    Even if we could sign robbie keane, would you rather we did, or that we signed 3 or 4 players to improve the current shambles of a side for the reported £12m valuation?

    personally i'd rather improve other areas of the team, as we don't have the quality round about keane for him to be a worthwhile signing IMO.

    if we want both we'll need to hope spurs are mental to take a swap for aiden or broonie tbh.

    Hmm.

    Keane's goals would always mean he is a valuable player, but if we improved other areas I would be confident someone like Rasmussen could get a similar amount with good service.

    So I'd maybe opt for strengthening other areas.

    Improving the overall squad is the most important, although can't see why we can't do both if we sell McGeady or Brown.

    true, which would end up not worth it as we'd be back to being skint with even less players.

    They'll want Aiden, Brown and probably a declaration that Keane can't play them if we cross paths.

    Do it!!!

    Boruc

    Hinkel McManus Thompson Caddis
    Maloney Crosas McCourt Ki
    Keane Rasmussen

    WIth a squad that includes O'Dea, Loovens, Naylor, Rogne, Hooiveld, McGinn, Wilson, Zaluska and maybe Kamara, and a few astute signings, that is a team and a squad that can bring glory back to Parkhead

    Oh Look we need a few astute signings and one of them would have to be a central midfielder. However, if by some miracle we are going to be able to keep Keaneo, we are going to have to give up something. McGeady I'd hate to sell...however, success isn;t a '2 year project', and we need a team ready to run in the champions league qualifiers...3 or 4 new signings will not solve this problem asap...we learnt this already and we have enough good players to win the league if the right combinations are used early enough

    It all depends on how much money the board are willing to spend which will probably not be a lot. Not to mention we still need a new manager.

    as much as i dislike aiden, i wouldn't be willing to offload more than him for keane.

    and i wouldn't fancy mccourt thompson ki or caddis playing in must win european games :nonono:

    Not a chance in * the board would come up with the fee nor the wages , add to the fact keane has seen how * poor this league is and will not want to stay here one sec longer ,

    And does Keane get a say in this.... ???

    He has states on many occasions he is going back down South.... Rightly, he doesnt want to play full time in Scotland, he came for a 5 month loan good for both him and Celtic.

    I think its time to move on lads, Keane is a quality Premiership player, no way does he want to play in the SPL.... !!!

    what sort of positions mate?

    i'd personally want a left back, centre back, centre midfielder and a striker.

    wouldn't keep landry, would sell aiden, then sign a new winger or two.

    Got you matey.... :50:

    We need both to be perfectly honest, strengthening throughout the spine of the side, and a top quality striker if any become available...

    A manager of stature would demand this from the board!
