Surely Keane did that countless times to Fergie and probably just let it slip.



I still say Keane isn't the right person for Sunderland.

SWP to West Ham is a joke, and a very bad one at that. he could get into the arsenal, bolton, everton, liverpool, spurs etc first team so why the hell would he go to WHU?

Smith to Sheff utd? thats worse. hes a good striker and i think he should stick it out at utd as he will get a chance and he just has to take it like saha has this season.
