Keane in Friendlies

Well I can understand what your saying but I don't think Keane is more likely than other players to sustain injury.

I mean Duffo has being plauged this season so thats a risk to all players.

True but Duff isn't 32 years old.And even if Keane didn't have a dodgy hip central midfield is the most tiring position so any player his age needs to take it more slowly to avoid serious injury/burn out.It's inevitable that he won't be racing around for 90 minutes and to ask him to do so would be crazy imo.

We do have a pretty young team at the minute and the older guys are slowly appearing less and less,Cunningham is the only 30+ player thats starts afaik.Anyway i'll stop rambling.

Given Keanes situation, he has to play some part in most friendlies. He wont just be able to walk back into the team like nothing happened, also its a bit rich that apparently the new tougher program during friendlies was undertaken after consultation with him and he wouldnt even show up.

This is what I was disagreeing with Sean. By the way I would say that the Polish facilities would not be nearly as good as the Swiss ones. I think the Swiss FA would have alot more money to spend then its Polish equivalent. As I say eireboy there is so much chopping and changing in these freindlies now that I do not think there is much of a team building benefit. Also he has played with all members of the first team plenty of times before with the possible exception of Clinton Morrison.

Well they would be closer to the swiss that the likes of georgia or other east european countries . ( and The majority of central european countries south or east of them . ) Also 32000 capaciaty stadium But then agin capaciaty has nothing to do with the quality of the stadium .

Yes but Ronaldo isn't a Center Midfielder is he. Let me remind you of the Center Midfielders currently at United, Keane, Scholes, Butt, Djemba Djemba, Kleberson and Phil Neville(appears to be his primary position now) and then you have Miller.

Yeah Irish1, sorry you are right. Dunno what I was thinking. They probably wont play together at all next season. they will just be at the same club, and part of the same international setup. On the Mc Grath thing I have asked you for your opinion several times and you still have not given me an answer so I assumed that you were reluctant to criticise that situation. I am sure at the time you were up in arms about the fact that a man who was told he may need a wheel chair within a few years of retiring was not forced to play in vital freindlies!

You've gone from saying

And by the way, I know that Liam Miller will be playing beside him week in week out

He will play fairly regularly next season I have no doubts about that

and now to

they will just be at the same club, and part of the same international setup

At the time I was a teenager and didn't really know what was going on that is why I haven't stated my opinon!

eirebhoy

irish1 - I presume Waylander was being sarcastic in his last comments. Miller and Keane will more than likely play together a few times.

Pretty easy get out there. Well nothing seems to have changed much, except you are not a teenager anymore. Next time I am making a sarcastic remark I will not make the assumption you have the wherewithall to figure it out for yourself, I will ensure it is in bright red writing with (SARCASTIC REMARK) after it just so you will know!
