There's only 1 Keaneo! (Robbie)

[lukespurs7]

Robbie Keane IS a Tottenham legend.

A few seasons back when he had that strop vs B-ham as he wasn't being played was the only time i thought he may leave but even then i've never wanted him to. When he signed it was just amazing, i ran around the house mad for hours as even before he signed for us he was my favourite player.

The past 3 or so seasons he has been getting better and better and the last 2 seasons he was been simply fantastic. He's playing the best football of his carrer, he now virtually NEVER misses and i mean NEVER. He has a poetic/special relationship with Berbatov and also the Spurs fans. To score 100 goals for any club is a fantastic achievement, well-done him. He is a great personality and a brilliant vice-captain. He really loves the club and at 27 he's in the prime of his carrer and has got at least 3 more world class seasons in him which will hopefully help him to break more records. only needs another 20 goals for us to break into top 8 all time spurs scorers as far as i can work out and only needs another 5 in europe and he'll be our 5th most successful striker in european competitions.

He is a special player, he's scored some excusite volleys and wonderful solo goals and everytime his name is on the teamsheet it is exciting!

WHAT A PLAYER, WHAT A MAN!

Loved the Berba hug. SO SO Glad Keane never left us. Delighted he's here playing for us and winning things

and for everything, he has done he deserves an appreciation thread.

post why you love the great little man!
+ fav Keaneo goal?-Either volley vs Fulham or solo vs Blackburn from in the corner OR tap in vs Arsenal at Highbury with stand still epic celebration!-yours?

COYS!

It was like a scene out of a film. The way he pushed Cerny and Lennon out the way to get to Berbie.

They both stick around and they are going to be feared as a partnership in the CL eventually.

 

[marchimself]

I love him, because he's "KEANO".

 

[lukespurs7]

His dance is a little bit 'special'

 

[guy]

yes both volleys when we walloped fulham last season were special. So glad to have been at the cottage that day! and dont forget the ball he put dimi in with at the end too, WOW.

we can adapt the JD song for keano now too:

One Keano, and he's a yiddo
& repeat

nah i like the one we already use, maybe we should use defoe's old song for Tainio? he needs some love too :wink:

 

[guy]

yeah youre right, tainios got his song already tho,
maybe

gilberto, he's a yiddo (its a syllable short tho)

 

[bomberH]

I love the way you've put 'Robbie' in brackets in case people didn't realise who you were on about (when posting a thread in a Spurs forum..... ) :wink:

And i agree. If anyone had any doubts how much Spurs means to him, we saw it on Sunday. A truly great player and character.

 

[Michey]

Robbie Keane IS a Tottenham legend.

Yup, he sure is. A true one that will be remembered in the books in the future.

People tend to use the word legend very sloppy....but Keano is one and that while having many years left on the pitch. :grin:

 

[llamafarmer]

I love Robbie. Fact.

 

[Juande]

Robbie is a true spurs legend and long may he continue

 

[lukespurs7]

He'd possibly up front with Jimmy G, in our best ever XI. Only possibly but still thats impressive.

 

[chinaman]

The chances that we had on Sunday, Jimmy Greaves would have had a bag of goals.

Hi Luke - glad you said possibly

Keane is a legend but he's nowhere near the level of Greavesie

JG scored 357 goals in the top flight - if Keane gets to 200 he'll be doing fantastically well -

Greaves was a great footballer as well - he could dribble the ball way better than Keane - he was a better passer of the ball too -

Robbie will never get in an all time Spurs XI - the goalscorer in front of him will always be Greaves - I can never see another like JG coming along - 37 lge goals in one season- (41 for Chelsea)

you might take lineker instead of Greaves cos of his modern day athleticism - you wouldn't take Robbie

the other striker would possible be Berbs but Lineker Klinsmann Smith Sheringham Chivers and others would have their claim


I think Greaves' career total was about 490- 44 in 57 internationals

 

[paulspursman]

he was great player before he joined i thought. was delighted we signed him. then he was a steady scorer for us and i began to love him even more but now WOW talk about upping your game he has been truly fantastic.

if we go on and win more stuff in the next 5 years with him scoring the goals without a doubt he will be forever one of the biggest legends of Tottenham Hotspur

Before the beginning of the season I thought Keane was a clearly worse player than Tevez. Now I don't think so. He scores more goals than Tevez and creates as many chances as Tevez. And he works as hard for the team as Tevez. Keane was pretty good against Chelsea and might have had 2-3 assists. :clap:

Interesting, Berbati. Imo Robbie and yer man, Berba, have struck up a pretty good understanding.

Has Berba ever developed an understanding with a regular partner before? And if so, what kind of player were they?

At Bayer Berba had a good partnership with Franca who was a very gifted striker and played for Brasil as well. Both enjoyed a fantastic autumn in the Bundesliga and the CL, season 2004/05. Bayer beat Bayern 4:1 (both 2 goals and 2 assists), Real 3:0 (Real played with Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul, Beckham, Carlos...) (both scored goals), and Roma 3:1 and draw away against Real and Roma (Berbatov's goals). But Franca was a psycho and soon lost his form. Then Voronin started next to Berba but their partnership wasn't good. Bayer went through a severe crisis in the first half of season 2005/06 (10-12th in the Bundesliga) and in the second half Voronin was dropped and Berbatov played on his own. That half season (the spring of 2006) was the best in Bayer's recent history (after 2002), they scored more goals than any other team in the Bundesliga and won more points than Bayern. It's not a pure coincidence that some of Berbatov's best performances at Spurs were when he played as a lone striker (Bolton, Man City away). But his partnership with Keane is excellent, there is no need to play him as a lone striker.

 

[Chaplain]

Has he had any good partnerships for the Bulgarian national team?

He has had a good partnership with Martin Petrov but the latter isn't a striker.
