Worth Keano’s while to put a call through to his former teammate Giggs

WITH talk of Ronaldinho going to Manchester City last week, it’s Sunderland’s turn to look for an audacious summer coup now, with one Ryan Giggs apparently topping Keano’s summer shopping list.

As daft as it sounds, it wouldn’t be the most unlikely of transfers. Although Giggs is English football’s most decorated player, there’s only a year left on his contract and having been a fixture in the Manchester United side for 17 years, you suspect he’d struggle to come to terms with reserve team football as his legs start to slow.

So what would he do as the clock ticks down towards the end of a fine career? He could sit on the bench at United and win another medal or two, in return for the odd cameo appearance. Alternatively, he could be reunited with one of his old teammates, become adored at a club on the up and then end up on our coaching staff. It’d be a tough choice but, as we say in the North East, shy bairns get nowt, so it must be worth a cheeky bid. If nothing else we need a household name to kick-start the revolution at the Stadium of Light. At the moment we don’t have a name for fans to put on the back of their shirts, however Giggs’ wage bill would be repaid in no time in strip sales alone should he enlist to Che Keano’s Red & White Revolution.
