Robbie Keane - would you have him back?

[TommyW]

taking full account of where we are in the league I can say with certainty I dont want him back, he was awful first time round and I cant see any reason why he'd be better now

 

waste of a wage

[Jonny83]

To be fair he is a boyhood Liverpool fan.

 

And Celtic.

 

And Wolves, Spurs, Leeds, Coventry, Inter Milan, ...

[G Richards]

Not for me. If we are going to sign players we need better than Keane. And if we can't sign players who are better - players who most would see as going straight into the first team - then I would rather keep our money and see what one or two of our kids can do.

[Best Believe It]

Are you insane? His legs are going already and you're talking about him being here for 4 years?!

 

He's not very good, in a big decline and is 30. We've already got enough of these sort of players.

 

Ders more to Robbie Keane dan dis.

 

In fairness, I'd sign Djimi Pornwank, no questions asked.

[PaulMcC]

Pacheco would do a better job than Keane imo.

 

Ngog is better than him these days, too.

[Guest PurpleNose]

He's absolutely fucking shit.

[Ian Sea]

He'd fit in well with all our other players with no pace what so ever.

 

No ta.

[dave]

Now that we're shit, he'd fit right in.

[J-V]

Didn't want him when we signed him. Don't want him now.

[mattyq]

No, no i wouldn't

[Bobby Hundreds]

Only if G+H still owned us.

[The Dude Abides]

He shouldn't even be starting games for the Ireland team any more, he's only in there because of his reputation.

 

That's how bad he is.

[Wor Horse]

Yeah, let's have another shite 30 year old on massive wages.

[Mark M]

I'm Irish and have watched him recently playing international games and he is way past his best now, he's that bad the front pairing for Ireland on form and effort should be Kevin Doyle and Shane Long.

[ReDeus]

On a loan till end of season? Very much a yes. Paying a transfer fee and keeping long term? No way.

[Trumo]

[Guest TK-421]

No ta.

[Code]

Actually, we sold him at the wrong time, he could have been the key in all our 0-0 games that season...

 

After we sold Keane we played 15 PL games, we won 12, got 2 draws and only 1 loss.

 

No one picked up more points than ourselves that period with 15 games played.

 

A lot of fans blame the sale of Keane when they look for reasons why we did not win the league, but thats just ridiculous.

 

Table from 31.01-24.05.09:

1. Manchester United 16 13 1 2 29-14 40p

2. Liverpool 15 12 2 1 40-12 38p

3. Chelsea 15 11 2 2 24-11 35p

4. Arsenal 15 8 6 1 30-12 30p

 

We scored 77 goals that season, thats 37 goals in the 23 games Keane was part of our squad and 40 in the last 15 after he was sold, if anything we sold him too late or even better should never have bought him in the first place.

This.

[mypost]

Funnneeeee and me will be on the same side in this argument for a change.

 

Yes absolutely. Preferably tomorrow if possible.

 

Unfortunately, he came when there was a war between coach and chairman. He was put on the bench after scoring 3 times in 2 games. We went on a shite run in the league soon afterwards, and lost it by 4 points. His decision to not celebrate when he went on to score against us, shows the class of the man.

 

He walked into Celtic and scored 16 goals in half a season, he's scored against all kinds of opposition for club and country. But sadly, his value to our team was unappreciated, and will be overlooked, when we're crying out for a support forward these days.

[The Party Boy]

Still wrecks my head we paid 20 million for him.

[llego]

Hell no. Proven waste of space at all levels.

[s(k)aturation]

Getting players that we've already paid shitloads for in the past? By definition, doesn't seem the way forward.

 

He's ok. Would be disappointing if his calibre was the best we could do.

 

13th in the League, yes, but would love to think we could aim a little higher staff-wise.

You really are clueless.Are you the same mypost thats infected the shamrock rovers website ?? and the Foot.ie site ??Hard to believe theres another like you out there

 

He's a overpaid prima donna ,too fond of pubs and clubs and kar-e-oke shouldn't even be starting in internationals..Celtic is about the right level for him ...as for his time at Anfield,nobody at fault for his departure only himself.Shit trainer,shit attitude and shit singer.Only people who missed him truly were the bar owners in Slater street.Pity really , as when he was younger he looked a real talent

[viking]

He would be a total waste of money and his best days are long gone. Pacheco is already here young, exciting and appears to have a great attitude hes one who could start more often....I would much prefer having Crouch than Keane....
