Robbie Keane.
He gets a lot of stick off some of the fans whether justified or not, and we can probably all agree he can be frustrating at times. And maybe his press conferences aren't the most charismatic. But on Wednesday night he was immense, he was everywhere, his finish was sublime. He lead from the front with his attitude. I'd much prefer to talk about our captain then theirs. |

he was magnificent, gave it everything, a real captain's performance, probably his best performance ever for club or country...and he's not the only one it could be said for.
proud to say he's ours!

| Agree 100%. In my opinion he is one of the most frustrating players to watch he can drift in and out of games and drives me mad with his moaning etc but he can always pop up and get us a goal at the end of the day. On wed night he was fantastic and that rarely comes out of my mouth with regard to Robbie! He worked so hard and gave it his all for Ireland |

Keane is a legend for Ireland. He had a brief period under Staundon when he was tactically without discipline. Under Trap he has been top class and against France he was immense. The amount of goals he has scored is unreal and has scored against. Spain Yugoslavia Germany Italy France Holland and all of them were competitive goals and vital goals except the Holland one. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

| The man is an absolute HERO. 41 goals and people still give him stick. His workrate over the two legs was just unreal. I was in Dunne's corner for the captaincy but I think robbies proved himself. Absolute LEGEND!! |

robbies would have to be player of the campaign for me he scored some vital goals was it 6 or 7 in total this time and really led from the top, last campaign under stan he lost his way and got alot of stick every game, he never stops running and is a good example for young lads growing up, playing up front is not all about scoring goals his work when we dont have the ball is unreal at times the amount of chasing he does, berbatov would learn a thing or two from watching him in fairness ------------- But fumble in a greasy till And add the halfpence to the pence And pray to shivering prayer, until You have dried the marrow from the bone.

i think keane was a huge contributor to the berbatov at spurs, he doesn't look the same player at united.

Echo all the above lads and having been lucky to meet and talk with the chap, I can also say he is a very nice lad. The fookers I heard giving him stick when we lost to France in Croker made me wanna spit on them.
Take a bow Robbie, wonderful campaign, go get the 50 goals son. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

completely agree that he has been brilliant for us this campaign.
I hope it's remembered when he hits a bad patch for us cos I think it's disgraceful how quickly many of the fans in Croker turn on him, even if he can be frustrating to watch. ------------- I had a Macedonia! |

| Yep agree with all above, there are some total arseholes out there who love to give him stick for some resason, 'that keane is only a w**ker' etc, where they get this from i really dont know, ye just know they are not real fans at all. Keane has been unbelievable for us over the years and if he wasnt there id love to know who would have taken his place. |

keane is class. he will be at the next world cup. fair enough hel be older and mightnt be startin but what a class player to definately come of the bench. iv no idea who will be startin up front in four years time but imagine you needed an impact sub to come of the bench and bag a late goal.. perfect ------------- "We are not famous, but we’re warriors" |

He's really stepped up since Trap arrived, he should be higher up on that list (which is a joke...Stern John !!)

| He needs to get away from Spurs, will always be in the shadow of Defoe and wont get consistent run of games either, all strikers thrive on confidence which clearly he is lacking right now.... |

he needs to win his place back from defoe and thats all there is to it , he is the better player ------------- The first time the Devil made me do it. The second time I did it on my own. |

Never gonna happen, Harry Fiddler will always pick Defoe over him cos he is English and wants him to go to the WC....
Defoe is a better finisher IMO

Never going to happen he has a better chance of getting first team football where he is o neill is a bit of a fan of big man small man and allot of the goals that they get are fast pace if u stick keane into that he would just slow everything down plus o neill and agbonlahor sleep with eachother haha  ------------- G'WAN YBIG |

they couldnt afford his wages, wasting his time going to the SPL, joke league...apparently mcgeady s going to everton in the next few weeks 6m euro. lets hope robbie keeps up his scoring form as when he isnt scoring goals(unlike doyler) for ireland he is useless, his general play has been pretty poor in this campaign, bar france and monty away, and italy(home) ------------- My Views are my own and do not in any way represent this site.

one of Keane and Pavlyuchenko will be sold in January, but not both.
Keane is at least playing, so my guess is we could be seeing the last of Pav at White Hart Lane |
Posted By: kessler
Date Posted: 15 Dec 2009 at 3:55pm
In fairness I think it's nothing to do with the WC, it's just Harry has always had a thing for Defoe since he knows him from being a youngster at the Ham. Pav will go off to Russia in January, can't see Keane going. Maybe it'll be re-evaluated at the end of the season but he's still playing now so I don't buy the rumours. Everton would be perfect but I dunno if the Anfield experience/saying he's a fan would make it work. |

Can't see Robbie movin' on from Spurs again. He'll fight for his place, and 'arry will play him again. Plus, injuries will come round again to the others. One thing Robbie has tough bones, as he rarely picks up injuries.

Article in the indo today about him, suggested a permanent move is unlikely as few clubs outside the 'big 4' and Man City could afford his wages.
That is probably close to the reality of the situation. I suppose Villa would be a possibility if they shift Carew or Mr Em. Can't see him wanting a relegation battle at the Hammers, Celtic could defintely not afford him, even on loan, not an awful lot of options after that. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Hammers could afford his wages with the recent takeover but the Celts havent a hope. Unless it's a loan deal where either club pays half his wages i cant see this happening. I hope he bides his time.------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |
