My sentiments exactly and he is a leader in the pitch so if we got him for peanuts then I'd welcome him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I always thought Keogh had a decent bit of pace on him? Brings the ball out of defence too. Played 50 games a season for derby 4/5 years running so can't be bad. Ayala would be the best we have been linked with though, but Nixon doesn't get many wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'd try to resign Sasso then move Hutch to CB sorted then with them 4 and Lee, O'grady, Thorniley as back ups. We need to be spending our money on pace out wide imo to give us a different dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbottom14 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I just don't see this player as the improvement we need for a top 2 finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 He ticks all the boxes our scouts look for! Slow and was held in quite high regard 5 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markowski77 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Should have been quick off the mark and gone in for Curtis Davies would have been a great foil for lees unfrotunatley we didn't show any intention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Whenever I seen him play I always think that he'd be sent off if he played for us. He gets away with loads of snidey fouls - the handball sort of summed him up for me. Tbf to him he must know how to play the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We felt replacing Antonio with Stevie May was a good idea but it didn't stop him going somewhere else and being the best player in the league did it ? That's not true though is it?! We didn't sell Antonio so that we could sign Stevie May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Keogh, underwhelming especially if we have to pay a fee. He'll be on decent wages and we'd probably be doing Derby a favour taking him off their books. The bottom line though is he really an upgrade on Loovens?

Bluesteel Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Keogh and Ayala would be more cost effective than Hanley and Ayala I'd have thought. Ayala is more of a modern centre half whilst Keogh is just one of those horrible knee in the backside types and I think we have use for both types.

Keogh does just that. He likes to surge up the pitch with the ball. Carlos type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of our centre halves that started the game doesn't necessarily need to be surpassed but we just need more depth there. IMO I think a younger player like Ayala would help on the age front though as both Loovens and Keogh are getting on a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 To be fair to Derby they've played a blinder getting Curtis Davies, if we're all looking at post 30 year old centre halves then he's probably the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As would Ayala, although if I could just sign 1 then it would be Ayala over Keogh. I like his aggression. I agree, if we signed him today, he would be our best defender. Lees, Loovens, Hunt, Sasso, Pudil and Palmer are currently on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loovens did well last season, better than I expected in terms of play and injuries, but he is bound to be slowing down and although good in the air he is also very pedestrian in his passing when we are trying to build from the back.

Maybe, but we continued to keep a lot of clean sheets, in terms of their ability to defend then it's just keeping that standard rather than having to gamble on Sasso or semedo.
