Wolves, Coventry City, Internazionale, Leeds Utd., Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Celtic, West Ham. The name Robbie Keane is now synonymous with ‘Journeyman’.
News has just broken that the Dubliner, who has scored a prolific 45 goals in 104 games for the Republic of Ireland, has joined West Ham on loan for the rest of the season. The Hammers are hoping that Keane, alongside new signings Wayne Bridge, Gary O’Neil and Demba Ba, will help stave off a potentially ruinous relegation from the Premier League.
From a prodigiously talented 17 year old debutant for Wolves to a potential Boleyn Ground saviour, the 30 year old has been subject to a cumulative total circa £75m in transfer fees.
So can Avram Grant and theWest Ham faithful expect the kind of form form Rafa Benitez placed £24m worth of faith in and will Keane be the talisman that he has for so long promised but not quite delivered?
