Is Robbie Keane Useless?

Look at him and Shay Given. They can't get games for their clubs and it seems nobody else in England is interested in them. There is talk of Given going to Celtic.

Now Keane has beaten Bobby Charlton, which apparently means so much to him, he should throw in the towel.

Keane has had a bad club season, and Given is being paid 90k a week to be back up the the england no.1, but I would imagine he won't have any problems finding a club this summer. There is always talk of Irish players going to Celtic when they are looking for a move.

Do you think that it should mean nothing to him to have such a great scoring record?
 
Trap has recommneded Given to a number of Italian clubs, so if he has any sense he'll go to Serie A rather than the SPL.

Yeah, apparently there has been talk of Shane Long moving there although I'd like to see him in the premiership.
 
The Scottish league is so weak though, I would prefer if any players that who were looking to go from the premiership to the scottish premier or the championship i would urge them to go to the championship. Or if they could get it a move to italy or spain. now whilst some might say the spainish and italian leagues are not that strong but i would say that they are technically better
 
The word on the street is that Robbie Keane will end up at Fulham. Martin Jol is the new manager there and, when he was manager at Spurs, Robbie was captain.

I'd prefer to see a player playing in the Cork A.U.L. rather than with Celtic! Scottish soccer is a joke, IMHO.

I've never regarded Robbie Keane as a quality player. I think a lot of Irish people think highly of him just because he's Irish and probably wouldn't give him a second glance if he wasn't. He's been guilty of some terrible misses during his career.

Last Saturday's miss against Blackburn was woeful. If he'd scored, West Ham's chances of staying up would have increased greatly. But, on the positive side for West Ham, they probably won't have to pay him the million pound bonus that he was looking for, if he'd helped to keep them up! :rolleyes:

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
One thing he is very good at is sitting on his backside with his arms in the air pleading with the ref. I doubt very much if is he Mr Popularity in Estonia.
 
Robbie Keane is an excellent goalscorer, you can't really argue with that.

However, when things are going badly for him, he doesn't try to work harder, he just moans a lot, which is why he will never be as popular as a lesser goalscorer who works hard for the team (eg Kevin Doyle)

If you count Europe & South America the only players ahead of him are 3 hungarians (incl puskas), 2 brazilians (pele & ronaldo), 2 germans (Muller & Klose) & 1 argentinian (batistuta)
