Robbie Keane

Moyes has no money, he needs to sell to buy and doesn't want to sell. He'll probably wind up playing Cahill as a striker for half the season again.

Was that a "yer ma" joke?

**weldoninhio** · 28/07/2011, 1:46 PM

If he's so interested in playing, still hungry, looking for a new challenge etc., why doesn't he buy out the last year of his contract and he'd be available on a free to a club. I'm sure he'd get a lot of interest as a free transfer than with spurs looking for 6 million plus. Or is he just happy to pick up his money????

**the bear** · 28/07/2011, 4:47 PM

can he do that without spurs approval?, why would they want to release him and get no fee?

Yeah, if he's long enough into the contract. EU contract rules have moved on a bit since Bosman. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport-old/fo...5875-20645881/

EDIT: it seems from that article that you have to give notice within 15 days of the end of the season, so it's not an option right now.

I read somewhere that there's a kind of gentlemans agreements amongst clubs that they won't support a targeted played doing a Webster.

Warnock looking for a loan deal:

Can't see it happening, though. I'm sure Tottenham will want to cash in at this point and as has been said before, QPR have a wage cap which I can't see Robbie going for.

That's pretty much it, no quotes from players, managers or agents. Not even a "source close to the club", so it could all just be filling space.

Ha, I hadn't seen your post here until now, but I'm just after posting something pretty much identical in the transfers thread on this story.

It disappoints me every time I log onto foot.ie to see the robbie Keane thread slip lower and lower and still no news of a transfer in sight.

Im also struggling to make sense of Robbie Keanes inclusion in the New York Cosmos squad for Paul scholes testimonial??

http://www.sportskeeda.com/2011/07/2...hester-united/

The squad apparently consist of Cosmos U23 players and former heavyweights from the world of football.

Posted an article on a potential move to Blackburn plus �10 million from Spurs in exchange for Christopher Samba. Read a bit like the usual gossip though.

**Yard of Pace** · 04/08/2011, 5:38 PM

Spotted him in some tabloid today (over someone's shoulder on the bus), a photo of him leaving a nightclub bleary eyed. Could be just a bad photo. Slobby Keane I believe they called him on the front page.

I never have nor never will understand the furore over Christopher Samba - he's not a �10m + centre half, nevermind a �10m + Robbie Keane centre half.

"Spurs boss Redknapp watches Rossi as Blackburn manager checks out Keane": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...ppe-Rossi.html

Blackburn boss Steve Kean watched Spurs striker Robbie Keane turn out for New York Cosmos against Manchester United in the Paul Scholes testimonial at Old Trafford.

**Spudulika** · 07/08/2011, 5:01 AM

Great of Robbie escapes the sky leagues and goes abroad. Love to see him get a couple of years in Germany. Though from all we hear his salary is going to be tough to match.
