OohAahGuyWhittingham Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yes, Tom Lees has been outstanding for us but he cannot be used as justification for every substandard player we get linked with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the sort of £2m-£3m figure that's going around for a centre back of his age and standard is too high personally. I've seen Keogh enough times to have an opinion (although why you feel I have justify this to you is ridiculous, I can have my opinion). Hes a good championship player but for the money that we are supposedly going to pay I think you can find a young and better player for a similar price. Roberts at Barnsley, Bartley at Swansea is no doubt available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 He's not the type of player we need at the back. Pace and aerial domination are required. He has neither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom lees was a 23 year old CB who played over a 100 championship games and had u21 experience and we got him for nothing, we was also a side whose aim was to finish mid table. Keogh is 30. Never got out of this division. Decent player but no ones telling me for £2m-£3m you can't get younger and better. We are aiming for top 2 and no longer have to hope our free signings turn out better than we hoped for. for every tom lees there's a Zayatte and Dielna. Keogh just strikes me as a very similar signing to that of David Jones and Abdi, loads of experience at this level, but nothing better than we have already got.

Rogers Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Can't think of any centre back with pace and aerial dominance. Can't think of any centre back as fast as Warhurst or Walker, as a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Reachs left peg Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Think Hanley and Ayala are the better options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelswfc Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 If we sign Keogh and not Hanley or Ayala I assume it's because we can get him for half the price. Or because Carlos loves him. Probably both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coyt Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'd sooner we try sign someone like Harlee Dean at Brentford or Tommy Smith from Ipswich, I don't see Keogh as an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ-SWFC Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I understand peoples reservations on Keogh and do agree that their are better players out there but one thing you would get from Keogh is 100% commitment and leadership qualities. For a centre back hes comfortable on the ball, not rapid but hes no slouch and puts his head in where it hurts. A solid Championship centre back - i wouldnt be against paying 2 / 3 million for that in todays market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Id love to sign Ayala, we need a center back that can play the ball out. Sasso was the best one at this. Don't see the need to sign Ayala and another such as Hanley or Keogh, should have just kept Sasso as 4th choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
