Keanes Birmingham fee agreed,
I imagine the deal is still in its infancy, Robbie will be shrewd about his contract negotiations
considering it will likely be his last big money wage deal.

Wow Can't wait to order my R Keane B'Ham kit. Actually no, **** it.
Not having a go at you joe personally, but that is a load of ballicks from Robbie Keane if there's any truth to that. . Robbie, at this stage and at the nth move of his career, having had pretty good wages for the best part of 5 years now, needs to focus on the best footballing move for him now, not financial.Quote:

I agree, Robbie is set up for life and doesn't need the money. But contracts are about more than money sometimes, he'll be looking for as long a deal as he can secure and probably have a get out clause based on relegation. He doesn't want to up sticks to Birmingham and then find them in the championship next year and no longer able to afford his wages.Quote:

Goal.com not the most reliable but would be one less in Robbie's way if he moved.
England's number one goalkeeper Joe Hart has received a 'rocket' from his angry Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini after a string of below-par displays.

Again if true, good news for Shay.
The tabloids are full of rumours about Adam Hammill finally joining Wolves for 500,000 stg. As I have mentioned on this thread before, hopefully Mick will point him our way!
Rumours from the tabloids today regarding Irish players. - Newcastle want Stephen Ireland on loan and David Norris to Portsmouth for 250000 stg. - Daily Mirror.
Connor Sammon tells the Daily Record, he will only leave Kilmarnock for a club that suits him. Shock, horror!
Isn't Norris a right midfielder?? Might be gearing up to let Lawrence go back to the Premiership.. Where he belongs IMO..
think Keane had been playing him in the centre, but he's played on the right before.Quote:

rumours breaking on the Bohs board that Paddy Madden may have signed for a Premiership club. It seems highly unlikely in my opinion but worth sharing in case it comes through.
and it appears that the club in question might be Blackpool.
Wikipedia is usually right about descent as well, hell its usually right in general unless something is just a complete joke.Quote:

I'm a bit surprised by the attention shown to Madden across the channel. He gets into good positions but his finishing is pretty poor.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...692323,00.html - Would be a good move. They ran Spurs very close in the Champions League qualifier.
pretty astute summary SupremeFeet.
A couple of articles on the current make up of the squad and their playing time so far this season, doesnt make great reading, particularly with reference to our more established players.

Shay no longer our no 1?

Rumours from the rags. The transfer window is nearly closed. Robbie to West Ham (no surprise!), Shay to Spurs ( big surprise), Westwood to Newcastle and possible recruit O'Hara on loan to Wolves - this would be a good move for both Wolves and O'Hara.
why have wolves not gone for at least one defender? mccarthy always seems to be blind to certain things.
