Richard Keogh

***johncrobertson@*** · 20-06-2010 04:32 PM

Despite the strong rumours does it look like he will stay down south?. If he does I think we have missed a good player according to Carlisle supporters. Can play right back or centre half - just what we need!!

Colchester United boss John Ward has played down suggestions he is looking to sign Carlisle United defender Richard Keogh.
The 23-year-old is set to leave Carlisle after rejecting a new contract and he has been linked with a reunion with Ward

at Colchester.
Ward signed Keogh

from Bristol City

during his time as Carlisle boss and is looking to put his own stamp on the Colchester squad after replacing Aidy Boothroyd

as manager.
However, he admits he is currently not planning to make a bid for Keogh as his priority is to bring in a midfielder.
"I know Richard very well having had him as a player when I was manager at Carlisle, but at the moment I don't think we will see him coming here," said Ward in the News & Star.
"He's a defender and we have got defenders. We've good full-backs and centre-backs and our priority is elsewhere in midfield."
Keogh has also been linked with Bristol Rovers

as he weighs up his future after turning down the two-year deal that was on offer at Brunton Park.

Coventry vs Edinburgh - women have no taste.

**CapitalHibs** · 28-06-2010 03:33 PM

Bit disappointed about this one TBH. Never saw him play but sounded like he had good intangibles about him.

**M11BMO** · 28-06-2010 04:02 PM

Seemed like a quality player.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

A media rumour doesn't mean he was ever a Hibs target.

would also imagine that yogi will have several different options for each position he wants to fill and as you say this was just hear say.

Pure and simple.

Coventry City, eh? Well it's safe to say the lad has real ambition

Fighting a relegation battle every season in the second tier of English football, or challenging for Europe in Scotland's top division and a decent chance of winning some silverwear?

It's not ambition he's got, he's following the money.

He will be testing himself at a higher level by playing in that division, playing in front of bigger crowds (parkhead and Ibrox are the exceptions) and more likely to get a move to a bigger/better championship club (or even EPL if doing exceptionally well) by performing in the championship.

No doubt money came into it as well but the SPL and Hibs are not a great incentive for players down south when Championship clubs come calling (unfortunately for us). One game in Europe maybe two every couple of years and a cup run won't dissuade them.

no loss, move along, nothing to see...

***Aldo*** · 28-06-2010 08:28 PM

I thought CC were in deep doo doo money wise. Nearly in as bad debt as the yams but still able to pay a lot more than us..... Shame really cos from what I have read he was a no bad defender.

If I was English and didn't support Hibs I would do the same. The Championship witnesses teams fighting relegation one year and winning promotion to the best league in the world the next. Lack if ambition you say?
