Robbie Keane - loan now confirmed

[littlevillain]

Of course I'll support him and you can't argue with his goalscoring record, after saying that I've watched him over here (states) numerous times and he's basically like a fckn pub player now, hence the move to the MLS.  He misses more sitters than bent.

Has the deal hit a snag or something? They're taking their time.

Thats the only reason I want him to sign

I can guarantee that wasn't my first thought!

It's definately a different age when the first thing you think is "lovely paint job on those stairs".

What Americans can do with cosmetic surgery, Robbie Keane looked completely different to that when he was over here, let me add to that I think the change is a massive improvement, is that the LA Galaxy strip!!!!!!not bad, do like the hoops at the top of the socks.

Well, perhaps we should sign him, bring a whole new atmosphere to player unity in the dressing room, personally I've always been sold on him coming.

Double Maths in the morning?

His international record is superb in fairness, and he from memory does turn up in the big games for them.

Lee, I am only 29 and my first thought was she needs a square meal. Although the meal could wait the whole 2-3 minutes it would last.

Have to say - and obviously, the girl will be distraught - that does next to nothing to me.

She's entirely shapeless, for a start.

She's far too thin, too - I've seen more meat on a butcher's apron.

Heres one for you Paulie

No, just because I think she looks scrawny and shapeless doesn't mean I fancy Susan Boyle, JP.

numerous times - how many games has he played for the galaxy - 4? What forward doesnt miss sitters by the way - they all do. The Michael Jordan quote about the 9000 shots he missed is appropriate for the likes of Bent and Keane. The scoring tallies of both players indicate though that they score more than they miss and both players arent afraid to get in those positions. Something I think that is lacking in Gabby's game. He doesnt get in enough scoring positions for me.

Keane was the best player in the MLS final anyway and that was just after the playoffs against Estonia. Granted the standard was poor and to be honest I think it is a joke at 31 that Keane decided to effectively give up on his club career by moving to LA. I think the Liverpool experience really hurt him and he has lost his appetite for the club game since. Hopefully with the Euros coming he will really give it his all in these 2 months.

He has a lot more guile to his game than Bent who is essentially a finisher and nothing else. Still a move for Keane suggest we will be going 442 again. Im wondering has McLeish learned anything this season if that is the case. We are far better like in the Chelsea game with an extra body in midfield supporting the front man.

Hopefully the signing of Keane will act as a big kick up the arse for Bent. Bent has been poor this season. I'm struggling to see how either of these three will play well alongside one of the others. Keane needs a target man of which we dont really have one. Bent and Gabby like playing up top by themselves.
