ponsaelius Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Ben Arfa and Keane. Jeebus, we're starting to look like a Premiership team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Just have seen Hughton in his press conference on SSN. Have to say, the grin he had on his face and the way he looked after the Keane question confirmes it for me - he's signing. Replacement for Ben Afra.

Colocho Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 If we signed Keane it will surely mean one of Xisco, Shola or Lovenkrands out of the door. Think it will be Best leaving if anyone. Keane and Carroll could be an excellent partnership, with Ben Arfa on the left or behind them ... mouthwatering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Wonder where Ben Arfa will play if we get Keane.

I'd be happier seeing him with a central midfield partner until he settles in a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, who would buy an injured Leon Best? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Don't think we really need Keane tbh, as I think Ben Arfa is being signed as a second striker type anyway. May have to ship out someone like Smith though, as we've gone from being weak in the middle of the park to having way too many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Redknapp on SSN saying Keane is still part of his plans. Guess that could change though if they manage to sign another striker. he said that right up to keane joining celtic on loan in jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 If we got Keane, then I wouldn't be surprised if Xisco did end up on loan to a random La Liga struggler on loan or for an undisclosed fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 oh dont know if this has been mentioned but was reading the star online last night and brief bit on shola "Striker Shola Ameobi will hold talks with boss Chris Hughton.

I think the only one out of those I'd be sad to see out of the starting 11 would be Barton, but I'm sure Hughton thinks differently, what with Nolan being captain, and I can't see him going for a midfield diamond anyway.

colinmk Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Even with Ben Arfa we need another striker. Loven is alright as 3rd/4th choice, the rest apart from Carroll aren't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Robbie Keane could be decent as second choice, haven't seen him for more than a year but had we been linked with him two years ago I would be pretty excited. And i dont expect him to have become so much worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll as a lone striker with Ben Arfa behind him would be great, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just wish we could have got Bellamy, that would have been amazing. As it is another striker would be good, you're right. Keane would probably be raring to go, but I've not seen much of him recently to know whether he's the player he was. Always looks intelligent and sharp though, which would make him a good partner for Carroll in theory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
