Run up to what injury though? Up until Buckie was fine, but after that, between McKinnon picking him and Keatings himself, i think he was playing injured and im sure has said as much himself. Shabba to his credit comes in and sorts out a number of injured players, some of whom we didnt see again last season!
Basically, we have never seen him at full potential and i think its bordering on criminal that we may never get to see what he can offer!
Thankfully, Forums are the only social media platforms i partake in, so i dont see all the crap that players get up to. But we are talking about Csaba Lazlo here who we all think isnt the man for us. Maybe Keatings did what Robertson did to Klop, where Robbo was willing to back himself and pestered the manager until he was able to grab his chance. I can guess the "Yir no ma player" attitude that has sent Keatings to frustration that looks like he is in the huff!
Last years unrest, well Shabba didnt cover himself in glory on that score!
I haven't seen Keatings play one single good game for Utd. He's been the biggest disappointment of a signing for me as anyone. Regardless if his situation, he HAS played when fit & mentally sound and he still hasn't been any good. Couple this with the fact he's now taking to social media looking for some kind of childish sympathy vote from the fans by posting 'good luck' messages on a Saturday when he knows fine well he's gonna get asked if he's fit or not, he should be out the door pronto. Total and utter lack of professionalism. If we can't sell him then I'd happily let him train with the kids for the rest of his time tbh. He's meant to be a professional football not a ****ing schoolkid whose spat the dummy.
Keatings is the type of player that will keep us in the championship. I do have a bit of sympathy for some of his issues but I can’t see him being near good enough for us. Get rid along with scobbie and McMullan
Until we know more about the quality of player brought in I don’t think we should be getting rid of keatings and McMullan. McMullan in particular is a decent player that can win a match. He often terrorised defences under Ray
Apart from a couple games early last season he did f all of importance, I keep saying Billy King offers more to the team and has a better attitude, for me he is the better player, more effective just inconsistent with his attacking form but even when poor puts in a shift and works back, looking forward to having him back as it will strengthen options, bench looks well and well mean Aird/Loemba having to be decent to keep their place
Keatings has done nothing in a United strip. Mcmullen on the other hand has had good games and has never been given a proper run of games. Id definitely hold on to Mcmullen as an impact sub and let him fight for a place in the team. He is only 22 aswell.
