Rumour has it that Robbie Keane may be interested in a move to Celtic.

He got a phenomenal reception from the fans on Sunday (even when he scored against we) and is said to get on well with Strachan.

Shall we discuss such rumours during t'off season.

Aye, why not.

Keane said that he's a Celtic fan, as is his namesake, Roy, so a move appeals -- seems every Irishman is a Celtic fan, they should stick to teams in their own country (). Also Jol doesn't seem to fancy him much so it makes sense all round.

In the mighty Sun today they declared that RVN has declared that he wants to leave Old Trafford, the Sun have decided that he has to go to Madrid in a swap for Owen. Kieron Richardson has also given Sir Alex an ultimatum ... I find both of those rumours difficult to believe.

Re Keane (Robbie)

It may just be his way to announce himself as available to other teams, without actually saying he wants away. Tho' at his age some medals (even Scottish ones) may be appealing. That and the prospect of European puntsphere would make it a decent move for him.

He really did get a fabulous reception from t'Bhoys, which must also go for something.

Has Owen made any noises about returning to Engerland. I hadn't heard any such thing. However it is fair to say that anyone leaving Man U (by choice) would have to be headed to a very select list of teams.

Owen was quite vocal in the season about getting in the team else he'd be looking for other options. Not heard anything since it's finished, tho'. Apparently the Madrid fans are quite enamoured with him so it could well be that he'll give it another bash next season.

Keane going to Celtic does make sense given what you say, not sure if the wages would be a problem but I don't think he's on that much of an indecent salary at Spurs.

I was hoping Bellamy would stay too. From where I'm sitting he seems to have fitted in really well, not sure what the fans think of him but he's certainly looks to have enjoyed himself.

Yeah, fixed for 5 years and I heard it could be closer to £20million

Teh fook is £20-25million going to buy in five years time.

Re Bellamy

Fans loved him to bits and everyone I know would take him in a minute (ooer missus).

However it is received wisdom that he would be going. With his career back on track due to his performances. But it was nice to see him sing "walk on" after the final, along with the rest of the team and the fans. I think the final straw is that he and Strachan apparently don't get on.

It would also make sense him leaving and Keane coming in. It sort of fits together logically and seems right.

Nothing, probably 3 months wages at this rate

Indeed.

Sir A has spent that type of money on one player, on more than one occasion.

How are you fixed for youngsters coming thro'. We have a number of really good prospects at Paradise.
