Thread: Keane Return on loan

Sorry I don't want a player who only wants to come to us when he realises that 'Arry doesn't want him. What happened to, "Playing for Celtic made me realise my hunger for the game" and talking about showing it at Spurs. Aye, until he was told he wasn't wanted.

Been thinking about the Keane situation. Loads of questions. Does he want to play up here? Will Spurs let him? Will we pay his wages? Does he think he's achieved enough to become a legend here? Does he want to go to a smaller EPL team than Spurs? Would he get a chance at CL there?

Loads of questions. Who's asking, me or Robbie Keane?

Fair enough, there's no doubting he's a quality striker. Just don't like players using our club as a stepping stone, and as last choice.

He's not Larsson. Great player for our standard though.

If players of Keanes calibre runs out of options and we're the next best thing...

..well, beggars can't be choosers my man.

Pish state of affairs, but it's the way it is.

edit.

I was never comparing Keane to the King of Kings, seemed like you thought I was... throwing that out there for anybody else

Exactly. If we had him from the start of the last two seasons, we'd be on 5 in a row

I AM NOW CONVINCED THAT WE WILL HAVE HIM. No way we could start the season with Fortune' and Rasmussen

Get him fucking back NOW!!!

Keeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanoooooooooooooooooo!

Seems like a loan deal is a no go...

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has vetoed a possible second loan move to Celtic for Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane – but could be open to selling the Dubliner before the August transfer deadline.

Keane spent the second half of last season at Parkhead, scoring 16 goals in 19 appearances for the club.

That success, in a disappointing overall campaign for the Bhoys, raised the prospect of new Celtic manager Neil Lennon, who finished last season in charge in a caretaker capacity, making a move to bring Keane back to the club this summer.

However, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has dismissed the possibility of allowing his sometime skipper to leave White Hart Lane on loan again.

Redknapp said, "I wouldn't think that's a possibility, no, because we paid good money for him and to loan him out again, it wouldn't be a goer.

“If Robbie's not happy when the season starts and he's not playing then we'll sit down and discuss it. And if he wants to move, someone will have to buy him, but I'm hoping he comes back in to the team and makes a real impact.”

Think the only way this is goanny happen is if McGeady is included in the deal. Does anybody know what Aiden's wages are at the minute?

Gutted about this news. We desperately need good front men.

Squire,

I think McGeady is on $16,000 a week (at least that is what was quote when there was talk of Spartak doubling his wages) and Keano is on somewhere in the rage of 80,000 a week.

Redknapp has expressed interest in McGeady before, and the Spurs have been linked with every bloody winger under the sun so there you go. Silly season in full effect!

I think McGeadys on £19,000 a week and Keanes on £65,000

I was thinking it was about £20k aswell. Obviously Keane's wages would be the hardest part to deal with but we done it last season so why not again? Especially if MGeady and Boruc are goanny be heading, which i think there's a good chance of. If not then there will be no Keano, simple as that.

I read somewhere that Eiður Guðjohnsen had resigned on loan for them, I'm sure there was some tie in with that during the initial Keane loan......Maybe

get him here

Harry redknapp has said he wont be open to a loan deal - hard cash only

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has refused to sanction such a move, claiming he is only interested in hard cash for the Republic of Ireland captain.

Asked if Keane would be returning to Celtic Redknapp said: "I wouldn't think that's a possibility, no, because we paid good money for him and to loan him out again, it wouldn't be a goer.

"If Robbie's not happy when the season starts and he's not playing we'll sit down and discuss it.

"And if he wants to move someone will have to buy him but I'm hoping he comes back into the team and makes a real impact."

And that's that
