Yeah, what makes anyone think that a bloke in his late thirties could contribute anything that could be the difference between a draw and a win?

Exactly. Keane is on zero wages at the moment. He must be minted by now. If what he really wants is one last huzzah playing football before his playing days come to an end, then presumably money won't be his main consideration.
Whether he's right for us now, I've no idea. Has anyone asked CH yet?

Well this would be ideal. I think we'd be better off keeping the big money striker for the summer when the market is better, someone will snap up an absolute gem in Robbie Keane. At this level, he would be scoring goals for the fun of it and with Murray to play off, Knockaert and Skalak on the wings... My word. He is the missing piece without spending a massive fee.

As a free agent, would he potentially be available before January, or does the window still apply?
As a free agent he can sign any time.

Problem when compared to some others is he'd be a free signing not a loan so we would pay all his wages. They are likely far higher than we would although a signing bonus could ease that if close.
It's the best BG type thread ever and most realistic (not utter gash player or crazy out of the realms of possibility) but I don't fancy our chances.

Great shout can't see it though.
Or not contribute at all for the critical last 3 months of the season.
Now running for cover.

This does tick a lot of boxes for both parties. He'd get game-time but have a worthy understudy in Baldock. He'd potentially have a promotion on his CV and no doubt be rewarded with a sizeable bonus if he plays in X amount of matches and we go up.
We'd get a quality striker with no transfer fee with bags of experience and character. Shane Duffy - do your thing!

I thought you had to be a free agent before the window closes. Hence the reason Dean Cox can't play for Crawley.

Cheers! I didn't know - that's why I asked.......but now I've got two conflicting answers, so I still don't know!
Best of three, anyone?

Yes. Hughton was a coach at Spurs whilst Robbie was also there. CH also tried to sign him whilst he was manager of Newcastle.
