Just think, if king Louis was still here he might have come on a free end of season

Siders offski again?

Siders?

Him and schweini in a midfield 2

100% he'd be here.

Absolute national and international legend. Superb player. nft.

Different class, obviously tainted by his association with Van Gaal but he was just doing his job.

A lot of top players fail to transition to coaching, but suspect he might end up a worldie manager if he goes into it.

Probs get Xavi in there too. Why not? Make it a three

Seriously, odd in this day and age to see a world class player pack it in earlier than needed. He's always been a bit different tbf.

Nqat. Didn't he say he owed his whole life to Louis? Or something very very similar to that anyway.

Yep.

Weird guy but Louis found the diamond in there.

Ah yes that's the exact quote right there. Knew some legend would find it.

Deffo an honourary member of the LvG crew. Perhaps deserves some type of ambassadorial role. I'll run it past Jethro.

Yep. Many more of Keith's homoerotic dreams afoot.

Not really, tbh.

Turned down a role in the hierarchy as well apparently.

I get his thinking tbf.

Won everything in the game, became the best he could possibly be and made enough money to set his family for life.

Could go out and get crippled in his next game so why not get out while he's still got his physical health.
