RIMBAUD Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 This would be a great signing but.... This signifies the end of probably 2 from Buxton, O'Brien, barker.

Srg Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Manchester United defender joins on loan until January. Derby County have this afternoon completed the signing of Manchester United central defender Michael Keane on an emergency loan deal until 2nd January 2014. Head of Football Operations Chris Evans has worked tirelessly during the last 24 hours to secure a deal with the Premier League Champions and the 20-year-old defender will be available for Sunday’s Sky Bet Championship game at Wigan Athletic, subject to clearance from the Football League. After signing England Under 21 international captain Andre Wisdom on a season-long loan from Liverpool last month, Head Coach Steve McClaren has once again moved to attract one of the country’s top talents to the Rams. Defender Keane rose through the ranks at Manchester United and was a key figure in the Red Devils’ successful FA Youth Cup-winning team of 2011. Keane’s form at youth level led him to graduate into United’s reserves, before being rewarded with a first-team debut during the League Cup win at Aldershot Town in 2011. A consistent campaign saw him voted ‘Reserves Player of the Year’, prior to an England debut in May 2012 at Under-19 level. He enjoyed an action-packed campaign last season; playing for the Red Devils’ first-team and impressing during a fine loan spell with Leicester City. Keane started the Capital One Cup ties against Newcastle United and Chelsea for United, but the central defender’s first-team opportunities with the Reds remained limited, so a loan move to Leicester followed. Despite only spending half a season with the Foxes, his impressive form at the club earned him a place on their three-man shortlist for their Player of the Year award, whilst in May earlier this year, he made his debut for the England Under-21s in a 4-0 win against Austria at Brighton’s American Express Community Stadium. He has remained in the squad ever since and has scored in his last two England Under 21 matches against Finland and San Marino, helping Gareth Southgate’s side to back-to-back wins in their 2015 European Championships Qualification campaign.

davenportram Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Keogh and Keane first choice - Buxton on the bench. OB out on loan Whitbread back to Fester Barker into retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I hope he drops Keogh instead of Buxton. Keogh's been poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_J_DCFC Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I hope he drops Keogh instead of Buxton. Keogh's been poor. He was poor at the beginning. Last few games, he has been excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Good, hadn't seen much of Whitbread since the Leeds game so we needed that cover. Also played above Liam Moore and Whitbread at Leicester, so definite improvement. We actually have competition in the squad now, interesting to see how Keogh/Bucko cope with this; they've definitely both stepped up when I've seen them recently. If anything it's such a good thing neither of them deserve to be dropped, really going to have 4/5 good CB's to choose from. Bucko doesn't deserved to be dropped but I think he will be, Keogh is the captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 don't think Mac will drop either of them for Sunday. 2 consecutive clean sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Keogh and Keane first choice - Buxton on the bench. OB out on loan Whitbread back to Fester Barker into retirement. He's only here till January with Whitbread, poor Barker And OB can't go anywhere now the loan window is shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 He'll be leaving in a month, crikey. Barker's been treated to a few weeks rehab in the U.S, they're definitely trying to get him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 John Vicars @johnrvicars31s 8 other clubs after Michael Keane today and he's coming to Derby thanks to Steve Mac and Chris Evans #dcfcfans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Barker won't be back till after Xmas, and Whitbread and Keane's loans run out in Jan, so unless we extend them I don't see what the fuss is about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rezner Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 He'll probably sign to the end of the season in Jan. Can't rely on Barks or OB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
