I can only really think of Diouf and Itandje in my lifetime who've done something to not warrant that support from the fans. But there's a few who frequent this thread who seem to have a very strong disliking for Keita for what I can only assume is his injury troubles or not living up to their expectations.
I'm happy to be called a fan boy for all of our players if that's the alternative.
yeah it’s odd. I get the frustrations, goodness knows I was ready for them to ship Naby out last summer because of the issues of him staying fit! But never could I not like him as a player, because when he is on his game, he’s fantastic to watch. And then what ends up happning, he has a season where he does play a good part in an excellent year!
Anyway, as for the future, ideally it’d be a good thing now if he did commit for a year or two more, as the midfield will need some work soon, so not having to lose 3 or 4 players the same time would be good! But I’d honestly not blame him if he feels it’s time to move on either.
