James Keatings

[grievsie]

Sorry if this has already been posted but a source at Dundee Utd has stated that Keats is close to signing for them, along with Billy King apparently. Would like to keep him.

I thought he wanted a crack at the premiership?

Surely he'd wait till after the playoffs before signing for them

Dundee United don't know what league they will be playing in next season. I find it highly unlikely Keatings would be trying to agree terms with a club who could be in the championship again. Sounds like p*sh to me.

......... then again, we're all aware of Keating's predilection for the Championship.

You know what rumours are like.

If he goes, he goes. I think he can do a job for us but probably not as a guaranteed starter which is what he wants.

Definitely not as a guaranteed starter.

[Dashing Bob S]

Would hope that he would stay with Hibs and try to improve as a player rather than set up as a striking John Rankin in the Championship.

[HibsNutter]

Would make sense tbh, if Lennon wants to keep Cummings, get Boyce, bring Shaw through and bring in a target man then his game time will be limited still. You would think he will want regular starts and he isn't going to get that with us.

[Centre Hawf]

Good move for him if so. Said it before that this is his level and hes probably going to be a main man for them.

Yip I would say thanks very much and good luck.

[danhibees1875]

I'd want to keep Keatings if possible, but I can't begrudge him the chance to make it 4 league winner medals out of 5 to join his Scottish Cup winning medal. That's quite the record!

Fourth? Hamilton were runners-up. He has two medals

I wouldn't mind him staying, but tend to agree with this.

He didn't win the league with Hamilton

[MWHIBBIES]

He'll score 25 goals playing every week at Championship level, this isn't ''his level'', look at some of the players playing in the top flight. He'd walk into any bottom 6 side.

I'd agree that he could easily be playing the premier league but I'd imagine that Dundee United will pay better than most of the bottom 6 Premier League Clubs. Keats has to balance professional achievement with paying his mortgage. He should get a regular game and a decent salary at United

[ekhibee]

He's a good sub to bring on, but never a 90 minute player. DU will soon find that out if they sign him. Mind you, they should already know about players like that, Simon Murray is very similar in that respect IMO.

He's only scored 40 league goals in over 150 games, we need better for the step up good luck to him at utd.

[snooky]

A lot of people say he's not good enough but I see players in all Scottish teams that could easily be classified as not good enough.
Plenty mercenaries but very few Messi-naries around these pairts.

[GreenCastle]

Another player I would keep if possible.

Good for team morale - scores goals and gives us something different.

He's a natural finisher and hopefully he stays.

There is not a single player in the squad who does not have people on here saying we should keep. That's a good thing as it shows that we have been doing well.
There is no way it can happen though if we are going to progress the squad for the premier league. Some popular players will have to leave.

Legend for his role in the cup win, and getting us promoted, but id happily let him leave.

Too inconsistent, doesnt get involved in games enough and as for a "natural finisher" he has 5 league goals this seasons in over 20 games, 1150 minutes and he will get even less time/chances in the top league.

No time for sentiment when it comes to our squad next season, need to be ruthless and aim as high as possible.

People are right, he probably would play every week for a bottom 6 side, but guess what? We arent aiming for bottom 6, we are aiming for top 4!!!

If that was the case then surely we should have played him every week, he would be the top scorer in the league by six clear goals.

Personally I think you're wrong.

So you think he is better than Cummings? Off memory i dont think Cummings has hit 25 league goals in a single season?

19 this season and 18 the other 2 seasons in the league. Keatings is no where near as good as Jason, hence why hes played 2nd fiddle to Jason since he joined.

[Diclonius]

Keatings is making a wee career for himself getting teams out of the Championship.

[lucky]

Good move for him he's a great signing for them. I wish him all the best. I feel that the top end of the championship is his level. TBF he's failed to be a starter at Celtic, Hearts and Hibs but has done well at Hamilton, Hearts and Hibs in the championship so good luck to him

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Dundee Utd stated recently that if they don't go up then a further wave of cuts would have to be made. Surely they will wait until they find out what league they will be in.
