Keane linked to Barca do we have a sell on clause

[Woodleyclaret]

Ronald Koeman is exploring signing Micheal Keane. Did we include a sell on clause in the original deal?

Let's not be too greedy. We might find Koeman coming in for Ben Mee next.

Oh, and a good keeper....

[TheOriginalLongsider]

So day one in the job and his focus is on Michael Keane ? ********

[Woodleyclaret]

Hes hit the ground running following on from the Bayern result and looking to rejuvenate his squad

[tiger76]

Given how Barca defended against Bayern, then it's no great surprise Koeman is seeking fresh defenders, they were abysmal.

If Michael Keane gets his dream move, then good luck to the lad, it says a lot about Sean Dyche and his hard work in improving players , that first Trippier, and now Keane, are going to be playing in La Liga at the top clubs, and competing in the CL regularly, after we picked both up for peanuts and turned them into highly rated big money signings.

A sports journalist guide to reporting potential transfers

Who is the new manager?
Who did he manage last?
Where does the current team need improving?
Which players did he work with at his previous team?
Is one of those players potentially available?
Where’s my laptop?

[cricketfieldclarets]

Wouldnt be surprised if he went there. Top defender and Koeman will know him well.

[NewClaret]

Anyone know if we’ve got a sell on clause? Assume it would only be on anything above £30m anyway?

You'd hope we have some sort of clause. Knowing us probably only 15%.

If Keane did go to Barca does anyone think Tarks is good enough to replace him at Everton and would Everton be interested?

Personally I think he could make the step up but the fans would need some patience and the Everton coaching team would need to do some good work to bring him up to that level and style of play

More a case of bringing the rest of the Everton team up to his level. For a club of that standing to have such a very poor team and squad is beyond negligent.

Tarks is good enough to play for Everton, he's improved again this season, and thankfully for us he's cut out those daft errors. Whether Everton would be interested is another question entirely.

I'd suggest you glance at last season's league table if you don't believe Tarks is capable of stepping into Keane's shoes at Goodison, and working under Ancelotti will only improve his game further, however if Chelsea or Leicester are genuinely interested, then surely Tarks will go to either of those due to the lure of European football, which Everton can't offer this season at least.

Same was said on here about Keane when he left but it took him a bit of time to adjust and find his feet. Defending isnt quite as easy when you dont have narrow full backs and a bank of 4 midfielders sat close in front of you.

I believe Tarks has the talent but the way Dyche sets up is a defenders paradise so I think when he does make a step up it will take some adjusting and he will have to improve a few bits of his game to succeed

Ho, Hum.

Michael Keane at Barcelona? Shudder

looks out of his debt at Everton nevermind Barcelona, from what iv seen of Keane im not convinced he’s quite good enough for PL level, not surprised Everton suddenly started shipping goals and slid down the table when he came in.

Well said, tiger.
Pity a few of the Dyche-haters on here don't think that way.

If they think at all.

You’re crediting Dyche for improving players and using the fact two of our former players are going to be playing in La Liga at the top clubs which is great

The point you’re missing is Barcelona haven’t bid for Keane yet and I can assure you, Michael Keane will not be going to the Barcelona A team. So you are crediting Dyche for improving players but using newspaper BS as factual evidence?

KRBFC's well in the know with Barca.
Heaven knows how he finds the time to impart his pearls of wisdom on here..

Keane back to Burnley?!

[claretonthecoast1882]

‘and I can assure you’ what?!

He can assure you Marco Silva is a genius

[Wellsy1882]

Keane is just as good as any CB
Hes in a bad side

Whether Keane goes to Barcelona is irrelevant, the fact that Everton forked out £30m for Michael Keane is evidence that Sean Dyche had vastly improved him, hence why we made a tenfold profit when he was sold.

The main reasons MK struggled at Everton in his early days, was partly down to the way Marco Silva set his team up, and partly due to niggling injuries.

Now Everton have a manager that knows what he's doing, and Michael Keane is getting an extended run in their side he's showing why they paid all that money.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I don't think you're allowed to criticise the still unemployed Silva on here.

It's only allowed to be Keane's fault.

Do we need to read between the lines again to see another of your positive Burnley posts ?

[ClaretTony]

The injury was hardly a niggling injury, it left him hospitalised, but it was nothing to do with Marco Silva, his managers in his first season at Everton were Ronald Koeman and Sam Allardyce.

Yes sorry just Googled I didn't realise it was 4 years since Koeman got the Everton gig, where does all the time go

[KateR]

I will file this one with another well know name recently going to AC Milan in life after BFC.

[Danieljwaterhouse]

I think Tarks would be better set at Barca!
