Let him go and let's move on and replace him quickly. Its going to happen I'd rather it happen now than just before the start of the season.
Apparantly Carlisle take a sell-on cut so we don't even get the the full amount if sold! Makes keeping him for the rest of his contract more sense!
imp:
love to think so, but just cant see it.
I just get the same feeling with Keogh as I did with King last year
Keep him, and who knows, lose him and we will be in trouble
As others have said, decision needs to be made in next few days so we can look to get replacement in. I think he will go, but aslong as we have time and board willing to, get few players we will need so we at least have a squad, however strong it is or isn't.
Its not a choice for him to make! He is still under contract for one more year. He can only go if the club decide to sell him on!
imp:
Keogh is a good player. But I think people are rating him too highly. If we lose him it won't be anywhere near as big a blow as it was losing King.
When we lost King we also lost half the squad and replaced with about 2!!
At least now we appear to be bringing the right type of player in to build a team. Yes we have lost some again, but most have been fringe players Eastwood Mcpake et al! We do seem to be trying to compete though, gutted if Richard goes of course, but if we force him to stay will his mind be right? will he move on in spite of promotion because we forced him. Best cash in, keep CCFC going and build a team to win promotion first time.
Atm there are a number of clubs looking at him - that put's us at an advantage.
I'm not fussed if he goes. Don't get me wrong, he was exceptional last season and easily our best player but lets not kid ourselves, losing a defender and losing the only proven goalscorer we've had in years are 2 very different things. If theres a bidding war for him (i.e Cardiff and Brizzle City are willing to increase their offers to beat the other 1 to his signing) and we hold out for a good figure, then it puts the club at a much better footing - able to use the money to bring in a couple of players, either on loan or perm. with a bit left to cover a month or so's losses.
He's good, but not irreplacable.

But still the shittest manager........Agreed. If we sign this guy and also a striker (or even 2) we would on paper have one of the strongest squads in the league.

Laughable that people think if he stays we are strong and if goes we are weak!
Losing Keogh would be a massive loss, but if the cash was invested back in the team who knows everything could work out well! But yeah lets face it none of it would go back into the squad so it could be a disater!
We still would have Willis hopefullyIf he goes and there is an injury to Wood (which happened last year) our defence would be
Clarke---Henderson---Cameron-----Hussey
oh, Henderson was on work experience last season at Nuneaton...
Losing keogh IS a big deal !

Losing him is only a big deal if we don't replace him. If he goes you can add 2 cb to our transfer list.

The unfortunate result of 'moving on' is that we are in a worse position than we started at. But that, I am told, is progress.
I would say we have a stronger squad now than at the start of last season. That is progress
