Robbie Keane in a red shirt?
Yes please.
in our number seven shirt instead of Kewell?
as Churchill says....OOOhh Yes!
As the gaffer has always said, he wants players who will die for the shirt and will show desire in wearing it.
Robbie Keane is a die-hard Red.
Regardless of ability, they come first.
He has told Spurs he is off, and regardless of our rumoured transfer pot, all being we have to sell to buy, Barry and Keane have been our targets from the start, and regardless of our recouperation of money,they will be ours...
Remember at the start of the closed season, Rafa told everyone that he was signing someone that was not English, but could speak English?
I believe Robbie Keane was that guy, and I am whole-hearted in my belief he will sign.
Rafa wants winners. Is Robbie Keane a winner?
Rafa wants players who want the shirt. Does Robbie Keane want the shirt?
Rafa wants to win. Will Robbie Keane help him in his goal?
Do we want players at our Club, proven already in the Premiership, who will improve us?
Who said no? exactly not one of us.
We are nearly there, and will be THERE with players with ability from our league rather than ability from Europe now, and Our Gaffer knows it.
Why would we not be extremely better placed to win Our Holy Grail, if we went abroad with our dough, instead of enticing the players we need, in the areas we need to make us so much stronger?
Lets think about it, no bedding in of foreign imports regardless of ability, ( and don't use Fernando as an example of what can be achieved) there was only Van Nistelrooy before him who nearly done as well in his first season, the rest of the foreign imports have taken time.
Rafa has realised the fact that we all want our title back asap, and bedding in europeans wont accelerate that process, Quality premiership players, who will improve the side, and in Robbie Keane's case will fulfil a lifelong dream, will ensure we don't start slowly, will not draw silly games we should win, ( who remembers Nandos equaliser against 'Boro) and without a doubt, gives us the first team squad who can and will compete all the way for the number nineteen.
I can not think of a second striker in the whole world better for us than robbie Keane. One because he is already Premiership class, and two because he is a die-hard who will give his all for the shirt. And with Torres and Keane as our main strike front, no-one will moan about our weak bench, because instead of Crouch and Voronin, we will have Nemeth and then voronin to support the main strike force.
I had always worried about our chances next season because an injury to Nando would negate our threat going forward.
Rafa must have thought the same, and realised off the lads like Stevie G, Carra, and Jamie R, that with or without each other we can lead the line perfectly, and when together and fit they will be unstoppable.
To spoil this post, my twenty-one year old Son wants us to take advantage of Stevie G's relationship with Shrek , and sign him???....
I reckon that most of us reading this reckon Robbie Keane can and will thrive with us, and we have a very good chance to win the League, as by the time Scolari has his team settled, we can be away and uncatchable.
Wothcha reckon?
