Robbie Keane For Anfield?
He´s got the pace of John Prescott wearing divers lead boots but that doesn´t seem to be any deterrent to Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez. And at 27 he isn´t going to be getting any faster, unless of course he knows any hooky professional cycling chemists.
Spurs are talking in terms of a swap deal for Peter Crouch plus cash.
I´ve always been an admirer of Robbie Keane but Benitez must have been on the methylated spirits if he thinks the Irishman will turn his club into Premiership contenders.
Andrei Arshavin or David Villa maybe, but not Keane. Anyone who knows anything about football will know that Keane´s valuation reached its ceiling when he joined Tottenham from Leeds for £7m in August 2002.
Then again Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish wasn´t the fastest. His old Anfield gaffer Bob Paisley always maintained that the first yard was in the head.
Talking of King Kenny. The other day I nipped out of my bird´s flat for a crafty smoke and noticed there was a fancy wedding crowd of "beautiful people" getting out of a coach just up the street. So I wandered up for a mooch. Most of them were heading into a little bar just across the church square for a drink before the service started.
Lo-and-behold, who was first into the bar? King Kenny.
I would have gone and introduced myself but he was surrounded by a fancy sunglass wearing, Armani suited crowd who were already looking down their noses at me from afar in my Primark t-shirt, ripped M&S shorts and flip flops.
As the ushers beckoned the 50 strong crowd into the church, who was last in? The player who shook the Kop. First to the ball, first to the bar, last into the church. What a legend.
