I never said he was linked there, I just said I'd like to see him go there myself. They're basically in the same position as Manchester City were two years ago.Quote:

Nah. I think he's off again one way or the other.. There's alot of "Poker" going on.... He'll move on loan again at the very least.
It seems nobody wants him at the moment. West ham brought in Bridge on loan who is on 90 grand a week. Birmingham brought in Bentley who has to be on similiar money to Keane. Quinn's comments last night saying Sunderland need a Big guy sounds like ****** considering they sold Kenwyne Jones. Ideally I would like to see Everton sign him as I feel he might do well there with the way they play. They have a good manager (and they need a goalscorer).
and they've loaned out Yakubu for the rest of the season to Leicester.Quote:

I can see the fee coming down the closer we get to the window or possibly another loan at the very least..Quote:

Keane would have to accept a drop of around 20,000 a week if Everton were interested (Everton's ceiling is 45,000 a week at the moment and they will allegedly not break that for anyone). Mind it is worth a minimum of 40 million for any club to remain in the Premiership and there are only a few proven strikers out there with Premiership experience. I'm just surprised there aren't more clubs publicly interested in Keane at this time.Quote:

Hmm, Keane has so many reasons to be loyal to Liverpool...Quote:

Had a touch of that myself when the Birmingham angle fell through. I hope we're both wrong because he couldn't be any more surplus to requirements where he is. 10 days left in the window. Plenty of time for something to happen I s'pose.Quote:

I don't think it'd be a tough sell at all. They're crying out for a striker. I really don't think the supporters would care who he liked when he was a young fella kicking a ball off a wall in Tallaght, or even the disasterous few weeks he spent playing for Liverpool. Spurs fans had no problem taking Gallas, United fans, for the most part, had no problem taking Owen (and even those who did put it to one side as he scored an injury time winner against City). Everton would be a super move but I've a feeling he's happy enough to stay where he is, collect his big bucks and hope that an injury or three gives him another opportunity along the way.Quote:

Everton fans dont want anything to do with him........go to any of their forums where it has been mentioned. Thay dont not want anything to do with RKQuote:

The whole thing with the government looking about as stable as a gibbering lunatic driving a car along a plank balanced on a giant football on the edge of a badly eroded cliff? That's a diversion.

In the cold light of day, its a 30 year old Spurs sub, majorly hesitant to move beyond London who demands 65K a week.
As great a servant that he's been to us - he's not Messi.
Wolves did try to sign Keane on loan before he moved to Celtic so they know his wages. He obviously knows MM, played for Wolves previously and Ebanks-Blake is out injured. I can't see Fulham or West ham signing him at this stage. Staying at Spurs is a complete no-no as he will be lucky to make the bench for most matches especially if they buy Rossi. Give Mick a call Robbie.
Don't know about that!Quote:

I think if Robbie lowers his wage demands he would be a great signing for most Premier League teams. All he needs is a good run of games and he's pretty much guaranteed to score you goals at that level.
Harry defends Robbie over the 'wage demands' that everyone assumes.
http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-ne...-join-west-ham
Quote:
“When they said they couldn't meet his wage demands that was totally unfair on Robbie because he had never made any demands. He never ever spoke to Birmingham and made any demands."
This is Arry who said he wasn't signing Pienaar a day before he did. I believe Keane when he says he never spoke with Birmingham but Arry is playing semantic games here. Spurs agreed a deal with Birmingham. Arry told us so. And it sounds from that piece he is putting Robbie firmly in the shop window.Quote:

But Geysir it is reasonable to think that he wouldn't demand something like 65K/W from Birmingham, no? While I agree players are greedy when they have the upper hand I also will allow that he probably is willing to sacrifice a little so he can play....
I hate this time of "International Football Cycle." The first Winter after the WC is so bad. At least this time next year we will be talking WC. (Or 2012 to all you glass half full people.)
And John83 sorry, all the suffering in the world.. What a Martyr are ye....I see you have fancy medals so you must be a General. Sorry, General. I regret mentioning my snow. For all the suffering to be heartly felt by a 5 AM internet post......Shame on me.
Harry was in Spain mid week to check out on some Argie looking bloke called Diego, who plays for Atletico.
Harry mugged in Madrid
The Spurs manager said he did not believe the muggers knew who he was.
"I just probably looked stupid or something, and they thought 'here's one here, he's not Spanish, obviously and we're looking for a foreigner'."
In this instance Harry has proven that he has good mind reading instincts. He uses those instincts to explain in a coherent fashion to simple folk, the motivations of other people who are out to get you.
I have no doubt that Harry is an able, sound and honest witness.
According to Birmingham City's Vice chairman Peter Pannu, Keane turned Birmingham down but Brum also pulled out of the deal. How can you pull out of a deal with someone who never agreed to one. Bizarre stuff. Stephen Carr was involved in trying to get Keane to move to Brum. The Sunday World is suggesting Keane will have to take a huge paycut (almost half what he is curretly on)to get a move to either West Ham or Fulham and remain in London. http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soc...288147556.html
In Harry's world, foreigners are not to be trusted.
Does it not strike you as unbelievable that Carr never mentioned Robbies' wages and his expectations to BCfc? It looks like Birmingham pursued making a serious offer to Spurs with that unresolved elephant size wage issue in the room. This is about the 6th time this has happened with Birmingham this season.
This Pannu guy sounds like a right spoofer. Carr probably told Keane to stay well away.
Trap tells Robbie to find new club!
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...e-2509125.html
Vancouver Whitecaps (Johnny Giles old club!) or a championship club (I'm Guessing Leiceister who are also interested in signing Given).
Im making up my own rumour on this one... loan move to QPR for rest of season with a view to a permantant move if they get promoted. They have a few injuries up top, rich owners and are a London club
