Radio 5 live reported that Tottenham have admitted talking about Keane at 5pm

Talking about him thou ? what does that mean ? Redknapp was talking about him the other day mate

Don't shoot the messenger
Just reporting what was said!
The press love :censored:

stirring about us at the moment.
Doesn't make any sense for us to sell at the moment with only a few days of the window left.

yeah definatly makes no sense at all unless rafa has someone to come into the team - cant see keane leaving - if he does leave it will be in the summer

by **THEBARON** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 7:11 pm

Yes - if he was to sell Keane now it would leave us short of striking options.
Keane is never gonna be a prolific scorer and Ngog is not the answer.
Most likely he could go in the summer

Sorry - meant to say Kuyt is never gonna be a prolific scorer ( not Keane )

by **GYBS** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 7:12 pm

and then we have to see how much we would get for him and what other options are out there instead ?

understood what you meant mate

by **THEBARON** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 7:14 pm

Doubt we will get our money back given his age and current form!
And who could we buy as an alternative?
Owen may have been an option but he is injured ( again )

yeah maybe owen on a free in the summer then any budget can go on a creative player that we really really need .

by **THEBARON** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 7:22 pm

Problem is most of the decent creative players could be out of our budget given our current financial situation - but I guess if we get a sizeable part of the fee back it could help

by **tubby** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 7:23 pm

Didnt Rafa say he has 3 months left to prove himself? So unless he was getting someone decent in excahnge I cant see Rafa letting him go till the Summer. Personally though I would rather see him go now.

yeah i know mate - pretty gutted that it looks like arshavin is going for 15 mil - he would of been perfect for us .

Makes you wonder why we ever purchased Keane anyway?
Our manager's favoured formation doesn't include him
He drops him when he actually scores
He is regularly subbed
I know he hasn't helped himself with some bad misses but has he had a fair crack of the whip?

i was shocked when we bought and couldnt understand it - i certainly didnt think we should of splashed that amount of money on a striker - yeah we needed back up for torres but we needed a lot more important areas solving before that
