Tbf most people assume that anyway, whereas with Keano it's open to debate.

It's a crazy world considering the level, player and fee involved - but in this instance I see it as a good thing!

Everyone knows the issue of the balance in the English league being very Premier League favourable, large financial gap etc.

At least this way it's a case of money going out of the premiership and into the football league (more money then technically should do). If you're a championship team selling to a premier league team, you're always going to knock a million or three on.

It's not as if they can say they haven't got any money (in comparison to football league sides) when the prem teams have all netted 30 mil tv revenue.

Christ yeah, a player on strike on those circumstances would have looked a right tit. Doubt he even thought about it, but it would have been interesting the press reaction he might have got.

I won't take the **** out of Derby, no. They're equally as s**t but at least they still have their money.

what can i say

On what basis - the 150 games or so he's played at that level?

He's more than good enough for a bottom half of the table side. Which is what we're aiming for right now.
