Roy Keane's Take On It

[Maesknoll Red]

Roy Keane was interviewed on R5 a couple of nights ago, he was putting across the difficulties in getting the right players in the transfer window, it seemed like a very similar situation to our own, but obviously a step up.

This article is a brief resume of the comments he made, especially about getting the right players and not making a big headline signing, who turns out to upset the balance.

Perhaps Keano and Gary Johnson have similar management thoughts and styles?

With one subtle difference being Gary Johnson didn't deliberately end a guy's career.

The Coventry player, Alf Inge Haaland ? I think he got a new 405 out of it, Peugeot was the sponsor back then, so not all bad.

Steve Coppell at it aswell, must be an x manc thing, i blame the oligards like that **** in charge of Chelsea and his little whore Kenyon.

also mentions that the Skuse move was bs, which we knew anyways.

The injury which ended Alf Inge Haaland's career was the other knee to the one Keane crocked.

So, to all those losing sleep over no big name signings, we're not alone, many clubs have anxious fans eagerly waiting news of the players who will take them to the top of the league. Agents will be touting their clients around, the decent agents looking to place them in clubs that give them a good wage and career development, the not so good agents, will be looking at which deal makes their own pay day the lucrative option.

I don't envy GJ the task of identifying the players he wants, then having to persaude them, then their agents and representatives, that City will be the right move for them, the players who are likely to attract interest from the Championship clubs, could see themselves with a move to Prenier club, if they wait long enough and the Premier clubs are struggling to get their intended targets. Hardly surprising that a lot of movement doesn't take place until the season is right upon us, I assume that some of the transfers that have gone through already, were done deals before the06/07 season ended.
