Realistic Transfer Targets January 2011

[Mr. Snrub]

Roobie Keane is still only 30 ffs and with the exception of Carroll, infinitely better than any of our other strikers.

 

He'd be a very good signing for us, him and AC could be a great strike pairing.

 

So was Michael Owen two days ago.

 

 

Keane isn't made of glass though and he isn't a mercenary c***.

 

Wolves, Coventry, Inter, Leeds, Spurs, Liverpool & Celtic

 

 

Moved up to PL with Coventry, dream move to Inter, fell out of favour and went back to England, Leeds fucked so went to Spurs.  Liverpool and Celtic boyhood clubs.

 

Not one transfer where you can say he went for the money.

[JH]

Hang on, Keane played for Inter Milan? When the fuck did this happen? That's brilliant

[Foluwashola]

He's had more boyhood clubs than wanks.

[Kaizero]

I'm sure if he came here we'd be a boyhood club of his as well.

[Dave]

On a loan would be good, nothing to worry about. On a transfer would be very silly.

 

[Village Idiot]

Judging by previous signings in pretty recent times we should not bother signing Keane types. On loan it is a win win though and I don't think Ashley is going to fund the signing of a good youngish striker which would cost 5m+ surely. Doesn't even matter though because according to them we are on our way to becoming the barca model! Good times.

 

Funniest thing, all of our current crop of homegrown wonders were scouted/signed under a board that ended up being chased out of town (and rightly so).

You must be joking.

It was unfortunate for him. The manager who rated him was sacked early on and he was instantly deemed not good enough by his replacement.

Nope

[ponsaelius]

Whey aye then, lets just spend more money than we've got on Keane, give him the long term deal on big money he will demand and go round the same cycle over again. Be great watching another 30+ player half-heartedly play out their twilight years while picking up easy money, we've had nowhere near enough of them scenarios before

 

Ludicrous that people think it's sensible signing Keane permanently, or at all realistic.

[JH]

Just googled it. Howay man Dave, I was only 10 at the time

[Shayno]

They paid 12 mill, possibly more if any clauses were acted upon, only two years ago. Surely they wouldn't accept a bid any less than half that at 6 mill which is being very optimistic. That money could be waaaay better spent elsewhere.

Well people are suggesting we should sign him permanently, so by deduction, yes they are.

As far as I can see, people are saying we should sign him because of his playing ability. Nobody even mentions wages/fees.

 

If they want too much money or he wants high wages/long contract, then no it probably won't happen. Doesn't mean I don't want him here.

What we gonna do, send them some stray change and pay him in Guinness?

 

Of course the fee/wage would be ludicrous man, this is Spurs.

[TRC]

A few years ago people were sick of signing late 28-30 year olds who were past it and on huge wages and wanted us to sign some younger, cheaper players. Now you want Robbie Keane who hasn't performed to a Premiership standard for over 2 years.

Posters should be criticised if they make statements like "lets sign Keane" without thinking about the consequences.

I think what most are trying to say is that if he's available at the right price he'd be an improvement on the options we currently have.

 

Ashley has shown over the last coule of seasons he isn't going to be throwing ludicrous amounts of money about, we've been signing relatively young players for a knockdown fees, I can't see him suddenly changing that policy for Pardew.

It be a pretty fucking boring forum if we had to do maths and work out the finances of a transfer every time we suggested a fucking signing like.
