I'd feel that the Irish striker was not given much chance to prove himself.  7 goals in 28 games after 6 months. That's just over 9 games every 2 months. He scored in every 4th game, and average around a goal a month. For 20 million, you expect more than that. He was useless, couldn't fit into our system, and to change the system to accomodate, Keane, it would mean hindering Torres. We bought Torres for 20 mil, and we got our money's worth, We paid a similar amount for Keane, and he was as useful as a glass hammer, he showed once or twice what he could do, but apart from that, he just used up a position on the pitch. The amount of games I watched, and saw him fluff a pass or shot, was incredible. Every time, i thought "we paid 2o million for that fluffed shot" At Tottenham, he can score once every four games and everythings great, but for us, that's not enough to get into the first team permanently, and not enough to oust Torres. We should never have bought him, 40 mil on Villa, would be better value than 20 mil on Keane. All this about "he didn't get a good chance" or "he didn't get a fair crack of the whip" is bull, Keane had his chance to finally show that he can play for a top team, and he blew it. He's been playing in this country for the best part of a decade, so he knew the opposition, he was surrounded by quality players, better players than Tottenham, so the excuse is that Benitez didn't give him a chance, well 28 games suggests otherwise. |
