Irish striker to stay at Tottenham for another four years
Friday March 3, 2006
Guardian Unlimited
Robbie Keane has signed a new four-year contract with Tottenham.
The 25-year-old Republic of Ireland captain, who has been keeping England striker Jermain Defoe out of the Spurs team this season, highlighted the progress made at White Hart Lane under Martin Jol as a key factor in his decision to sign on until 2010.
"I had the feeling it was a club going in the right direction and I still believe this, especially with how the team are doing and the quality of players that have been bought in," Keane said.
"I am flattered and delighted the club have given me the opportunity to sign. I am happy and have a lot of good friends here - players and staff. Making the right decision was important for me and I feel I have certainly done that."
This is a good move. Jol rates him he just needed to motivate him. A Mido/Keane partnership will do the business for Spurs.
Could this herald a second coming for the Irish goal-scoring messiah? He fights his way into the first team at Spurs, is made captain and scores for his country (without the half-ar$ed celebratory cartwheel I understand) and now signs a new club deal.
Maturity beckons.
I think he is more mature and more of a complete player
I am trying not to get carried away but i think we have a bright future but the one position i worry about is central defence
I think Robbie Keane just sumed up his week with a wonderful goal against blackburn. Great skill!!!
What a goal!!!!! - Robbie has just scored an absaloute cracker for Spurs
Class goal alright. Great skill needed to create it.
Apparently he just scored a 'wonder goal' for Spurs, flicked it over
a couple of peoples heads or something and then volleyed it in, I haven't seen it myself yet though but it should be worth seeing.
I guess I am a bit of a slow typer!!
Was thinking the same thing:D.Quote:

Just seen his first goal.........cracker! That goal and his one against Villa are two of the most skilful goals i've seen this season.
And Bobby Zamoras with West Ham was similiar to Keanes goal today. Keanes was better though cos hes Irish!!!
I didn't see it but you just confirmed my suspicions by the second part of that post.
Hopefully Keane will get his hatrick now.
Game over, no hattrick but a good display by Keano anyhow.Quote:

Must use the Sky Plus and stop the frame when it's shown again to see if I'm right or just blind.
Smashing Keane goal though!:) What a week for young Robbie! Man of the match too.
Keane's first goal:

Great goal alright. Typical Robbie skill. Great play through the game today too. If he played like that every game would be one of the best players in Britain.
Robbie Keane's first goal was worth the trip to the pub and the first pint on its own. I'm sure the skillful flick over the head of the defender couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke than Robbie Savage either!
If the first was sublime, the second was a typical strikers goal - hopefully he can hold this form for a good long while.
Ade
He also set up the third as well. I was a mite hung-over but I spent the $20 and ordered the game anyways. The first goal had me choking on my crispix!
Great week for Robbie.
I thought Robbie was different class today. He looks very sharp at the moment. Its obvious he's full of confidence. I also think that we may look back on the past week as an important transition in Robbie's career. I think he is now becoming the mature professional that he needs to be. BTW, the vision he showed with the pass to Lennon prior to the third goal was outstanding.
Agreed but can he keep it going until the qualifiers? It would have been great seeing him in such form going to Germany but c'est sera sera.
And to think people use to say some goals worth the admission price to the game...Quote:

That puts him on 13, joint 6th top striker (with Rooney), in the Prem.
He was also 9th in the Actim index and his two goals today may well
see him go higher. He seems top be going from strength to strength.
If only he didn't play for the Spuds! :(
The man is a legend as far as I'm concerned. The second goal was his 120th competitive goal in club football.
I thoght Dafoe was the better player. I was wrong.
He seems to be maturing and growing into his role as a leader Keep it up!
I don't think anyone on this website needs to be apologising for their wavering faith in Robbie Keane's ability or how far he was going to go. Fluctuating form, weight and an increased immaturity (or perhaps lack of responsibility would be a better turn of phrase) have all featured in past questioning of Keane's future.
It does seem now that he is rising to the next level, it will be interesting to see if he continues in his current goalscoring form and carries it into next season and more importantly from an Irish viewpoint, the European championships.
I think that Keane, this season, has shown signs that he is maturing into a player recognised as World class. If Spurs were to gain champions league qualification then don't be suprised if he has a great season in it, and then maybe that World Player of the year may not be too far away:D .Quote:

Agree with FarBeag. And its only since October or so thats he's been performing consistently for Spurs. Fair play to him for knucking down, he looks fitter now than he did when playing for Ireland.
I only saw a bit of the game but Robbie is looking good alright. I thought Kelly struggled in the bits I saw though.
