I don't know, from what I've seen of Keane (admittedly not enough) he doesn't seem to be the kind of player that would do well in Rafa's rotation system. I won't deny his ability, but I don't think he'll fit in well enough to justify the fee they paid. Think people rate Scolari based on his INT experience. Chelsea are a team with an international at every position (I think).

With the new silence policy, every transfer that seems even slightly probable will have a thread like this.

It really is 43 pages of absolute horseshit, isn't it?

Think this transfer might get Rafa fired.

God damnit, people are going to think they meant Ashley. On one hand, it may stay up forever, on the other, I get no credit for getting the deal done.

Nice.

And there it goes again.

whey whatever it said has been taken off now... Ah well. Said four year deal 8.7m. It's wikipedia, though.

Well, that's my name for it, so...

Feel terrible for the guy.

Well you are American so I guess we must believe you. Felt a swelling of national pride for a bit there.

Goddamn, it wasn't an invitation!

Abuse coming my way, but Wiki says he's signed for 8.7m.

So, has anyone seen him play?

You had your press hat on and everything.

I've stopped myself twice.

Has Faye played that role under Keegan? Can't remember. It was the first Chelsea game, right? When was that?

Your donkey? arse.

I really do like the idea of Faye at DM. I look forward to spending the entire season begging the team through the TV to make the switch.

Wouldnt mind pushing Faye to dm and Coloccini could partner Taylor Faye did well at DM vs...was it Chelsea?

Talking out my ass, I'd think Faye would be the one to fall out. Taylor should, but I suspect it would be Faye.

Assuming we get him, who falls out of the first team? Who should?

I'd take Uncle Phil over Smith.

Look at this bullshit. When they were jumping on me for speaking funny, there were no Americans on the board. Now it's time to fight and everyone remembers their password.
