Who Do You Prefer? Week One - Eric Cantona vs Roy Keane

Strange choice really.

I think Keane would influence more games over a season than Eric but how do you leave the King out.

For a one off game Cantona, if you are building a team for the long haul then its Keano all the way IMO.
 
For me it's an impossible choice. Having them both at the height of their powers would make this side a Juggernaut. The combined will to win of Keane, Cantona, and Rooney would be awe inspiring.
 
Cantona for me.He's was far more influential than Keano.Brought to the club what was missing at the time...magic.
 
Cantona

"After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from his favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left-back. I would love him to save me a place in his team - George Best that is, not God" - Eric Cantona

"I feel close to the rebelliousness and vigour of the youth here. Perhaps time will separate us, but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music." - Eric Cantona

Eric.

Keane could be a twat at times.

What if it was a young and inspired Cantona who will be here for over 10 years?
 
Still Keane for me. Build a team up the spine, and Keane would be the first piece of the jigsaw.

I guess I can see what you say in the difference between the two, but so often Cantona was a bit like the recent Ronaldo, when it mattered they were the difference either late on in a tied match, or in a blow out before the match started; Keane probably was more important for most of the game, but the otherside worried about Cantona.
 
Roy Maurice, my favourite player ever.
 
I can't vote!

It says I can't vote repeatedly and I haven't even voted once!

I'd have voted for Eric.
 
I saw this and though Eric. Then i thought about it and thought, who would be first on the team sheet? It would have to be Keane.

Leader of men, would run through a brickwall for the team whilst dragging you kicking and screaming to victory. And he could play as well, lest we forget.
 
I bet if you forced SAF to make a choice he would take Keano.
 
needs a new poll.

but its eric for me. great admiration for keano, but theres only one king. maybe you could have compared like for like in terms of arrogance - cantona v ronaldo, who both had the same amount of time at the club really and both left early.

maybe keano v scholsey would be better, evra v irwin, beckham v giggs, hughes v rooney.vidic v brucey and rio v pally.
 
Cantona, although I've probably been swayed slightly by Keane's attitude since he left, its sort of swung things in Eric's favour.
