    Manager Neil Warnock is interested in Tottenham striker Robbie Keane. (the Times)

    Ruud van Nistelrooy has issued a "come and get me" plea to Premier League clubs after the Hamburg striker opened the door to a summer return to England (Daily Mail)

    They would both want too much money, I'm sure.

    I'll second that.

    Keane has done well for the national side over here but his wages are astronomical and his form is Sh**e

    If by some miracle they were willing to play for a reasonable wage but it ain't happening.

    Whatever about van Nistelrooy, if we can't aspire to a striker like Keane, we won't last long in the Premiership.

    I dunno Ciarrai, he aint the Keano of old. Maybe if he got a good pre-season under his belt he could come back firing on all cylinders.

    Please not Robbie Keane a great player a few years ago but I am sad to state is past his best, Van Nistelrooy is an interesting thought.

    I would still prefer younger, hungrier players, such as Graham from Watford. I know that we have done well in the past with seasoned players approaching the end of their careers, but I don't see this as the way to go at this moment. I'm sure that the young players would be more in our wage bracket as well.

    I would like Graham from Watford but I have been saying that for a year
    Graham will be leaving Watford but I think quite a few premiership clubs will be interested

    van nistelrooy is we could get him on the cheap is certainly an interesting proposition, i'd still rather see us go for crouch and/or graham

    Both on their day were awesome. Unfortunately both have been past their best for a while now, on top of that they both tend to get injured for long periods. We need to spend wisely so I wouldn't touch either.
