Quote from: saunders_heroes on January 10, 2012, 12:45:50 PMI don't understand why everyone's so against this deal. Yeah he's past his best but he's still good for a couple of months, and I'm positive he's a better bet on the bench than Emile Heskey would be. He's hardly gonna break the bank either. And since when have we ever believed any of the nonsense printed in the Mirror?I think it has as much to do with the fact that he'll just about have enough time to have a sh1t and a shave and he'll be back in LA before you know it.

However hearing quotes of £500,000 - £1 million in costs just for two months is making me very wary, especially as it is in a position that isn't in dire need of strengthening (Bent is still a top class finisher if he gets the ball in the right areas).Listening to the manager when talking of being unable to pursue 'other' targets until the summer makes me think the signing of Keane is just an attempt at a 'cheap' morale booster to appeal to the masses. Nobody has mentioned anything like £1 million, and nobody is suggesting it's to appeal to any masses.The Daily Mirror reported on Monday in the match report of the Bristol Rovers game, that it could cost as much as £1 million. Oh well case closed then, it must be £1m.

McLeish sees his influence as similar to Heskey and he'd offer more as a player.

Tis the season of the busted flush! Jack Wilshere has just tweeted that Robert Pires is training at Arsenal. "Return of another legend?" Ha ha. A year older than when he hobbled around for us. I wouldn't be shocked if he turned out for the Goons again.Thierry is still good enough mind you.

If he gets 1 goal that means we finish 1 place higher than we otherwise would have done he pays for himself and we get a higher placing into the bargain.
