Stubborn Keane still wants Baines

Last updated : 17 July 2007 By Liam Cooper
After completing his fifth summer signing this week, Keane is readying a fourth bid for the talented 22-year old.

Keane said: "Just because a club says a player is not for sale - if that was the case, nobody would ever move club. Chris Hutchings was quick to come out through the media saying that.

"Managers have rung me about players and we like to try to keep these things private.

"But some managers cannot get it out quick enough that we have made enquiries for players.

"I suppose every manager is different, but because a manager says a player is not for sale doesn't mean it is over.

"I am sure Everton told Manchester United Wayne Rooney was not for sale, but they got him, so we will see."


Put simply, we do not need the money, and would rather keep Baines. Some people just don't understand that.
