Nonsense. For a player averaging 13 goals a season?

Wrong. Ledley King is the captain.

Wrong again - and not even close to being close

For sure....but Rafa likes his rotation policy, and that will screw Keane
up. He is at his best when he plays every game regularly. If he doesn't play
regularly he becomes a petulant twat who can be disruptive
As for winning the Prem, do you honestly think that one player of Keanes
quality is going to brifge the gulf between youn and Man U? He will score
goals, but if you think you're getting another Torres, you'll be very
disappointed.
I saw Torres score against us at WHL last season, and I actually applauded
his goal it was so good. Keane isn't in the same league as him.
I have no malice towards Keane ( I still have a shirt with his name and
number on it)...but I wish he could have behaved like a man, and told the
supporters the truth.
