In mine, it's absolute madness to pay someone, who no other club seems to want, nearly £1000 per minute to play a game of football.
I think you'll find they don't just get paid for the time they're on the pitch.
Still madness though.

So is this permo or loan? I've got no problem with either provided the price is right for a permanent switch. Don't want to be paying loads for a 31 year old. I'd imagine he would be excellent to have in this league so it would be a bit of a coup if we do get him in.
You presume that Tottenham would be happy with this. I don't think they would be.
Possible, of course, that Spurs would use much of the transfer money to pay off Keane's wages so that he would be willing to move to us for significantly less than 80K a week.
If we give him 25K a week, and Spurs give him a payoff to cover the remaining 55K per week out of our transfer fee (numbers pulled from my own arse). Then Spurs have moved the player off the books and opened up valuable wages.
That's how I'd structure the deal anyway. But I know basically nothing about how these things work so feel free to disregard.
That is almost certainly how a deal would be structured, although I would expect our part of the 'contribution' to have to be more than 25k a week.
that made me laugh... the only time Leicester fans put up posters of Ade Akinbiyi was to throw darts into!
Interesting to see Robbie was a boyhood Leicester fan
The bit in the rumour mill in the Guardian made me laugh.

It is a little known fact that when he was growing up in Dublin, Robert – he's 31, too old to still be calling himself "Robbie" – Keane had posters of Gordon Banks, Gary Lineker and Ade Akinbiyi on his bedroom wall. Now Keane's dreams are set to become a reality. A boyhood fan of Leicester City, the Irish striker is going to hotfoot it out of White Hart Lane and join Sven-Goran Eriksson's side for £3m
:icon_lol:
Is that serious or a pisstake?
