Robbie Keane

**Colbert Report** · 16/12/2009, 9:31 PM

Robbie should go in January but economics will scupper any such move. I'd like to see him move to Spain or back to Italy.

If he leaves Spurs again its hard to know where he would go. Celtic is a non starter, they cant afford his fee or wages. Id like to see him on the continent but wont happen... possibly a link up with Duffer at Fulham could be an option.
I do think his situation at Spurs is not being helped by the English media wanting Defoe and Crouch to get as much game time as possible in the run up to the world cup. I read something the other day about how he had to leave Spurs the last time because Defoe was keeping him out of the team then like now, when in fact it was Defoe that had to leave because of Robbie.That wasnt the first time Ive seen or heard things like that in the media.The more that happens the more the fans get on his back and Robbie is the type of player that needs confidence to be anywhere near his best.

Thats called a defensive substitution!!!

Spurs winning 2-0 at tthe time with 5 minutes to go....no need for another striker.

I was surprised that he wasn't used at all...that was the point I was trying to make.

Wouldnt say Keane is on his way out just yet. Hope he will start some games again soon though.

**Acornvilla** · 17/12/2009, 9:31 AM

i like how at the beginning of the 2nd half keane was at the end of the tunnel wishing every individual player luck (while everyone else sat on the bench) hes still acting like a captian i cant see him leave

In fairness this is an interesting time for Robbie. Its probably a case of how much he wants to prove to himself and the rest of the world that he can still do a good job at this level.

It may take an injury or Robbie hitting a good run of form but I still believe Robbie can do a good job at this level.

Had we qualified for the World Cup I think Robbie would be pushing hard for at least a loan move in January. As it is I think he will probably sit it out until the end of the season at Spurs and then take stock. In fairness to him I don't think there's been any drop off from him but Defoe is in the best form of his career and it was always likely to be either/or starting most games and right now that means Robbie is seeing a lot of the bench.

Earlier in the season it was Keane & Defoe but as Robbies form slid Crouch came in, that said I think RK will get a nother run soon because Crouch looks terrible at the moment.

**tricky_colour** · 18/12/2009, 5:38 AM

Liverpool are struggling a bit at the moment......

Crouch caused a lot of problems for Man City the last night. He won countless headers and flicks that guys like Defoe and Lennon are thriving on. I don't see Defoe and Robbie playing together too often to be honest.

**goldengirls** · 18/12/2009, 2:57 PM

ya i thought crouch looked very good against city. terrorised them to be fair. Plus, keane and defoe just doesnt seem to work as a partnership and unfortunately it looks like keane is third choice. Id like to see keane up front with a big man like crouch though, maybe with carlton cole, kenwyne jones, kevin davies or even linking up with doyle at wolves

**rambler14** · 18/12/2009, 5:02 PM

Robbie and other 15 who had an unauthorised Xmas party are in big trouble!

Ryan Giggs might argue, but in general u are right

keane looking like he is in big trouble for organizing a spurs christmas party in dublin last tuesday, redknapp has being saying there will be "severe consequences" for those who took part. keane is said to be the one who organized the whole thing.

maby it only seems that way but is is just me or is robbie keane developing into a more pipo inzaghi striker as he gets older. he used to be like a playmaker striker under glenn hoddle but slowly he's becoming a poacher.

To be honest Im a massive Robbie Keane fan and I think hes just a brilliant footballer cabable of most things on a football pitch whether it be playing a killer pass or poaching like Inzaghi as u say.

Saw him in Coppers on the Wed lunchtime having a few beers with what looked like mates from Dublin.
