Twitchy 0 Posted November 16, 2012 Robbie Return to England? Robbie Keane could be on his way back to the Premier League – that’s if Norwich City boss Chris Hughton has his way. The Irish Daily Star reports this morning that Norwich will attempt to bring the Ireland captain to Carrow Road during the MLS close season. Keane spent a spell at Aston Villa earlier this year, he’s hoping to help LA Galaxy to the MLS Western Conference title this weekend – they take a 3-0 lead into the return leg of the final. Robbie worked with Hughton during his time with Tottenham. It’s claimed elsewhere that another Ireland player could be leaving Norwich. Wes Hoolahan wants a move away according to the Irish Sun. The Dub isn’t happy that Norwich haven’t offered him a new contract despite being a regular first team starter. The 30 year old’s current deal expires in 18 months.Some people over here reckon this story has some legs unlike Robbie himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted November 16, 2012 I''m much more concerned over the Wes part of the article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,359 Posted November 16, 2012 Would be amazing, just can''t see it happening!As for Wes, he''s getting on in age so I''m guessing there might be conflicts over how many years his next contract would be. He still has 18 months, that''s over a year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Officer Tillys small Willies (Nigel,lappy) 0 Posted November 16, 2012 It wouldn''t bother mew to much Robbie coming here at least he knows where the net is and i''m sure he could of buried a few of the spurned chances this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 291 Posted November 17, 2012 Keane made his debut against us-who remembers? 17 years old, two goals for Wolves on an opening day. Would love him here, he might not have the legs but he''s got the know who and would get a few goals. Concerned re.Wes, guess that 3 years and increase for Holty whose a similar age has set some precedents! Guess also that with Snodgrass and Butterfield able to play in his role we may yet see Wes drift away come January? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 29 Posted November 17, 2012 I''ll take both of the players in that picture please. As for Wes, get it sorted. Can''t he talk to other teams in 6mths or am I way off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,423 Posted November 17, 2012 Has it really got to the stage where players get frustrated about their contracts and pay with 18 months left to run? FFS, most normal people don''t know if they''ll still have jobs after that time, let alone be earning £20k+ a week. They think the world owes them a living!(Not aimed specifically at Wes, more footballers in general). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I rememeber there was talk that this kid would make his debut, and being worried in that "he''s bound to score against us" way of all fans. The first goal was nothing special, but the second was a kind of slaloming weave-in from the right-hand side. The sort of goal you think should have been stopped without it being clear who actually was to blame. So it would be a kind of symmetry for his to start and finish his English career at Carrow Road. But no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted November 17, 2012 We must be the only club that Robbie Keane hasn''t played for, and I''d quite like to keep it that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
