QuoteNot too sure what caps hes on, but if he hit 50 goals, by that time i reckon he'd have the caps record in the bag aswell, that would take some beating !Originally Posted by thejollyrodger
how many goals has Robbie scored now and how many caps does he have ?
I think the midget Owen has 70 caps and 31 goals.. he is going for the half century.
would robbie ever manage 50 goals ? It would be a great international record..

59 Caps and 24 goals in 7 years.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
does 24 include the goal against Celtic ? I thought it was more like 25.
Well his best years are ahead of him... I can see him getting to 40 goals but it would be some record to get 50.
I reckon Robbie will defintely get over the 100 caps unless he has some tradgic injury.
Very frustrating the other night though, the fact that he seems to need 5 or 6 chances before he puts one away. At least he keeps trying.

I'd have to agree with you there, he is very frustrating to watch especially at Landsdowne. He'll miss the easy chances and score the difficult ones. Best option we have though!
...doesn't count as was testimonial game not full intl game..
"Inflatable hammers and Leprechaun suits, & a chorus of "Here we go" or Olé, Olé"....
14 goals in 40 caps under McCarthy.
10 goals in 20 caps under Kerr (5 of those goals in competition which is good to see).
he can't finish easy chances- he only scores difficult goals!
robbie has done well so far to get 24. I reckon he can get another 4 or 5 goals in this WCQ against faroes and cyrus. Clinton is doing a lot better in this WCQ though
When Robbie burst onto the international seen all those years ago i thought he was the best thing since Pele(i was only a kid at the time) the last game i went to see which was Ireland vs. Faroe Islands, robbie scored 2 but he missed so many chances it became annoying to watch.
Robbie is a great player who is hard working but likes to moan when he wants. I think he will get near to or over 40 and he will do brilliantly to get that 50 but i cant see it unless he puts away those easy chances.
Bye the way......Robbies goal against Holland in that friendly lasy year was top class. just thought i'd ad that.
It's funny alright. Robbie does seem to miss an awful lot of chances. But his goals to game ratio for Ireland is top class, and he notched a decent ratio for Spurs this season.
So does this mean he gets more chances than others?? Every time I see Robbie he has 2 or 3 good chances. It's all down to his movement, I reckon. Can't be explained by pace, that's for sure.
Yeah, he certainly gets into positions that most other strikers wouldn't. He creates himself more chances with his movement. So while someone like Defoe might get 2 chances and take one of them. Robbie might get 3 chances and take one of them. It doesn't really make much difference although I would obviously love to see him improve on one on ones, etc.
Sorry if this has been covered before.
Can't find it here after a quick glance.
Heard on Friday that Robbie is considering a move to Newcastle.
Heard it again today from a second person.
So long as he's getting first team football in the top half of the Premiership then I wont be too upset.
He's not appreciated at Spurs anyway.

Mad to go to West Ham though they're a club I've a soft spot for. Newcastle'd be a good move IMO.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
I think if he gets the chance to move to west ham he should go for it because hes not going to get more than a years first team football antwhere else because he is very over rated imo
If I win the lottery I will personally put up the money for then cheeky cockney's to sign Keane!
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
Keane's goal scoring rates have been good at Spurs, Leeds, Coventry and Wolves and Ireland. Wherever he goes he will score goals - last year he had a good season, http://www.ananova.com/sport/soccer/...all.topscorers
I don't think he is overrated, but perhaps somebody can analyze the importance of the goals he scores, i.e. how many irrelevant goals does he score, e.g. a the single goal in a 3-1 loss etc. versus how many goals he scores that actually win points? I think I saw something before about Defoe's goals have a higher point value, that really would be a empirical test of his value.
Whatever happen please nobody take their clothes off!
Overrated? Defoe is rated at £17m, Keane probably £4m. No need to tell you which one is the overrated one.
