The Championship thesedays is unquestionably a much stronger division than the SPL.

It wouldn't be a natural choice for Robbie, but Leicester are certainly one club that will meet his wage demands and like you say it would do his confidence a lot of good to get more games and goals this season.

I'd be surprised if there was no interest from a Premiership team.

I think his wages have been a major stumbling block with premier league teams, as well as asking price, after all Robbie didn't exactly shine with West Ham last season.

And there is the fact that he has stated he wants to remain in London.
The fact we now have so many strikers coming through Walters, Best,Long and Cox means his place as an automatic starter for us is no longer as so secure as it was a year ago.
This might prompt him to get the finger out and join a club where he has a good chance of getting regular strarts.

He actually said on Tuesday that he does not know were the story came from that he wants to remain in London. He said he's no problem moving out of London. What he said was that he will not consider any offer from Championship clubs.

Well if he said that , thats good news.
But i'd worry because his wife is one of these so called wags and it would be better for her career to remain in London doing whatever she does!!

He's the one though who earns the big bucks so I'm sure she'll follow the money to wherever it may lead Robbie.

i can picture robbies press conference now,

'I've always been a massive leicester city fan'

'when i was a boy growing up in dublin, after inter milan, spurs, liverpool and celtic it was always my dream to wear the blue of leicester city'

I think Robbie gets a bit of undue stick about that. I can understand why the English/Scottish give him a hard time over it but it isn't usual in Ireland for someone to claim to support an English team and a Scottish team, often with a local side thrown in there for good measure too!

true. I'm guilty of that myself but was robbie a fan of every club in england growing up?

didn't he say last year he always followed west ham because of their history?

he shoots himself in the foot

I thought he only ever really said it about Celtic and Liverpool but I might be wrong. And given the vast amount of money he's made from moving to all his 'boyhood' clubs I'll not waste too much smypathy on him either!

didn't he say last year he always followed west ham because of their history?

No he didn't Rover, you just made that up yourself

The only sides Robbie Keane has ever been quoted as saying he followed was Liverpool and Celtic.

I really can't understand why he gets so much flak about this. Most Irish people will follow an English side (Man U, Liverpool, Leeds or Arsenal usually ) and also a Scottish side (99% of Football fans from the Republic will follow Celtic as their favourite Scottish side)

"I have always wanted to come and play in MLS so it's the perfect combination for me and a dream come true"

Remind me never to defend Robbie again! I hope, knowing that people love to take the mick about him signing for new clubs, he only said that for the craic!

I was thinking the same myself Pogued. Fair play to Robbie he doesn't give a stuff what the begrudgers think.
