If its a case Keane is moving, for whatever reason, I think Villa could be about the best move realistically available to him. He'd be by no means assured of a start every game at Villa either.

Depends what you are looking for. If it's a big target man with physical presence it's Carew. If not it's Keane.Originally Posted by tiktok
Villa on paper anyway would not be a bad move for him as Spurs and Villa are more or less at the same level so it would be a move sideways really rather than down for him.

No you are not, Carew seems to me if he couldnt be arsed any more, he is such a lazy player
Can't believe the way Harry Redknapp has treated poor Robbie. Playing him on the left, leaving him on the bench and taking him off in games.
Because he is not producing....
cos he has been completley gash this year maybe.......!!
And people mooting Villa....on what planet do ye see him getting a game at Villa??!!! Ahead of who?? Agbonlahor? Young? Milner? I think not!!!
MON always goes with one big one small, Robbie aint big and he aint gonna get a game ahead of the 3 i mentioned!
Did you know you're an absolute idiot and WUM?Taking off the green glasses and being honest, If i was a premiership fan, any my club were linked with John Carew or Robbie Keane.....I would be hoping to get Carew...Sorry.
(did ye know there is a council estate in Limerick named after John Carew)
Just as long as he stays clear of Celtic.
Benitiz saw the writing on the wall last season....
Flashforward four/five months when Keane has scored a hattrick or goals in consecutive games and everyone is praising him once again. Check out the Robbie Keane thread for proof of this trend throughout his whole career.
No doubt if yap is still around here by then he will still have found some obscure reason why keane isnt good enough.
No doubt he will possibly score a hat-trick at whatever club he's at in the future,that's a no brainer.. he does have a burst now and then but his consistency is the problem!!
While I think you have somewhat reasonable basis for your point re consistency, have a look at the following facts:
Wolves
97/98 11 goals, 4 (Goals/games ratio)
98/99 16 goals, 2.43
Coventry
99/00 12 goals, 2.8
Leeds
00/01 9 goals, 2.22
01/02 9 goals, 3.66
Spurs
02/03 13 goals, 2.46
03/04 16 goals, 2.56
04/05 17 goals, 2.64
06/07 16 goals, 2.38
07/08 22 goals, 2.0
Pool/Spurs
08/09 12 goals, 3.5
I think its safe to argue his time at spurs have been nothing but consistent with the exception of the last 12 months. In fact, with the exception of one season in Leeds, he has maintained a very consistent goals to games ratio since his latter Wolves days.
yapster you've made your point so leave it at that
I think we are running out of Irish players for you to have a go at. Remind us all again why u actually support the Irish soccer team(Im only assuming u do since u are spending so much time on a supporters forum)
Its really not that complicated!!!
You haven't read all my posts then have you.... Every player has a strenght and a weakness so I explore both sides especially in up and coming talent.
unfortunately I have read your posts since they are taking over every bloody thread in this section of the forum and as far as I can see Richard Dunne is about the only establish player you havent had a go at, but Im sure u are working your way around to him too
Its really not that complicated!!!
You do realise that 2 of those 3 are wingers?
And people mooting Villa....on what planet do ye see him getting a game at Villa??!!! Ahead of who?? Agbonlahor? Young? Milner? I think not!!!

and the other one, while a very good young player ,is extremely inconsistant
Its really not that complicated!!!
I think Keane would be able to play equally well alongside a target man, like a Heskey or Carew or alongisde a quicker player like Agbonlahor, but if the rumours that Heskey is moving are true there is no way Carew will go too.

Shay Given? Given & Dunne are the mainstay of this Irish side and Robbie Keane as well despite his faults. Duff to an extent but he has been erratic over the last few years. But Given & Dunne are the most accomplished players in the squad.
