Roy Keane - Worst Transfers Ever?

[Slim]

If they stay up it will be a job well done.
It`s a bit expensive, but that`s what you get if you limit your buys to the UK.

Good point. Domestic players are much more expensive. He should have just bought a job lot of cheap foreign imports.

[The_weatherman]

How many players did he bring in? Are there any left from those who got the team promoted, Nosworthy aside?

[Nic83]

Hahahaha.


Nah seriously, McShane will be a top player. O Donavan - I'm just going on other peoples say so.

Kenyne Jones the same.

The keeper I think will be a top keeper too but a lot of money!

I only said harte was decent!!

(ps put him in your fantasy footy team. 4mil and dead ball expert)

Harte is ****e.

[Shaggy]

Harte is definitely ****e but he does (or at least he used to) take a good free kick and has a good record from the spot. In his Leeds days he was always the left-back in my Fantasy Football team for those reasons.

[Nic83]

I like to look at full backs more in an attacking sense in this day and age. he whips in a lovely ball!!

But yes, defensively he's rotten.

[Redlife]

Are they so bad considering what the other "small" teams have bought? Maybe overpriced but hardly shockingly bad signings?

Derby: Tyrone Mears, Robert Earnshaw, Andy Todd, Lewis Price, Andy Griffin, Benny Feilhaber, Eddie Lewis.

Fulham: Diomansy Kamara, Aaron Hughes, Steven Davis, Chris Baird, Paul Konchesky, David Healy, Lee Cook, Adrian Leijer, Hameur Bouazza, Kasey Keller.

Boro: Tuncay Sanli, Jeremie Aliadiere, Jonathan Woodgate, Luke Young, Mido.

Reading: Kalifa Cisse, Emerse Fae.

Wigan: Carlo Nash, Mario Melchiot, Titus Bramble , Antoine Sibierski, Jason Koumas, Michael Brown.

Everton: Phil Jagielka, Steven Pienaar, Leighton Baines, Stefan Wessels, Yakubu. (Could't help myself )

Jeees I'm bored..........

Villa are another one. They've spent a lot of money on some very average players.

[Shaggy]

Villa are another one. They've spent a lot of money on some very average players.

Martin O'Neill never lets the side down on that front.

Zat Knight is a bizarre buy. O'Neill was talking about how he has "great potential". He's 27 FFS!

[Ritchi3]

Keane has wasted a lot of money, that's inarguable. There's the odd good buy in there. But when he's getting the likes of Ian Harte, you know there's something wrong.

I actually think Richardson is a good buy for them, he'll do well down there.

I can see them going down though, and I hope they do. Although my feelings against Roy have diminished a little since he retired.

He scares the ball into the net!!

And Reo-Coker for £8.5m?


That's a lot of marbles.

[Redlife]

If he plays and improves till he's 60, that could be a good buy.
