Swalker Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 In my opinion it looks like Schlupp could be heading to united permanently with Keane possibly coming here. Just wondered of the 2 players, who would people rather have. I know their completely different players but if you could have one of them who would you have?
Webbo Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 We have no chance of signing him but if we could I'd want Keane.
Harry - LCFC Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 Keane won't stay here. Too good for a 19 year old. Not really sure Schlupp will be leaving either, he's decent and that but if he couldn't start regularly for us then I wouldn't have thought he'd be good enough for United in the future.
Libertine Dream Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 Id take Keane but we have no chance of a permanent, they must see him as a future Man Utd and possibly England centre half
Swalker Posted 27 February 2013 Author Posted 27 February 2013 We have no chance of signing him but if we could I'd want Keane. That's what I thought but hearing more rumours that the deal could be we get Keane if they get Schlupp. But it's probably just rumours I just wanted to know who people would rather have

No contest. Keane at 19 is already heavily involved in the best defence in the championship. The kid could be one of the best centre backs in the game in a few years. We have no chance of signing him.

No doubt he's a top class player
Soar Fox Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 Did Man Utd rate Ryan Shawcross as highly as they do Michael Keane? I'm only asking because Man Utd agreed to sell Shawcross but with a clause that they get first refusal on a future deal. Maybe that could be a possibility if any deal was to be done with us signing Keane.
5waller5 Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 It's a tough one .... Schlupp still shades it for me .... maybe out of loyalty to someone that i don't think has been given a fair chance of a run in the side for someone of his ability.
ousefox Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 Can't believe keane is only a year older than me. He is going to be one hell of a player. His distrubution is great too. I'd argue he's already better than Whitbread and SSL
Dan Posted 27 February 2013 Posted 27 February 2013 Keane. Think he's a certain Prem player in the future, an absolute certain.
NewburyFox Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Keane, no contest. So composed for such a young player. Got a huge future.
AKCJ Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 They'll both be PL quality. But I think Keane will be International quality.
Alf Bentley Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Schlupp, probably for sentimental, irrational reasons. I like the idea of the club occasionally developing its own talent. Keane is probably a better player at the moment. Whether he ends up as good as some think is anyone's guess. Certainly has potential, but further improvement needed before he's Premiership quality, never mind international. In the short-term, I wouldn't be surprised if he loses his team place to St. Ledger or Whitbread towards the back end of this season. Good luck to him, though. He's performed very impressively for a young lad without much 1st team experience at this or any level.

He's performed very impressively for a young lad without much 1st team experience at this or any level. I know they play in completely different positions, but I'd say Michael Keane's very reminiscent of Tom Cleverley in terms of ability when he was here - you just knew that lad would go on to bigger things when he was here. If we go up then maybe it will be with us, but I think it's more likely that Man U will take the usual route and loan him out to a prem team next season to see if he can make he step up in quality before deciding whether he's got a future at the club. EDIT: Oh, and I'd take Keane over Schlupp in a heartbeat. Schlupp's got potential but he's got a way to go before he realises it. Keane's already well on the way to realising his. In an ideal world though, we'd be able to keep both of them! Hopefully Evra's been giving Schlupp a few lessons at LB and he can come back here raring to go...
Langston Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Did Man Utd rate Ryan Shawcross as highly as they do Michael Keane? I'm only asking because Man Utd agreed to sell Shawcross but with a clause that they get first refusal on a future deal. Maybe that could be a possibility if any deal was to be done with us signing Keane. I think United had a glut of quality centre halves coming through their ranks (Evans included) when Shawcross was with them, Fergie admitted he made a mistake letting him go, mind. Think Paul McShane was kept over him...
Babylon Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 I'm not sure this is even a contest. Shlupp failed to make much of an impact upfront in any game not against lower league oppo, he showed a lot of promise at left back but that is all it was. Keane looks a much more polished player at this moment in time.
Oxfordfox83 Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Said Schlupp, for one naive reason and one sensible reason. Naively, I like the fact we've been part of Schlupp's development: it feels like he's one of ours and that does matter. Realistically, Schlupp could be a very good reason to watch Leicester in the coming (Premiership!) years-our Gareth Bale (parade-pissers: I know, but both exciting, attacking left backs who may move forward as careers develop). Keane will almost certainly be excellent, and then bought by a big boy, and while money is lovely, players are more exciting.
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Could we try for a straight swap with us getting first option if Schlupp goes out on loan and Man U getting first option if we sell Keane? That way we could end up with both!
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Look at the results!!! For those that don't believe there is any racism at the club, I think this tells you all you need to know and that it's closer to home than many think.
jamesmilner Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Rumours are rumours . All the staff at Manu rate this guy to be theirs and England's centre back . I think that tells you all you need to know .
coolhandfox Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Keane for me, excellent at this level and could be a good PL CB in the furture. It take a lot to become a first teamer at Man U and Keane has Evans, Jones, Smalling ahead of him at the moment, plus no real sign of Rio and Vidic hang up there boots. Man U may well want to cash in.
dynamark Posted 28 February 2013 Posted 28 February 2013 Easy enough for us to strike a deal to sign/loan keane with united having first option if they need him back which is not that likely for a year or two.He has been getting some serious game experience with us.Schlupp I wouldnt want to see going anywhere permanently.May be the clincher though to keep mufc happy
