This loan deal rumour is also fueling the rumour of the bust up between Keane and Lawrence, in which apparently Lawrence was subbed off in a 11-a-side training game between a mixture of 1st and 2nd team players. Lawrence was said not to have been happy with being substituted and ending up having a few choice words with Roy Keane, Keane returned with a few choice words of his own.
Two clubs are apparently interested in taking Lawrence which are Leeds and Stoke, with Stoke begin favorites to take the midfielder.
