He has been a revelation, and is almost talismanic the way he is fitting it together for us going forward. If not now, then in the summer after the Euros we should be back for him. He has 3 more seasons in him at this pace.

Life after Keane is not worth thinking about.

We need to keep him, and even make him captain. He'll be getting my vote for player of the season as well and he's not even played 3.5 games.

He has been a revalation, I guess he is playing as well now as he has ever.
Its a bit like watching Sheringham in his pomp. He has adjusted his game to play to his strengths.

A few journo's writing up our games have said that it's a travesty he's gone to the football retirement scrap heap of American soccer so soon. He's still got 2-3 years at least, until he should really be thinking of putting his feet up in the states.

I'd hope his ambition could be swayed into coming back to the Premier League, and hopefully with us. My worry would be that come the summer, a London club tempts him back dahhhnn saaaattttthh.

He's a class act though. If he came back to us longer term he could be our new Merson.

It shows the rest of the squad up that a man who struggled to get in the Spurs and Liverpool teams makes our lot look half-hearted. Eck's subbing of Ireland and his post match interview shows he thinks the same.

At times Keane seemed about to explode with exacerbation at some of the poor play against Newcastle. Therefore, if he does fancy another stab at the PL longer term, who says he would want to be at struggling club.

Arsenal seem to think they could get Henry to stay longer. We should be trying with keane.

Is it just me that has noticed Keane offers absolutely nothing when we don't have the ball?

I know he has been great, I'm just trying to understand why Mcleish is singling out N'Zogbia and Ireland for not helping defend.

Ow and when Keane leaves we need Ireland and Gardner to step up.

Let's put it this way. He seems more bothered than plenty of players that are full time.
