Decent player. England C player 23, can play anywhere along the left, aggressive, competitive and physical, also he can cross a ball.

But who's going to be there when he crosses it?

Yep just seen that.

[Lighthouse]

If we end up with somebody like Robbie Keane. We will know we didn't get any of the players we wanted and have turned to a panic signing to fill a space in the squad.

[rusty shackleford]

If Keane can sit up top and score some of the sitters we miss every single match, then he'll be worth signing

[filham]

Well we should forget all about the window now for a couple of days and concentrate on tomorrow's cup tie which could be an exciting match.
Come Monday morning when someone at Motspur Park has had their first cup of coffee and hit the panic button their may be things to talk about.

Yep, that was plan Z.......

Never really taken much interest or notice of Robbie Keane, couldn't tell you the last time I saw him play, but what I will say is this , there were a lot of raised eyebrows when Glasgow Rangers resigned Kenny Miller, people were concerned about his age, his fitness and his desire for the game,
Well all those doubts have been put to one side now, Kenny Miller has been outstanding for Rangers this season, easily the best player, and I understand he has already been offered another year, the reason I mention Miller is this, him and Keane are the same age, they are the same build and play in the same position with a similar style of game, in fact Miller, Keane and Defoe are all similar players and all a similar age,
If Keane can offer half of the pace and movement to Fulham that Miller offers to Rangers then it's a yes from me, he will certainly add a few to our support,
Wish we had signed him a week or so ago so that he could have taken the penalties given against QPHa and Reading.

I agree- and remember McBride was no spring chicken when he signed for us.

mcbride was something like 31 or 32 when he joine, Keane will be 37 in 6 months

[colinwhite]

 Keane ? No thanks from me.

[Twig]

Keane ? No thanks from me.

Far too old

[Tooting legend]

Id have him in a heart beat his goal scoring record says it all. Would do a grest job in the championship.

Christ big name past it players, might as well go for adebuyour if true

he had a serious knee injury recently and looked distinctly average in a average league. he did score a 6 or 7 goals in 14 odd games in the MLS last season, but wasn't the player he was the previous 2 seasons

Yep just seen that.

No forward or long term thinking by the board if this is who we end up with after 6 months of hunting for reinforcements for our severely depleted forward line.

He'll probably pick up a few goals for us but at a reported £50k a week, seems to be a move in the wrong direction.

[BedsFFC]

That Peterborough guy is playing, so, I guess that looks unlikely.

lol, if he wants 50k a week, he might Aswell retire now as no one will want he for that

Keane would be 5 years older than McBride was when he joined. Mcbride was 36 (same age as Keane is now) in his last season for us and, after his return from injury, was one of the reasons we stayed up.

he scored 4 in 17 that season. You could easily argue that the fact that we retained him as first choice striker that season is the reason we flirted with relegation in the first place. I can't believe anyone would entertain signing Keane. Might Aswell go for Bradley Wright Phillips who always out scores him in the mls. And he is a third division player at best.
