Keith Joins Blackpool

With his first team chances limited, Keith has said yes to first team football by signing a two & a half year contract with Blackpool. Everton get about £50,000 & a percentage of any sell on fee.

Peter Clarke says: "Keith can expect more of the same as he did on loan. He’ll be playing on Saturday afternoon, in fact he’ll be on the telly against Wigan! I’m sure it won’t be different from the three months he’s spent with Blackpool on loan, but now he’s a permanent fixture. He’ll be settled, he’s now a Blackpool player and he’s got the stability he needs for his career to progress.”

Fuck off says: "He is a great acquisition for this club, given his age, and given that we know all about him.
"We have had first-hand experience of him and I think it is a great signing. He can only go one way, he is a good player, not spectacular, but you do not need to be spectacular to be a good player." (08/11/02)

McMahon wants Keith Permanently

Midfielder Keith has been in sparkling form for Blackpool, that much so that they want to make his loan deal permanent. Blacpool manager ex-blue & redshite Fuck off McMahon says: ``I've spoken to David Moyes about it and maybe we'll make a decision in a week or so."
