The thing about keane is that he was carrying an injury (to his hip) for the last couple of seasons and his game was always based on power and aggression, which was a problem when he started to struggle physically. Scholesy is a more subtle player and doesn't have any chronic injuries. I reckon he's got another season in him at the highest level. But yeah, Carrick is running him close this season.
