Getting dogs abuse from his own fans on Twitter. Could he come back?

I'd take him back tomorrow.

Because i'm busy tonight.

Tonked 4-1 away at Rennes today so assume he had a bad game.

Yes no point in having him back. Have you seen the quality of our subs bench?

Not under Dyche he wouldn't be.
He'd be back to his pre-move best.

Might have to bide his time, though.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:18 pm

can he play number 10 ?

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:22 pm

Would have him back in a breath. Best defender ive seen play (permanently) for us. Cahill being the only one better.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:24 pm

He'd be good again under Dyche but he wouldn't get straight back in.

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Sat Jul 28, 2018 11:26 pm

Yep, I would have him back in a heartbeat.. Would take the pressure off the contract situation with Mee.

Nothing suggesting he is for sale though.

Class player. Would have him back in a heartbeat.

Fans don't pick the team (fortunately). Michael Keane is a quality defender who will prove it some time in the future.

Braindead · Post by **Braindead** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 12:25 am

Brilliant strong defender who grew into the best central defender I've ever seen in claret and blue.

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:24 am

Are the Everton fans still making him a scapegoat?

Steve-Harpers-perm · Post by **Steve-Harpers-perm** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:27 am

Excellent defender when he played for us.

taio · Post by **taio** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:35 am

Brilliant for us. Couldn't give a toss about how he's done at Everton. You'd have to be a complete fool to look at it the other way round i.e. kbrfc

Why would he want to be 3rd choice or even 4ymth at Burnley?

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 10:04 am

If we could get him back for 15-20m itd be a great bit of business.

May not have to be the case with the modern view of 3 at the back - personally I’d love a back three of Mee, Tarkowski and Keane giving our wingbacks some freedom to attack the wings.

Played golf last Friday with a Scouse business man who happens to be a big Evertonian. When he realised I was a Claret he started on a rant about how poor Keane was and how we'd mugged them. I don't know what went on when he arrived at Everton but Keane has certainly gone backwards in his development since he signed for them.
I'd have him back though, for the right price

He signed for a set of fans with ridiculous expectations who have hounded out most of their recent good managers. He moved their to play under Koeman and ended up playing for Unsworth, Allerdyce and now Silva. In less than a year.

Hes also played alongside the past it Jagielka and Williams, the aging Baines and plenty of rookies. Their only other good defender, Seamus Coleman has had a serious injury.

Wont be long before they wany Silva out.

Theyre currently a scouse leeds!

Im a fan of Tarkowski, but he was not at his best towards the end of last season.
It would be great to have him fighting for his place against Keane.
As mentioned we might consider playing 3 at the back.
But most obviously we need a quality CB, and Keane would be every bit as good as Dawson or Mawson. He knows the Burnley way, and Dyche rates him.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 11:41 am

I'd take him back in a heartbeat,if he was available,can't see it happening though,

I can see Leicester sniffing if Maguire goes to Old Trafford,do we have a sell on clause does anyone know.

Tell that to the Everton fans....... it's no coincidence that soon as he leaves we become a better team and actually win an away game, meanwhile Everton's away form last year was shocking with Keane.

Ah yes, he was the only change to the squad, that's clearly why we started doing better...

Stones was "rubbish" for two years (last one at Everton and first at City). His alleged ineptitude didn't stop him being an ever-present in City's record-breaking title side and the England team that reached the World Cup Semi-Finals.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 3:12 pm

If you put any of our current defenders in a different system with far less protection, then they would all look like a fish out of water.

He didn't have a good season but you can't make as many excuses for him that Cricketfield has.

Are you referring to last season?
Where he made 18 PL appearances?

Not bad for ever present I suppose and he will be lucky to make that amount next season.

He'd get in our team..Maybe not straight away but he would eventually. Smashing footballer

fatboy47 · Post by **fatboy47** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 4:50 pm

Our best centre half since Waldron.

Far less howlers than Tarks..far more ability than Mee..and playing at a much higher level than Cahill did here....and 2 yards quicker than the lot of them. If KRBFC isnt fishing then he's thick. He's a knob either way.

A wonderful way to get away from things has to be a game of golf but this post then turned into one of Dante's 'nine circles of hell' at the thought of it being invaded by a ranting Scouse business man with the added irony of being 'mugged' by some woolybacks.

I can see their logic in that, but it’s flawed in that they didn’t see how consistently well he played for us (and improved) over three seasons.

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 5:27 pm

The co efficient's here are Mee and Dyche.

Take a decent defender and put them alongside a a game reader and a manager that understands how to defend and you have a formulae.

Keane, Tarks and Long have so far benefitted - we need to shoe horn in a replacement for Mee quickly for this continue to bear fruition.

No one has said Mee is going unless you definitely know different, if so please spill the beans.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 6:01 pm

I'd love to have Michael Keane back at Burnley. He hasn't suddenly become a bad player. I think it's clear that he isn't offered the same sort of protection and support at Everton. Get him back at Burnley and he'd be top class all over again.
