Position: Centre Midfield
Club: Manchester City
Expected Price: £4,000,000 - £5,500,000
Comments: Taking Joey Barton on would be a huge gamble, but there's no doubting his abilty. Keane may see a bit of himself in Joey and if anybody could calm the lad down it would be Keane. Two other clubs have shown interest. Everton and Tottenham, but nobody to date has confirmed their interest. It's also being reported that Manchester City have ran out patients with Barton and have told him he can leave the club.
Name: David Nugent
Position: Striker
Club: Preston North End
Expected Price: £6,000,000
Comments: David Nugent for me has everything to make it in the top flight. Keane has already said that he admires the young forward and could be a real potential signing, but other factors come into this. Nugent has already stated that he'll stay at Preston if promoted, which is looking less likely. He also said he would prefer joining Everton (Being an Everton supporter), but I've heard on the grape vine that The Blues are targeting Jermaine Defoe from Tottenham. Could this pave the way for Keane to get his man? Personally I would love to see Nugent at the club next season.
