Didn't notice him until about 20 mins till the end when I thought 'how is keane getting on'.

Michael Keane
- Thread starter mo0
- Start date
Is there any Bardsley and Simpson about him? Possibly getting close and then not making it at United?
I hope not because I really like the lad. Seems like a really hard working young lad who loves what he is doing at United.

Last time I checked January is next year!
Don't see why you're quoting that in all honesty. It's still a fair comment whether you agree with it or not, and one game where he did quite well doesn't change it. I sort of agree with the comment also, although he still has plenty of development in him and as long as you're good enough at everything, not being outstanding at any one thing is no major deterrent.
I think the Bardsley and Simpson comparisons are not far off though I think both have more clear cut strengths than Michael Keane. He seems to me to be lacking the pace and skill to play fullback for United, nor does he possess the height and strength for centre defence. I suppose Gary Neville's progress should give him hope but few players develop as Gary did.
Both good talents, the Keanes. Don't think Michael Keane is at the level Evans was at when he was that age, but he's progressing nicely nonetheless. Both future Premiership footballers, in my opinion. Cementing a first team spot ahead of Evans, Smalling and Jones is going to be very difficult but he has definitely improved a lot in the last year or so.
He was just whining because we'd lost a game- the first we'd lost in the season. I guess I'm just frustrated with the match day doom and gloomers seeping down to youth level.
But after watching how well he played against a VERY strong Chelsea team, I wanted to show just how quickly things can change so don't just rush to judgement about the lads based on a single loss (as had happened to half the team that played Vs Spurs u-21s)
His performance against Chelsea was the opposite, with the exception of his pace which is fine. Good reading of the game, great tackling strong leadership and determination etc.
Of course there is room for development but don't just infer that a player is not good enough at 19 because the team lost one game. He's one of our most consistent and talented young defenders- he's shown that at every level.
last time i checked, January was before 'the summer' which Armchair was pointing out when he needed to bulk up.
Well it looks like he's on his way to Leicester, shows what I know 
Would be ecstatic if this is true. Hopefully, both him and Lingard get plenty of game time and help Leicester win promotion. Would be wonderful for both the guys.
Has anyone been keeping track on Leicester? How are the two guys we sold them doing?

Is he going on loan?
"Sky Sports are reporting that Jesse Lingard and Michael Keane are both poised to join Leicester on loan. The Foxes signed Ritchie De Laet and Matty James in the summer on permanent deals as they bid to gain promotion to the top flight."

Bloody hell. Is Jesse going on loan too?
I've been busy and havent kept up with the reserves over the past few weeks.
I'll have to start watching leicester now.
Clev went there too and they have Matty James and De Laet too.
edit: ahh.. todays news. thats better. I was wondering how I had missed all this.

Good move for them both now that we are outta the cup, hopefully the game is on the box tomorrow night will keep see how Keane gets on.
Best of luck to the both of em

Sounds like a good move for the both of them.
Great news - I'm excited to see how Lingard does more than anything. I have high hopes for him.
Good stuff. Will be keeping an eye on Leicester now.
Leicester have also taken an Indian youngster on trial. Hopefully he signs to and i get another team to watch when bored.
Great news and good luck to them both. Leicester has a good set up, so hopefully they will impress while they are there.
Ferguson must have a lot of faith in Pearson - he was the one that took Cleverley to Leicester while Pearson was there from 08-10 and while at Hull he picked half our old reserve-side....and now he is doing the same at Leicester again
Hopefully he does well and gets plenty of playing time over there
Reading through a Leicester City forum reacting to the loans, apparently the consensus is Keane wasn't very good against Chelsea

utter retards.
Yes the team conceded 5 in 120 mins against Chelsea, with a defence with Wootton who bottled it and Fletcher playing out of position (not to mention in the first half a poor showing from Buttner).
Keane did great but what the feck do they expect? Want us to loan them Jonny Evans just in the off chance the Blackburn sign Juan Mata, Oscar and Hazard or something?
Starts against Bolton apparently.
Should be a good test for him.
Both the twins have a very good chance of making it. Would be great if they did.

Cool. What about Jesse?
Bench
Cheers. I take it there are no streams for this one?
This. Anyone?
Let's talk about this in the loan watch threads.
Getting rave reviews at foxestalk for his performance today:
Keane - 8 - On this performance the second best centre half at the club. Hope we can extend his loan for the rest of the season
Keane 8 Very impressed with him. Played some decent balls out from the back too. Looked very composed.
Keane 8- very impressed all round CB play was spot on won headers , distribution quality
Keane - 8 - Very promising, looked capable in the air and on the turf.

sounds like he did well, albeit against a weakened/ poor Huddersfield side. Glad Matty James is getting some appreciation too after a difficult few years with his injury problems.
Very good news, hopefully he can stay fit from now on!
Forgot he was on loan there. Good to see.
Not surprised he is doing well at that level though.. He looked alright when he played in the first team here. He is certainly good enough for the championship .

Poor fella was always a bit cursed like that. Intelligent player though.
Always thought that Matty James could have turned out to be another Carrick. Seemed to have a touch of class about him...
Glad that Michael Keane had a good game. We should be getting close to seeing Will again shouldn't we?

Last we heard he was on course to return this month. Hopefully with Henriquez, King and Macheda out on loan (or going out on loan) he'll be back and firing in the second half of the u-21s season getting ready for a big season next year.
His loan has been extended till 31st Jan. Good move.
Very good that. He seems to do well so far when playing.
