal, United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool or Tottenham IMO. He'd be best to join Everton I reckon because he'll play regularly at a side at the right end of the Premier League.
Spike Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Speaking of Will Keane, what the shit happened to James Wilson?
LFCMadLad Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 We need a left footed CB to partner Matip. Someone like Sakho would be perfect.

Cicero Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 2 minutes ago, LFCMadLad said: Why what? Why do you need a left footed CB to partner Matip? If a player is good with the ball at his feet, which Keane is, it doesn't really matter if he is LCB or RCB.
LFCMadLad Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Just now, Cicero said: Why do you need a left footed CB to partner Matip? If a player is good with the ball at his feet, which Keane is, it doesn't really matter if he is LCB or RCB. It gives better balance. It's not crucial granted and two right footed CB's can make a good partnership but if you can get a right and left footer playing well together it's better because each player is most comfortable on their side of the pitch. The way we play with both fullbacks pushing high up the pitch often means that the CB's cover the full back positions so in our case it would help more than it would other teams.

Agree, matters a lot to us to have vertonghen on the left side and Dier/Toby on the right.
