      5m + Lennon + O'Hara for Keane ?

      Tottenham will offer £5m plus midfielders Aaron Lennon and Jamie O'Hara - valued at £10m and £5m respectively - to tempt Liverpool into selling former Spurs striker Robbie Keane. (Daily Mirror)

      I'm sure many people would have read this. I'm in two minds about this one because although i'm happy giving Keane time, he just isn't scoring when he should be and i believe it would be a good deal for our club. Get Babel playing just behind Torres upfront, Lennon on the right.

      I'm not buying any of this 'give the lad time' stuff, sorry. 

      He's a £20 million striker, how old is he? 27, 28? He's played in the Premiership for years.

      There's no way in the world he should have taken this much time at all. 

      Great players at that age don't need time.

      :D

      I'm all for giving him time but he shouldn't need til new year to settle in. He has never taken this long before. He can't cope with the hype that was given about his signing and he clearly can't cope with the pressure of Liverpool paying so much for his services.

      Don't you think this would be a good deal though? Finally the fast tricky winger we've always needed and wanted.

      I don't know how the value of that deal stacks up, but I would take Lennon.

      Honestly I tink this is a good bargain.

      We get a good young winger and babel can move to a central forward role, plus we get another mid feild player and abit of cash to fill in the gaps
      *cough* wing back *cough*. Either way i see it's a win-win situation for us. :D

      Lennon...

      I would take him.  But at the cost of Robbie Keane?!  I agree with what JD said that we shouldn't be waiting for him to hit top form, but I'm willing to give a chance for when Torres gets back.

      Torres has been on and off the injury table and we haven't seen them upfront much, (when they were starting to show some real creativity together) after all, Rafa did say he is the perfect partner for Fernando Torres, that's what he was brought here for, to assist Torres.

      But his shots to goal ratio is shocking for a player of his real calibre.

      Why not at the cost of Keane? Top form; he hasn't had any consistantly good form what so ever? £20m for somebody to just assisst his strike partner, why bother if that's the reason why we bought him. I say do £8-10m + Lennon and get the deal done. If he isn't playing well come the end of January.

      We're dealing with Rednapp here! Alarm bells!! Lennon has probally a terminal illness.

      An unhealthy Lennon looks better than a healthy Keane on the pitch if that's the case ;D.

      Keane will get a season, Rafa can be ruthless but he does give most players a fair crack at the whip and a season is pretty much right. Who knows he might go on a tear the second half of the season :D

       As far as their players are concern O'Hara I wouldn't touch because we already have a good young left sided player in Insua but Lennon would be a good player to take a chance on, he has good pace but maybe he could develop a end product.

      Why would we need O'Hara? He'd never play here, he's not good enough. I'd take Lennon, though.

      I do want to see Keane given more time, and I think he will be too. But really speaking he shouldn't be this poor. He should have contributed a little more. Mad thing is, I can see him coming good and hopefully we'll all laugh that this was even considered.

      I'd consider it at the end of the season if the scenario hadn't changed, certainly regarding Lennon plus money.

      At least explain why you think I'm wrong..

      He hasn't been here a full season.. err.. Am I wrong?
      Crouchie took a while to get going err.. Am I incorrect?..

      He's a quality player who is under performing for whatever reason, therefore he has "got it" but he's not currently using it.. I agree that at some point with a player who's not coming up with the goods you eventually have to draw the line but i think a few months is way too soon..

      Yea because Crouchie did great when Nando was here..... so i dont see that as a valid reason to play Keane. However, i can understand you thinking its too soon, fair enough its most likly because you never had a real opinion of Keane up untill he was linked with us, me being from Ireland i had one, and it was of him being over rated, thats why im fed up already becuase i never liked him in the 1st place

      I don't know. I just don't know. I'd like Lennon, a fast tricky winger, what we've lacked.Don't know about O'Hara.
      I'd still persist with Keane though, he's been poor so far but is just as likely to score loads after New Year, i just think if we get behind him he will come good. I think he is a player who relies alot on the fans. If they're behind him he will fly, if they're not he will feel un-confident and perform poorly.
