Robbie Keane?

[Jim D]

Ideally pausing and looking down at a piece of card just before saying 'Brighton'.

Wouldn't he have an autoque?

You'd trust a footballer to read an autocue!

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

Yes please. His experience will do wonders, and he's actually still got goals in him

 

[Captain Sensible]

I'm not sure about this, he has no pace anymore, he can still finish but he won't put a shift in defending, because he's not able to. I don't see the point of signing him.

Good point re defending - no way he can harry the life out of defenders like Sam does - such an important part of how we play

And for that reason, I'm out. He will have nowhere near the stamina or speed that we require in a player alongside Murray or Hemed.

Next!

My biggest concern about bringing anyone is that it's some @@@@head, who disrupts the harmony within the dressing room. That's the key to us going up, we're already strong enough to get top 2 IMHO.

Whilst Robbie probably wouldn't be my first choice now (maybe a bit strange as I'm Irish and grown up watching him), he'll be great around the place and still has that fox in the box quality about him.

So, it's a YES from me

Surely any one with the experience and a reputation like Robbie Keane can just sit on the bench in China and earn a few million pounds.
Very few experienced players would want to play in the Championship for their last gig.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

We need Baldrick cover i.e. pace(ish) and bundles of energy. Keane does not fit into that category.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

I imagine CH knows RK well and what he offers both on and off the pitch from his Spurs days and ROI connection

Robbie Keane confirms he has had offers from Championship - but not Leeds United

Robbie Keane has confirmed he is considering offers from the Championship and expects a decision to be made in the "next couple of weeks".

Preston North End are the bookies favourites to land the Irish goalscoring record holder while Keane's former clubs Leeds United and Wolves have also been mentioned as potential destinations.
Speaking on TalkSport today, Keane didn't rule out a move to Preston but admitted there have been no offers from Leeds or Wolves or the cash rich land of China.

"Keep this space, the next couple of weeks and we will see what happens," said Keane on TalkSport.
"I have had a couple of offers in England and abroad. I have had to knock back a couple because it was too far away.

"I have got a few offers on the table. I have had a lot of people asking are you coming back to Leeds, Wolves etc. But you can’t go somewhere where there is not an offer.
"I definitely haven’t heard from Leeds or Wolves. There area a few other Championship clubs who I don’t want to mention at the moment."

He'd better make his decision within the next 10 days.

Can sign for anyone at any time he likes as a free agent.

Good point.

I hope he likes lurid pink shirts then.

Are you trying to park Robbie?
