Optimistic Nut Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Definitely have him here, he just seems the type that would love to play in front of that many fans and do well with. Can see him going mental every goal he scores. Yes please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Geremi, Duff, Butt, Smith, Owen... Robbie Keane. Let someone else make the mistake this time, please. I agree. It has all the signs of another failed signing. Although our squad is so weak that a loan deal would be well worth it. If we're looking to sign someone permanently we'd be better off spending our money on someone who isn't a journeyman and has actually scored and played competitive football in recent history.

Tsunami Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Loan with an option to buy for an agreed price would fit the bill. Potentially him and Carroll look a decent partnership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 If his wages are reasonable and he doesn't come in permanently at the expense of someone going out, or come on loan instead of getting someone permanent, yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Keane is still premiership class, if we sign him on loan and he performs well for us, I don't think we'll be allowed to snap him up anyway. Some other club probably would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 We're the best it gets for Robbie Keane, I think. And he's the best it gets for us, at this moment in time. Make it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Definitely looking to sell RK as a preference but it's not sell or nothing. Levy has quoted West Ham £6m or £2m as a loan fee, RK's agent is apparently wanting £1m bonus if they avoid the drop and that's on top of £65k pw. I don't think he'll wind up at West Ham, there's a lot of bad blood over the Olympic Stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Lol Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 £2m for 5 months. I did say a sale is very much the preference. Of the teams that are asking about him you're the best option club wise, but there is a sentimental pull from Wolves and his missus likes London, there is a young nipper as well. I've no idea where he might end up and I certainly wouldn't have a bet on any possible destination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Curls Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'd have him here, still got an eye for a goal and has a little bit of pace about him. It's a pity we'd have to deal with spurs because they are cuntish when it comes to selling or loaning players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I just can't understand anyone saying no to him. Just look at the rubbish we have to partner Carroll. Its the fear he'll just be another flop ala Owen and Co. Suppose it all depends on Robbie Keane's mentality and how much he really wants to play football. A loan option would be the best I'd hope for (if we did go for him). Not too fussed if we don't get him though, not that I have any other names to put out there as an option.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I voted yeah...but meant to vote loan! haha But he'd be welcome in my eyes. Quality finisher and streets a head of our current AC partners. He'd be a hit I reckon. Alan, Alan Smiiiith! Alan, Alan SMIIIITH! Robbie, Robbie KEEEEEEEANE! Robbie, Robbie KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEANE!

summerof69 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Unless Spurs were after a massive loan fee then it would be a low risk transfer, so even if he was a flop there wouldn't be much to lose however if he is as good as we know he can be then it would be a gamble that is worth taking, imo.

Cronky Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Can't get enthused about this. He's better than Lovenkrands, so from that point of view he'd improve the squad, but I'd rather we went for a more imaginative choice. Keane looks good in flashes, but is too easily blotted out of a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 We're the best it gets for Robbie Keane, I think. And he's the best it gets for us, at this moment in time. Make it happen. This. Anybody who would rather have Shola/Best/Loven upfront needs to re think. He might not be the player he was 5 years ago but he's so much better than what we've got. And it would be nice for somebody to actually have a clue where to run for AC's knock downs and interperet where the ball will land. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Spurs asking way too much.So he's better than all our strikers save AC,I'm sure there are better deals to be had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 We've had Geremi, Butt, Duff, Viduka, all players on the decline when they signed here, but it's not something you can hold against Keane. You have to judge each player on their own merits, Keane would offer a lot for the next 6 months, he's much, much better than every striker at the club bar Carroll. I'm apprehensive about taking him on a permanent deal, I don't think he'd expect anything more than 2 year contract but obviously if the other clubs offered more than I'd hope we'd fall out of the running for him unless he's happy to sign for us on a shorter deal than over the likes of Birmingham and Wolves. A loan would be perfect but it's not realistic at this moment, unless we set up a loan with a view to buy after he plays so many games, like with Ben Arfa.
