Repeat after me: Robbie Keane is not past it. Robbie Keane is not past it. Robbie Keane is not past it. Robbie Keane is not past it. Robbie Keane is not past it…
Keane is 28 (and only just), not 33. He was born in the 80s, for God’s sake. He’s in his prime, as he showed last season, when he was Tottenham’s best player. Want to know why Dimitar Berbatov settled into English football so quickly? Because he was playing alongside Keane, who is one of the most generous, intelligent forwards around. Rafa Benitez knows that, and I’m sure Juande Ramos will discover it to his cost in the coming season.
