taxfree Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Sergio Canales is weirdly enough being linked to Bolton and West Ham. Would be a canny signing like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 They already have a couple Real Madrid trainees keeping the bench warm (Canales is way better though), dunno why he would want to go there. A La Liga loan would be much better for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Keane could be good, loan would be better though. He might be going into the Owen stage of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Keane still has a lot to offer IMO. I think he'd be the perfect foil for Carroll. Obviously i'd prefer someone younger, cheaper and more hungry but he's certainly one of the best options available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 We cannit be expecting to unearth young gems/bargain signings everyday man - it's not how it works. We need goals to stay in this league and Keane is the perfect mould for doing that alongside Carroll. Some people are just too snobbish to admit that we're desperate and need a 30 year old striker to help us out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Beardsley was 2 years older when we got him and he was perfect for Cole. Keane could still give us 2 even 3 years and would do wonders for Carroll I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate Keane, you may have other views on him. There are definitely cheaper and more talented striker out there tho. We don't need to unearth anyone either. Players like Shechter, Gameiro are both talented and fairly proven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Noone can deny that they'd put Keane in over Ameobi or Ranger. Keane could be a good short term signing if it was 18 months with an option to extend. But I don't think he'd come here on such a short term contract. Giving him a 2 or 3 year deal would be risky, he's 30 and hasn't scored a Premier League goal since god knows when, and his wage demands will be high. He's clearly not the player he was otherwise he'd be getting games, and at his age he will probably get worse over time. We don't want to wind up with another Viduka/Kluivert type of player who still has the class but is a journeyman on the decline looking for a final payday. Proven strikers don't come cheap though, so if the deal was a good one I think he'd be well worth a punt. With the kinds of funds Ashley will hand out we would struggle to get better.

taxfree Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Isn't Fonte the lad who's Mrs Pards rattled? Haha, yep. Would be very suprising to see him joining Pardew again. Not very likely at all really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Keane would be on hefty wages. I'm sure there will be a decent striker for cheap somewhere. I dont think the risk is worth the potential reward for Keane. If come Jan 31st we dont have anyone, I'd take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think we're better than him like? Because I see a newly promoted side who need Premier League experience to keep them in the division. We'd not get much better experience right now.
