Roy Keane signing for Celtic

He might be 34, but Roy Keane is still an absolutely fantastic player. Sure, there’s all this stuff about him ‘unsettling’ the dressing room, but I would rather have a committed, honest player like him than someone who is two faced. I can’t think of any of the ‘controversial’ things that he has said that aren’t actually true, and to have a player of his calibre at Celtic is a real coup.

EDIT: At the news conference Peter Lawell said he’s ‘fitting within the current wage structure’ – ie he’s getting £22,000 a week or less (Desmond is putting nothing towards it, that was explicitly said). That really shows his level of commitment to the club, since it represents something like a 65 – 75% pay cut. Incidentally, his first game will be Clyde at Broadwood, maybe slightly less luxurious than he’s used to :)
