Birmingham to sign Robbie Keane for £6m

Tottenham accept £6m Birmingham bid for Robbie Keane


Keane re-joined Spurs in 2009, six months after leaving for Liverpool

Birmingham have had a £6m bid for Robbie Keane accepted by Tottenham, according to the Press Association.
The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland striker has been given permission to hold talks with City, although he is yet to discuss personal terms.
City have agreed to pay Spurs an initial £4m with an extra £2m coming via various add-ons in the deal.

Keane has found his chances limited at White Hart Lane this season, making 11 of his 13 appearances as a substitute.
Blues boss Alex McLeish has prioritised bolstering his forward line in the January transfer window with his current set of attackers struggling to find the net.

Only Wigan have scored fewer than Birmingham's 20 Premier League goals this term.
Midfielder Craig Gardner is the club's top-scorer with five goals while strikers Nikola Zigic, Kevin Phillips and Cameron Jerome have contributed a meagre eight goals between them.

Keane, who re-signed for Tottenham in February 2009, just six months after leaving the north London club for Liverpool, spent the second half of last season on loan at Celtic.
West Ham have also been interested in signing Keane.

£6m

[dom9]

That's no way to treat an international.

[Buzzo]

How much money has he moved for now in total...

£1bn?

[Bender]

£6m

lets face it we were stupid enough to gub £20million on him

[little dave hedgehog]

i've seen people saying we should've snapped him up. does nobody remember how many sitters he missed for us? maybe he didn't get as much playing time as he would've liked, but he sure wasn't doing much to suggest he deserved it.

[danperkins]

Keane has deteriorated dramatically in recent years, if he can get back to some form instead of counting all his money it'll be a good signing for Birmingham.

[Johnny H]

how badly was rafa lashed in the media for the perceived 8m loss on keane? ****ing Arry wont even get queried. *******s.

[Shaggy]

It's laughable.

Also the fact that good old Arry left him on the bench all the time, not a peep. Played him wide left on occasion, not a peep.

[Buzzo]

Robbie Keane total transfer fees... £79m

Coventry to Wolves £6m
Wolves to Inter £13m
Inter to Leeds £12m
Leeds to Spurs £7m
Spurs to Liverpool £19m
Liverpool to Spurs £16m
Spurs to Brum £6m

Throw in a loan move to Celtic and that is a lot of money for the fairly average boyhood Liverpool/Spurs/Celtic/Wolves supporting centre forward.

Yep, I am that bored I bothered to work all that out.
