Seems we do unfortunately. I'd rather we were trying to hijack Costa's move to China but if we're looking at players at the very bottom of the barrel Keane might actually be ok.

Not me, mate.
He's 36, was never as good as Defoe and he's been playing in America for about 5 years. He might be alright for a season in the Championship/League 1. I wouldn't fancy him to do anything in the Premier league, though.
I have no problem with us bringing in out of contract players at all but there have to be some better options on this list than Robbie Keane and Joleon Lescott

I would class Keane as a finisher - we've already got one of those (and a better one at that) - what we desperately need is a creator. There's little point in Keane coming in if he's not going to get any service.
In their day they were as good as one another, Keane was a fantastic forward wherever he went.

But I agree I think that he is somewhat past it!!!
That would be my main concern about signing him, I guess he'd be on the bench because otherwise how would he fit into our team.
Free agents... Perhaps it would have been better to get them in earlier, why wait til January?
Er just like 1977, 85, 87, 91, 97, 2003, 2006 my years as a supporter. But 1977 was amazing I remember the team really turning it around, winning at home 6-0, 6-1, 4-0 I was sure we would stop up back then, but drew with the mags and lost the dreaded Coventry and that team was a great bunch of players, playing on clarty pitches not bowling green types nowadays. There should be some sort of award for us for suffering for nearly 40 years, yet I still love the club and will be spurring us on (excuse the pun) against Spurs a week on Tuesday.
WAS a cracking player.
Let him retire, and stop this bollox.

He's only a year older than Ibra, he's not dead yet. Should Defoe retire as well?
Defoe hasnt been playing in outer *****lia for 85years.
He was playing in the same league as Keane and he made the switch to the prem alright did he not? If Keane was worthless he wouldn't have scored 80 odd goals in 120 odd games. I know the league is a poor standard but if he's fit as a fiddle and scoring bags of goals I don't see why he may as well retire. I reckon quite a few people wrote Defoe off saying he's past it and plays in a **** league.
I'd like to see you inform Ibra he's too old to be playing football any more.
Pointless discussing it anyway, I don't believe any rumours until they sign.
Compairing the zlatan to keane, is like compairthing Susan Boyle to miss world.
Ability, athletism(sp), playing in top leagues may prove a vital role
Keane is a hasbeen.
Linked on here since day one.
No thanks
As compared to Keane?
I actually didnt like defoe. But a whole different planet to this (hopefully ) nonsense rumour
Hopefully the rumour about the 17 mil midfielder is true and the Keane and Lescott ones aren't but I ain't holding my breath haha.
