January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[Greg N'Ash]

mebbe i'm being a bit thick but Keane's been over there since August and he's only played 4 games?? Is this mid-season break 6 months long or do they only play about 8 games a season?

Keanes absolutely brutal now, hence playing his days out in the states . Can't get my head around us bringing him in, rather give a young villa youth team player a chance.
desperate days indeed.

Just had a quick look and it say 3 starts 1 on as sub, so 4 played and the rest as unused sub.

Not prolific then.

aye. i must admit i'm clueless of the set-up over there but you'd think he'd have got more than 4 games since August. So not just shit but lacking match practice as well. oh joy.

Don't get there season, I've just worked out that they played 20+ games in the 2nd half of there season, being Aug/Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec, if Keane has only been in the first team squad for 9 of those games that would say he didn't even make the bench for the others, the only thing i can think of is Injury..

so 4 appearances in 20 odd games? jesus it just gets worse. I suppose we should be thankful Lerner hasn't tried to sign Beckham as well

The only possible explanation is that Keane must have been carrying an injury and was our of the selection process for all the other games, he has to be easily good enough for LA Galaxy I would have thought.

Even so not much game time for a 31 year old striker he'll need 1 month of those 2 to get his shooting boots back up to premiership standards.

No point to it I wouldn't have thought.

If this is true . Somebody needs to ask the question to AMC . Why Robbie Keane ?

He played in 8 games (started 7) and scored 3. The worry is he has been out injured as well. He played in their post season playoff ames as well which come under separate stats.

Well that's a lot better then, knew i had something wrong there simply because there is no way he wouldn't figure in American footy.

i've never known such a overeaction to player possibly coming in as Keane,
 he's 31 not 41,   he's not crap, he's better than Heskey and Fonzo
 he's coming for a short time not a five year contract,
i dont understand the meltdown

The LA Galaxy roster actually. You have to remember the yanks like having weird leagues and post season shite. I think they now have a champion league equivalent as well with the concacaf but I don't know this is the only thing they do as it used to be a top 8 of the league have a separate competition.

[Greg N'Ash]

because no-one can understand it John. If it was a view to a permanent deal then you could at least understand it if not agree, but 2 months as a reserve behind Gabby and Bent for 750k because he's "better than Heskey" just seems mental
