QuoteEverton is the best option I think. Villa will have Agbonlahor when he comes back from injury. Everton have nobody capable of double figures goalwise.
Maybe but Pav and Defoe were on the bench. Robbie is obviously 5th now in the pecking order which is unacceptable for him. I know he's probably the most transferred player in history, but he needs to go to a lower league side where he'll get his game. Aston Villa would be the best option, but even somewhere like Wolves or Stoke at this stage would do. He just needs to be playing.

I'd say there'd be interest in Spain if he was willing. I think he'd suit the style of play there as well...
I am pretty certain that his days at Spurs under Redknapp were numbered from the moment 'Arry heard Keane (Spurs Captain, btw) had organised a players Xmas Party in Dublin under the guise of as "golfing trip". (Redknapp had specifically banned any Xmas do).Originally Posted by rebelmusic
The only reason he is still at the Lane must be because they can't get a transfer fee sufficient to satisfy the Chairman, Levy. But as soon as they do, or his contract runs into its final year, he'll go (assuming 'Arry is still in charge).
As it was, 'Arry accepted the (temporary) compromise of a loan to Celtic, so eager was he to get him away from the place.
Of course, it is not to say he will never play again under him, but if he should, it will only be a matter of pure pragmatism from 'Arry (injury crisis, "dead rubber" or shop window etc).
While you're here EG - has Modric become much more two footed since his injury last year?
Tbh, can't say I've noticed any difference. That said, I wouldn't have said he was esp one-footed previously or two-footed since - I've always thought him v.talented, with excellent all-round technique.
Meanwhile, re Keane: Mail has it he's on his way to Villa for £6m. Dunno if this story has "legs", but it is at least credible i.e. fee may be acceptable, since it is probably as much as Spurs will get, without being laughable. Meanwhile, it's low enough for Villla to meet RK's wage demands. It's Premier League, so the standard is high enough to satisfy RK's ego/career prospects, yet with so little competition for places he's likely to start regularly. And he's well enough known in the game for Villa/Houllier to be able to sell it to the fans as a "big" signing.

Keane is on 75k a week?............mouth drops to floor.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
was on massive wages at Leeds, when he moved to Spurs they were still paying part of his wages for the first few seasons (Fowler had a similar deal when he transferred to Man City). He had an increase when he moved to Liverpool, and is presumably on the same or better after moving back to Spurs.
Only in football (and maybe banking) would you ditch your job & head to a major rival, fail in spectacular fashion, come back with your tail between your legs and end up on better money!!!
I thought he might be on 50k......crazy world. Then again Yaya Toure is supposed to be on £250k.

It's no surprise at all to me that Robbie is on £75k a week. He has a couple more goals than Nicolas Anelka on only a few more appearances than him in the Premier League. Anelka signed a contract extension after the World Cup which undoubtedly saw his £120k per week salary increased.
People seem to be forgetting that Robbie Keane is actually a top class striker who has scored goals consistently throughout his career, for club and country.
Seems Sven and Leicester had a good tilt at trying to get him on loan recenty, all kinds of rumours about on on the boards and here http://www.thebluearmy.co.uk/news/Ja...l/article.html
I think going to Villa isnt bad at all. Makes 'Wolves and Villa the 'Irish' teams in the PL. Would mean we have 8 players regularly starting or coming off the bench from just 2 teams. Granted one of those 8 is the bald one...
Redknapp says he's leaving:

Though call for Robbie. He's getting a LOT of dosh to warm his backside on the bench (when he makes it that far). I suspect he'll have to take a big drop in salary if he moves but perhaps that could be compensated with a "signing on" fee. Perhaps he dreamed of playing for Sheffield Wednesday now that they have a bit of money
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I am only making assumpitions about his finincial situation but I reckon after more than 10 years of playing in the top flight and possible cuts of over 40 million spent on his transfers he his is already set for life. He could still earn 25 to 50 grand a week at a different club for the next two years and get to play regularly. That would probably be somewhere from 1/3 to a 1/2 of what he earns now and it's his choice if he is willing to do that. I know if I was a footballer with so much cash already in the bank, I would rather play regularly than letting the last few years of playing at the top level fizzle out as a bit-part player just to earn a bit more cash. I don't know Robbie personally but I'm sure he would have the same attitude and we will see him sign a 2-year-deal with a mid to lower table Premership team in January. If he continues like he is he will also be at risk of losing his place in the Irish team.Though call for Robbie.

The link to the Vancouver Whitecaps is laughable. Harry says that he'll be sold to the highest bidder. The Whitecaps will NOT be able to pay ANY kind of a transfer fee whatsoever.
Not even on the bench today.. Despite Harry naming TWO keeper amongst his subs!!
Good job he did, Gomes is going off now with a fractured penis after taking a ball at full force there.
Something hints that a transfer has already been worked out. Thank fluck
Could be Wolves according to this http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...rs/9266577.stm
Full circle, back to his first side and a link up with Doyle for a side where staving off relegation will be the height of their ambition for the forseeable, and if they fail, we lose both of our strikers from the top level. Surely he isnt this much of a busted flush so soon after costing Liverpool all that money? surely a Villa/Everton stature of club must be achieveable?
