what do you lot think, i reckon we should buy him next year
i reckon Owen Hargreaves is the next keano (or his replacement after he leaves),
- Thread starter gulli_G
- Start date
I rate Colin Healy as the next Keano, he just has not been given his chance yet at Celtic but the few times he's played for Ireland he has looked like a veteran. He is going to be a phenomenon. 
he's good, isn't he?
though an arsenal fan by all accounts, unfortunately. . .

Sorry mate, I just don't see the same fire in yer belly, bites your legs, get on the end of things in the box, win at any cost, short fuse, combatative streak that made Keano so special from such an early age.
Keano's a one-off. I remember SAF being asked what he see's in players and he used Keano as the example. Fergie's answer was simple - Vision. He reckon's Keano has vision in bucket loads. I think what he meant was a player who plays with his head up. Always looking for an opponent to pass to or receive from . It is a part of Roy's game that is sadly over-looked. He has tremeduous vision, even it is the vision to play a simple ball.
No disrespect to Hargreaves, who is undoubtedly a fine talent in his own right, but he's only a shadow of the player Keano is. I just don't see it, but them I suppose I'm amn't paid to spot up and coming new Keano's

I reckon Hargreaves could replace Gerrard for England instead of Butt...
Is that true Keano had a row with irish coach ? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

think of how he will be when he gets to keano's present age!!!
Apart from rushing around and making a nuisance of himself for the full 90 mins, what exactly does Hargreaves do for a team ?
As for being touted as Keane's eventual replacement that's patently ridiculous on current evidence.

there will never be another Keano.
Hargreaves is a good box to box player though. Can also play either flank. Arsenal are sniffing around him, i wouldnt mind Fergie adding him to our squad.

Even he was a target of our I couldn't see Bayern letting him go to Old Trafford.
It ain't gonna happen.
It ain't gonna happen.
the reason i started this post was to see if anyone comes even as half as close to keano, because in a few years time he will be replaced, due to his age.
so we need the best there is at that time, aspart from gerrard, only hargreaves comes to mind.
my criteria would be he would preferably be british/irish and have the burning am,bition to continue and make manchester united a dominant force, and best club in the world.
but he has to be the best, but if a another viera or someone like him comes along then i would not mind him, i just wanted to get an idea of who would replace keano cus he will need replacing in about 4 years time.

I reckon Nicky Butt is the next Owen Hargreaves.
I think Owen Hargreaves in Keano`s position would be like sending a kiddy with a plastic rifle to Afganistan. Don`t even think about it!
Am I alone? I am fed up with hearing about who we should buy - how about bloody talking about our youngsters and who we should be developing.
This club has the resources to find and develop the best youngsters in Britain but what is happening? Bring back the youth policy - is it coincidence we won the League again and again with our developed youngsters - Becks, Giggsy, Scholesy, etc - leading the way?

I rated Owen Hargreaves highly. You can forget all olders players now because currently Gerrard and him (both below 22) are already the best DM of England.
But back to the original questions in the topic: Firstly there is only one Keano, and I don't see Hargreaves process the burning fighting spirit, motivation and team influence as Keano. Secondly, about the replacement issue, I think that depends on how much will he progress in these few years and what is the price tag will Bayen placed on him.

Think on this: Keano could have played his last game of football!
It sounds like a mental breakdown caused by self inflicted pressure. If so he is going to have to take an extended holiday.
He may never come back.
SAF to the rescue though!

Christ. I hadn't thought about it like that. Now I'm really depressed.
There will never be another Roy Keane!!!!1 <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" /> <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" /> <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" /> <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" /> <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
What year did SAF buy Keane?Also how many seasons did Robbo have left at MUFC after Keane arrived?
I think we need to replace Keano now.I think Owen Hargreaves would be a step in the right direction.
I can remember everyone saying they is only one Bryan Robson!!!
Then Keane came along.
There is always someone coming along.
The King is dead,long live the King!!

u wouldn't mind gigs would ya
Owen H is a good tackler, controls his zone well, can play left or right of midfield and is a good long ball passer. What I like is he seems to learn in every match and has a useful burst of speed.
NO He is no Roy Keane, doesnt show the same fire yet BUT he is one to look out for.
PITY he is an arsenal supporter....but Teddy played fantastic for us and he is true blue Hotspur.

I definitely agree with buying Hargreaves, I think he's an amazing prospect - good tackler, agressive, quick, good distribution and fights for his team.
Could well be the man to replace keano whenever he decides to call it a day. Plus Becks is his hero so he might swing it our way if a bidding war ensues!!
