Dave Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 The links to Keane seem to be getting quite strong, and Pardew didn't exactly rule it out in today's presser. Just wondering what the general consensus is; what better way than a poll? Fucking amazing. Personally I would be happy to see him come in on loan but would worry too much about his age to sign him permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Loan. But if it really gets to that point and we're desperate for a forward I'll take him permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 As I've said before,well past his best...maybe as a last minute type last resort deal that usually involves Spuds in one way or another.Voted no anyhow.Can't see him benefitting the team,especially when HBA returns.

Interpolic Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Loan, we need to see if he's still got it. He's potentially just what we're after if he hits some form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 yes if we have to loan if we can we all knew it would happen some day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross magoo Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 He pretty much saved Celtic from finishing 3rd last season but he was effectively just an overpaid seal-clubber in our league. I've not seen enough of him in the EPL over the last 18 months to really judge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 If everything is sensible (fee, wages etc.) then yes to signing him. Worst case, loan til the end of the season. Think he's still a great player and exactly what we need. Those saying definitely 'no' just need to look at our striking options after Carroll to change their minds. We need Premership quality, and we need it in January. Keane > Ameobi/Lovenkrands/Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Wouldn't want him here long term but he could is significantly better than Shola or Lovenkrands and could dovetail quite well with Carroll. Loan deal would be best to get us through til May then reassess the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is that I think we really need someone quick. Doesn't even have to be the best finisher, just someone who can worry defences with pace. We miss that in attacking positions, obviously losing Ben Arfa fucked it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Will score goals and will create chances - certainly enough to help us keep safe. Ashley wont pay over the top so if Keane came here, it would be within our budget. I'd be pleased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen enough of him in the EPL over the last 18 months to really judge. Can he still run much? Tbh a lot of the goals i saw him score for Celtic were poachers goals. The old firm tend to have the opposition pinned back for most of the game so there's not the same need for a pacey striker to score on the break. I have to say though i was a lot more impressed with Craig Bellamy when he was at Celtic but that was a few years back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Yes buy him. We need to build a squad of good players that offer us a variety of options tactically. I'd imagine any contract we offer will be similar to Pardew's. A good basic salary with good performance bonuses. With the bigger picture in mind, bar Carroll all of our Strikers simply aren't good enough. Best & Lovenkrands need to be moved on and Ranger requires a loan to work on his game and develop. The likelihood is that Lovenkrands will go first, followed by Xisco meaning the two most experienced strikers in the squad gone. I'd also argue he'd provide good leadership in the absence of Kevin Nolan, if West Ham are willing to match his wage at Tottenham however there's only one place he's going.

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 He's miles better than anything else we've got to partner AC9 with, so it's ein grosse JA from meee. Keane ist superfantastisch n all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I can't really say I've ever taken any notice of Keane so forgive my ignorance, but the imagine he's what Nolan is, only a striker. In that I mean kind of slow, a passenger, frustrating but scores goals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Wouldn't turn my nose up to a loan with an option to buy. But I'd not sign him permanently without any knowledge if he'll end up being Owen MkII for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
