KEANE LEAVES RED DEVILS

Manchester United captain Roy Keane has left the club my mutual consent.

More to follow...

from http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4449396.stm

Leaves the path clear for Ballack to join Manure and Keane to join Celtic!

Damn IT!!!! Been waiting for Keane to get back and just as he's near it, he leaves!!!

It's sad that his era at Manchester United is over. He is trully a United Legend.

Absolute ********! Just got off the phone at Old Trafford, had to wait 30 mins on hold!

There not releasing much. They just confirmed the meeting this morning about his future, and how he was told he was surplus to requirements? WTF! I think someone other than Fergie must of said that.

Devistated.

At 34, I dont think Keane had much left in him. Anyways, no one can doubt that he has been a great servant to the Red Devils.

Looking at the positives, Man U can now make a much needed signing.

Keane had plenty left in him. He was still doing it at the highest level. He could quite easily play for another 2 years.

We wont make a signing of the same calibe a player as Keane. Yes Ballack can be amazing, but he's a different type of player. We need a holding midfielder to cover Keane

You lost out alot when you didn't sign Essien, he'd have been the perfect replacement!

So distressed you had to ring them up and confirm the news to make sure it was true before crying down the phone to them?

The last ever thing Keane did for Manchester United was get his foot broke broken by King Luis!

Luis Garcia, he drinks Sangria; he came from Barca to bring us joy. He?s 5 foot 7, he?s football heaven? but please don?t take our Luis away!

Thank God, for a minute then I thought it was guna say Bradford!

I would offer anyone odds of 100-1 he would go to Pompey. Absolutely no chance.

Too bad he had to leave. The negative interview played a big part in it I guess.

Ivory Coast are the strongest of the underdogs imo, they gave Italy a run for their money yesterday! Didier Drogba plays for them too.

I'm looking forward to see the African teams in action, should be some fast football.

And Toure too!
