Transfers The Robbie Keane Saga

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I didn’t rate him. He was a talented, playground footballer - instinctive finisher but shit when he had time to make a decision. Repeatedly made decisions that wouldn’t be allowed in the semi pro game
Interesting. Care to expand?

One of my uncles (a Derryman-cum-Dubliner) didn’t rate Keane, even though he’s Ireland’s top international scorer (for now level on international goals with Kane).

Said, “he misses too many chances”.

I blanked out his west ham spell completely.

His stock couldn't be lower in Ireland right now, he took a salary from a cash strapped FAI despite not working for them, was even brought up in the Dáil and he was asked to refund the money to grass roots Irish football but he said no. All the while, he was on TV saying how much he wants to develop the sport at grassroots. 🐍

Fine Gael Senator tell's Robbie Keane to refund 250k FAI salary to Irish grassroots football

Then there is the whole coaching in Israel debacle. He was linked with the Ireland job and it didn't go down well at all.

Fucking shame as he was my favourite player and loved the fact the Spurs captain was also the Ireland captain.
