3 subs made and Robbie unused today. Hope a move happens for him in the next few days
I heard a move to Newcastle was on the cards, rumours of a medical were denied but they have admitted they are interested in Keane.

Crouch has a broken rib. Me thinks Robbie will stick around at Spurs.

Celtic given permission to talk to Robbie Keane, I hear.
Well that would end their interest in Stokes!!! I hope he doesn't go back there and gets a Prem club instead but with Crouch breaking a rib and Defoe needing a groin op, if Harry hasn't got a new striker lined up, Keano won't be going anywhere!!!
As Lenny points out above it looks like Harry won't let Robbie go anywhere unless he has a replacement before the window closes:

Arry is really messing Keane around. We won't let him go unless we get someone in. So as soon as Spurs sign someone before the deadline Keane is out the door (and the likelihood is Spurs will sign two more forwards). Not playing him in the last two games. Arry is showing Keane a lack of respect. I hope he gets a move to Villa or Newcastle but definetely not West Ham.
Fabiano has signed a new contract at Sevilla, though, granted, he would have been limited use to Spurs as he was already cup-tied. Arry's always been able to pull out some good signings at Premier League level but he's shown himself to be very naive in his transfer dealings this summer.
looks like he may have to sit tight at spurs at least until jan.
I imagine he'd have nicked a few at Newcastle playing off the monstrous Carroll. His relationship with Redknapp can only go from bad to worse with the latter referring to him as 'Mr. Angry' in the press.
You'd think most managers would be happy to have someone of Keane's ability at least as back up, and with Spurs looking to be competitive in the CL as well as the EPL strength in depth is important. I'm not sure it makes commercial sense to go into the market to seek a replacement for Keane. I reckon Harry is making Keane pay for that Christmas party in Dublin. Quite frankly Keane should pay, but maybe it's gone beyond repair now.
It was an anonymous "source" who told the press, not Arry.Quote:

Head to West Ham/Newcastle/Celtic where you'll actually be wanted by your manager and fans.
The great Harry Redknapp.....

Maybe Robbie was'nt grateful enough when Arry saved him from Benitez. It looks like London bridge has fallen down with Arry on one bank and Robbe on t'other.
I don't really see what Arry's done wrong here. He's been fairly open in his appraisal of Keane - a useful player but one he'd send on his bike if he brought in another forward. Spurs own his contract and Robbie has no right to complain if he's not doing enough to get into the team.
:laugh: The pressure is getting to him already and its only August.Quote:

Just appeared on the Sky Sports News Transfer Deadline Day Countdown To Closing - Besiktas in for Keane on loan
<EDIT>
Article added to skysports.com - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...350039,00.html
I thought he'd be off to Everton (swap with Pienaar plus £).
robbie will be staying put it seems, unless something late late happens which looks unlikely now.
For the record the Turkish transfer deadline isn't until tomorrow I believe, so ESPN says a deal with Besiktas could still be in the works.
I hate that ******, Del Boy is very apt for him, bent as a coathanger.Quote:

I have my doubts whether this story is really accurate but the Daily Mail (enough said) suggests Robbie turned down an 8m move to Besiktas today. I can't say I'd blame him if he was only given a few hours to make a decision.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...ktas-move.html
you know with European football and the fact that the turkish league seems to produce decent enough sides for CL group stages it might not have been the worst move. it wouldn't have been a bad experience.
wouldnt have been a bad move for a season over there but I would imagine having a young family might have put him off the move
Yeah, I just think the nature of the transfer window is that players get put under pressure to make ridiculous last-minute decisions. If Besiktas really wanted him they could have made a bid weeks ago and given Robbie and his missus a chance to go over to see the place and meet the people before making a decision. It's one thing to go out on a 4 or 5 month loan to Glasgow but a permanent move to Turkey is a big decision to make (even for a millionaire footballer).
It looked like Robbie Jr. would melt in the sun as well - good pale Irish skin on that lad based on what we saw of him in Lansdowne :p
Turkish food is fantastic.
At least it appears that our reliance on England to contract our better players is being diluted a bit. Hopefully the same will start to apply for our more promising developing players.
Is McGeady the furthest east an Irish international has been contracted to?
Nah, Phil Babb played for Sporting Lisbon. That's almost the whole way around the world.Quote:

Brian Kerr and Tez Phelan - poles apart.
OK! Current international...Quote:

look im sure robbie didnt want to uproot him and his family to turkey, other than playing id imagine it may be hard enough to settle in over there. he will have enough games i hope between the league, carling cup, fa cup and champions league games to keep him going till jan. then he can asses the situation over a possible move.
Can someone tell me why Osarusan was banned?
It says some thing like "turns out it's total bull"
Is that a reason to ban someone, because something turned out not to be true?
And what was not true? What is the 'it's not clear.
He has posted here for about 6 years, it seems a bit odd to ban him for posting something which turned out not to be true (apaprentl).
Hopefully at least one for Robbie tomorrow. I was expecting a tirade from Yapster on his missing a couple on Friday but I was quite pleased with his overall performance. I would start to worry if he wasn't getting in to goal scoring positions and he should of course have had a penalty. He and Kevin D not seem to be working well together.
