Granted he was a good footballer but not a genius. Someone in your posts even said his passing was not at the level of Scholes (and Scholes is not even a genius of football oo not to talk of Keane). My grouse is with the way you ascribe genius to Keane. That word is a sacred word, don't make it trite.
Oga don't even say that about scholes o, even master Zidane can't say that

Football has only three or four genius and so many first class or world class players.

Man Utd fanatics will always belive their players were better than they naturally are. Alot of people on the thread had fun exaggerating his abilities.
Even Keane himself will feel flattered if he read some of those comments.

You could see some of those who tried to give an unbiased view of his game were lambasted for not being real Utd fans.
This is one of those unbiased views.



Another unbiased quote

[b] Roy Keane had 3 abilities that in my opinion made him stand out.

1) He made everyone work close to 100% - everyone was afraid of him, and knew they would get it if they didn't perform.
2) He never lost the ball. You could play the ball to him - almost regardless of where he was, and he would keep the ball. This probably had a lot to do with a lot of players being afraid of Keane, so they wouldn't pressure him the same way they will di Maria.
3) He made the right choices - his passes weren't necessarily brilliant or hard to do - they just were right. He never made it harder than it had to be.


The tens of articles that point how Good Keane was to you is biased. That one is unbiased to you because it suits your narrative forgetting that it also highlights how you goofed trying to make Keane a poor footballer.

Keep in mind, Van Gaal once voted Keane as the best player in the World. At least he is not a United fanatic.

Learn or Argue, it is up to you.

The most technically gifted footballer in the English Premier League over the last 20 years? Very, very possibly – with honourable mention going to Dennis Bergkamp and Gianfranco Zola.

One of the best three midfielders in the English Premier League during that time? Almost certainly, along with Roy Keane and Steven Gerrard.

However, perhaps the greatest compliment paid to Scholes came just before and after his final minutes as a professional player. In the aftermath of United’s Champions League final hammering at the hands of Barcelona, Scholes could be seen strutting off the Wembley pitch wearing the shirt of Barca midfielder Andres Iniesta, having been pursued by the Spaniard straight after the final whistle to swap jerseys.

What Scholes did not realise at the time was that Iniesta only got to make the request after drawing lots with four of his team-mates – Lionel Messi, Xavi, Pedro and Sergio Busquets.

Yes and perhaps the other Ronaldo elphenomeno. I am exaggerating as regards the small number number sha just so you know that the road of genius is a very, very narrow path, too narrow for even many World class players to thread upon.

The same player you tried to make poor. No matter how you try to dribble, the point is very clear. Keane was a good footballer. A very good one and you were wrong. Learn or Argue. It is up to you.

Our technical juggernaut knocked out Gabriel Heinze in the dressing room.

"I knew that was bad so I stood up to him, this idol of Manchester, this great guy who everyone loved, and replied: "F*** off, you". I don't remember what happened next."

Asked if that was because he was knocked out, he replied: "Yes. Yes."

Sami Hypia, Asamoha Gyan, William Gallas were once nominated for world footballer of the year. I think it was Fabregas who nominated Gyan.

You welcome. Getting yourself soaked up with the game (at least the Super Eagles) will add more colours to your work.

So whatsup with the Abuja stadium? When will a company perhaps yours take it on for rebranding?

It depends.
Unless we are contracted to do rebranding work, for now, what we focus on is pitch perimeter perimeter branding.

Hopefully, I get to share some pictures here, so you get what I'm on about.
