Yes, we've seen a few calamitous moments over the years, but even in a season (this season) in which he's arguably been one of our best players if not our best player, still it's only ever said begrudgingly through gritted teeth. It's as though no-one's willing to accept the fact that Keane is actually a pretty decent player.

He was signed on again as our 4th choice, and he's done a largely excellent job for a prolonged period of time this season when he's been called upon.

Only insanity would lead any club to sell a 4th choice centre half that's been playing to his standard.

Next summer, we will I'm sure look at his situation again, but any talk of his exit prior to then is the talk of imbeciles or those with a grudge.
