Whosthedado 1,625 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 No chance that they'll be able to keep Keane. I wish to fcuk they hadn't got him in the first place or that he would get an injury. If they hadn't signed him the League would be over already 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,943 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 NB: I'm playing devil's advocate here... It may be slim, but it is possible. It would mean forking out a huge transfer fee and busting their wage structure but I can see them trying to appease the fans in some way. This could be it... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing for one of his many 'boyhood heroes' for a while and once it's over he wants to go back to Spurs. He's already said this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I seem to be getting sent text messages every day about what a waste of money Keane is but the reality is that he is quite clearly a step above this league and for our own benefit, i really hope that Celtic can't afford to keep him His touch and finish for timmy's first was a superb goal, as much as it pains me to say it. And he has 6 goals now - as much as he's not worth the cash, he does appear to be 'doing it' for them now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are now further behind than before he came. They wont win the league. Ergo he is not worth his loan fee nor extortianate wage. This loan signing is a waste of money, even if he scores a few goals. Whether he signs on after that doesn't affect the fact that they've made an error with the loan deal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Preston Burke 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Regardless of how many points behind they were then, and how many points they're behind now, to say that a player who has scored 8 goals in his last 6 games has been a waste of money is ridiculous. If they had 11 players of Keane's ilk, they would absolutely coast the league. I wish our fans would stick to ridiculing their players who have actually been a total waste of money (there's only 9 or 10 to choose from....) rather than the constant shit i keep seeing about the man who is almost single handedly keeping their hunt for any kind of silverware alive 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Preston Burke 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Just one random example; a mate texted me the other day saying '�£65,000 a week for Robbie Keane and Steven Whittaker has scored more than him!' as if that makes any kind of sense 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Keane doesn't want to stay. He's playing for one of his many 'boyhood heroes' for a while and once it's over he wants to go back to Spurs. He's already said this. He could be at a number of boyhood favourites next season, Chelsea, Man Utd etc.. . I would prefer it if he retired just like the other Keane did when he played for them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has not happened, in fact they are furthe behind. A gamble that has not paid off. If it was a typical run of the mill transfer at the start of the season, fair enough, i'd agree with you. But it wasn't. They put all their financial eggs in one basket and it has failed dramatically. It is the circumstances that make it a waste of money. He was bought with certain express aims and even in spite of his own good goal return, they have not been able to achieve these targets. I don't deny he is a good player or has scored a few goals. I am saying the transfer is a waste of money as it has not achieved what they desired. His signing has also, at last check, not made the (significant) difference with attendances that was hoped for/required. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
