Prime Roy Keane Or Prime Steven Gerrard??
 

Was having this debate with a freind of mine 2dai and just wanted to know what you guys thought.

IMO Prime Keane is the better player although Stevie G is a great player he did not have that aura around him that a Prime Keane had. I will always remember Keane for that chap league semi final vs Juventes where he destroyed Zidane and got United through to the final.

Also he is the hardest footballer i have ever seen

he went to the same school as me:hugesmile: Roy that is not Steven

I really like them both, Roy Keane may have the edge for me,I love his no nonsense determination and no whingeing either.Brilliant player.
I have massive regard for Steven Gerrard too as a Captain though.

Gerrard.

Less dirty.
Just as committed.
Shows as much heart.

But has more flair and more natural talent.

Amazing player as much as i dont like saying it..

Going forward, Gerrard slightly, defending Keane by a mile. Overall Keane by far.

Really!! How cool is that have you ever talked to him??

no, he's a few years older than me so he was gone when I went there, my husband is friends with his brother though so he has

Gerrard.

Would have hated having Keane play for the team I supported.

Keane should have been done for GBH for that foul on Alfie Haaland.

Different kind of players.

What did he say Keane is like???

But as an Ipswich fan on the side of villa, i love him

He went for the ball :xyxwave: PMSL

Just normal really but he hasn't seen him in a good while now

Thats good to hear

As Nate says they're different kind of players. Keane is the complete box to box midfielder where as Gerrard is best suited playing in an attacking midfield player.

True, but I'd still have Keane on my team ahead of Gerrard. In his prime there was nobody who could equal him in the middle. Sure he kept Gerrard quiet anytime United played Liverpool.

I've said this every single time it's been brought up - that tackle didn't finish the guys career.

I'd rather have Keane too.

He didn't say it did.

But it was an assult he went for the man not the ball..

was horrible.

He didn't hit his standing leg. Yeah, it was nasty, but nah, didn't end his career. People use it too often to highlight Keane's ferocity, but sure there's a fair few other players who have taken the law into their own hands on occasion. It's terrible, but it happens.

Yes thats true, but the way he went about it was just pathetic and immature he went into that game with the mentality im going to injure this player..
Its pretty bad.

I'm no condoning it here, just think that he was out for so long after a particular tackle and the fact that this guy told him to get up and stop play acting got him so angry that he had his number from that day on. Silly, but if Keane lost that competitive and fighting spirit he wouldn't have been the player he became.

Yes its all well and good giving him a hard time going in on rough tackles tc rough him up a bit because he pissed you off fair play well done.

But you dont go into a match with the mentality im going to go and injure this guy, then directly target his knee with your studs.. thats just wrong.

He wanted to hurt him, that's all. It was stupid, but it didn't lead to the end of his career. That's a myth.
