Let’s be honest the whole of the defensive unit is a bit of a shitshow.
A perfect example of how to make a mess of squad planning across a whole area of team.

Re: Michael Keane
Keane is a better footballer, with a better touch and pass and years of PL experience.
Jake is younger, faster, less injury prone, less howler prone and will improve if he gets the PL experience.
I think they’re on par as both have advantages and disadvantages. But I’ll tell you which one I’d choose to play - the one who is the future, not the one who is the past.

Re: Michael Keane
I get that it's Michael Keane so people just want rid regardless but it makes sense for all we'd get for him and with little time to find someone else who probably wouldn't be any better and cost more to get in. If we leave ourselves with 3 CB's one who we can barely get 20 games a season out of then that would be more stupid than keeping him.

Re: Michael Keane
Yeah, I think everyone gets that, it’s just annoying that we haven’t tried to get in a cb, seeing as Tarks is falling off a cliff, Branthwaite is made of glass, JOB is unfancied and wants to leave, and Michael Keane is Michael Keane.Gash wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 2:21 pm I get that it's Michael Keane so people just want rid regardless but it makes sense for all we'd get for him and with little time to find someone else who probably wouldn't be any better and cost more to get in.

Re: Michael Keane
That and left back will be our top priority next summer, might even be something we look at in Jan.sam of the south wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 2:26 pm Yeah, I think everyone gets that, it’s just annoying that we haven’t tried to get in a cb, seeing as Tarks is falling off a cliff, Branthwaite is made of glass, JOB is unfancied and wants to leave, and Michael Keane is Michael Keane.

Moyes seems to like Myko, though, and I think they’ll see AMN as adequate cover

Re: Michael Keane
Can understand why we refused to sell other wise we might have been lining up with Rohl at centre half if we got a few injuries

Re: Michael Keane
He does, but I'm hoping he likes him enough to prioritize other areas this summer which needed more of an upgrade.sam of the south wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 3:00 pm I hope so.

I'm also hoping Moyes won't be making the decisions next year.
