Robbie Keane Can Leave Tottenham In January, For Highest Bidder – Harry Redknapp

Robbie Keane: A peripheral figure at Spurs
Harry Redknapp has given the green light for Robbie Keane to leave Tottenham next month. Keane has fallen out of favour at Spurs – he isn’t even guaranteed a place on the bench these days – and naturally he wants to move to a club that can give him more playing time.
“I think he’d like to move – he wants to play, you know?” said Redknapp.
“Whoever offers the biggest fee will, I suppose, be the answer in January.
“He’s not used to not playing. All his career, he’s played and been a big player and he wants to play. He could sit here and take his wages, but that’s not him.
“He wants to play football. He trains hard, works hard every day, he’s shown a great attitude. Probably the hardest decision I had to make was last week: I couldn’t get him on the bench.
“It wasn’t easy when you respect somebody and what a good player he is or has been. It was hard, because he’s still a good player.”
Keane is still good enough to play in the top flight, and at 30 it’s not like he’s past it. Of all the clubs who might be interested in signing him, I wonder if a move back to former club Wolves is in the pipeline? Or maybe Celtic will come in with a decent bid. Goalshy Fulham could definitely do with a player of Keane’s calibre too.
Firstly, do you think Spurs should fight to keep Keane? And if he does leave, where do you predict he’ll end up?

I reckon hodgson will sign him up. 25 million for him seems fair to me
Villa would be a great place for Robbie to go. Carew looks past it and Agbonlahor seems injury prone. Robbie needs to move, he’s in serious danger of losing his Irish place to Shane Long. As an Irishman, I’d love to see him at Villa. He might even talk that other cunt around about playing for us!
I don’t get it… Why DOESN’T he play?
because he’s shit
Still has a lot to offer, great professional and apparently great around the dressing room. Good on him and Harry being honest with each other, Keane wants to play not just accept his wages.
Top lad, hope he does well else where
He’s not good enough, simple as that. He’ll end up at Villa or Fulham i guess.
Agree, Rubbish
MOST PROBABLY , at either Blackburn , or even Newcastle……..both ways , they need a partner for M.B. Diouf , Or ANDY CARROL…………..
As a NUFC Fan I would take him for a reasonable price, no more than about 6 million though.
On paper , he should do good with A.C
he was never the same after coming back from Liverpool…. but that’s not that suprising i s’pose, 6 months with the Scousers would be enough to alter most peoples’ mental attitude!
6 mill? Try 3.5 at a push.
LOL back to pool
his preference is everton (hanging around the training ground during the summer after the paddy duffy incident) our preference is that he signs for Liverpool again.
