Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[The Left Side]

Good pic for all those who wanted to see Keane in a villa shirt
 just a bit to late

20 years to late sadly, best of luck Roy!

He looks more like Tommy Tiernan every day.

I may be the only one, but something about that picture makes me feel slightly more optimistic about the season ahead. He looks so much more use than Culverhouse or Karsa looked to be fair, and Lambert being more hands on can't be bad. 2 of the best midfield players in their positions in the 90's, surely they might have a clue on how to make us play decent football this season.

I know. Two European Cup winning midfielders. How bad could it be? Surely they can pass something on that will benefit the group of players in their charge.

They really should have got Sid in that picture.

Keane, Lambert, with Sid just in front of them. Is there no way we can blood dope them to get them fit enough to play?

Exactly this. And I think Tommy Hitz hit the nail on the head when he talked about keane's "high standards." If you look back at any of the training photos on the OS form last season, the players (and Lambert for that matter) always look like they're having a lovely time. That's nice, but when it's 2 days after shipping 4 goals to Stoke or Swansea I'd quite like to see a little bit of shame and hurt in their eyes.

Christ almighty that would be a good midfield.

I think Monty meant they would be better than what we have now and I can't disagree.

The medals those three have prove this.

Pure speculation, but I wonder just how much an impact a midfield like that would have if we had all three in their pomp?

We wouldn't have them, for a start. Be nice to dream, though.

This is the sort of thing Team editing on Pro Evo was made for...

[Monty]

It's a balanced three as well. Lambert the holder, Sid the creator, Keane the up-and-downer. Like France this World Cup had Cabaye, Pogba and Matuidi in those positions respectively (except that the former three were all better, obviously).
