Because Robbie Keane scored a total of 23 goals for Tottenham in the just-concluded 03-04 season (including 16 league goals), the efficiency is quite impressive, so after George released the news that Robbie Keane was put on the shelf, many teams suddenly heard the wind and contacted Tottenham Hotspur and made a transfer offer to Robbie Keane!

Of all the clubs chasing Robbie Keane, Liverpool and Newcastle United, the two teams that have qualified for next season's UEFA Cup, have been the most active and sincere. The Reds www.biquge.info because of the delay in the contract extension of their star Michael Irving, and the frequent injuries that have plagued the boys over the years, making it difficult to ensure adequate attendance. So, for both purposes, Liverpool naturally set their sights on Robbie Keane, seeing the Irish national team captain as the best replacement for Owen!

In order to beat other rivals, Liverpool, whose club's current financial situation is in dire straits, gritted its teeth and made a $15 million offer for Robbie Keane due to Houllier's aggressive spending in the transfer market over the years. And George's answer was pretty neat -- $15 million, not at all! If it were a pound sterling, it would be about the same!

You know, when Tottenham bought Robbie Keane from Leeds United, it cost a full 7 million pounds (about $10 million) of real money, which was because of the fire sale price given by Leeds United's financial crisis at that time. The season before that, when Leeds United signed the Irishman from Inter Milan, the transfer fee was as high as 12 million pounds (about 17 million US dollars)!

Robbie Keane has not been as impressive as Drogba or Luca Toney this season, and has been repeatedly dropped off the bench by George in Tottenham's rivalry with strong teams, but being able to score 16 league goals in a season in a limited playing time as a striker who relies on movement and awareness is a testament to the Irishman's quality. Therefore, Liverpool's initial offer of $15 million is undoubtedly a big joke in George's eyes!

Don't look at Robbie Keane is only 25 years old now, in fact, he won the attention of the outside world with his outstanding performances in Coventry City as early as the 1999-00 season, and then joined Inter Milan to cause shocks throughout European football, and also broke the World Cup Player of the Year winner in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan two years ago. Therefore, George has set a psychological price of at least $20 million for the Irish international, otherwise everything is not discussed!

After receiving the news that the initial offer had been rejected by Tottenham, Liverpool became a little hesitant to continue the price increase. After all, Houllier, who has been in charge of the team for the past six years, has already confirmed that he will leave at the end of the season, and Benitez, whom Liverpool FC is actively contacting, is not yet in place, and the team is not financially rich. Therefore, if Liverpool spends a lot of money to sign Robbie Keane, but Benitez does not need it, Liverpool simply cannot afford this loss.

Compared with the calculating Liverpool, Newcastle is much more generous in this transfer. After all, Alan Shearer is now a dying old man, and the likes of Bellamy, Ameobi and Lua-Lua up front also have all kinds of shortcomings and shortcomings, and it is difficult to carry the banner of Magpies attacking football. And, while Shearer has scored 22 league goals this season, eight of those penalties have been taken. In other words, in terms of goal efficiency alone, Shearer is no longer at the level of a first-class striker in the Premier League.

And Shepard, who has been tirelessly attacking Robson Sr., seems to have forgotten all the words he said before this time, and directly made an offer of $18 million for Robbie Keane. And after receiving a reply from Tottenham that "it is very sincere, but it has not yet met our psychological price", Shepard did not even think about it and directly exchanged the currency unit of this offer for pounds!

Paying £18 million ($25 million) for a pure goalscorer like Robbie Keane is undoubtedly a rather high price tag in an increasingly depressed European transfer market. Not to mention, Shepard's offer has gone far beyond George's psychological price. As a result, George sent someone to inform Liverpool of the transfer progress of Newcastle, and readily agreed to the offer.

Seeing Shepard actively operating Robbie Keane's transfer, he did not forget to pour dirty water on himself, saying that the deal was the result of his own blackmail from the club, and secretly encouraging the players to separate from him. Rao is as gentle as the old Robson can't stand this kind of treatment at this time, the old coach was angry, and immediately threw the resignation letter on Shepard's face, announcing his resignation as Newcastle coach!

On the other hand, after learning that Newcastle had started contact with Robbie Keane himself, Liverpool, who had planned to observe the situation, couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly held a high-level meeting to discuss the matter, and got in touch with Benitez, who was leading the team to prepare for the League Cup final. In the end, after receiving an affirmative answer from Benitez and confirming that Owen has no intention of renewing his contract with the team, the Liverpool hierarchy also announced that they have officially joined the battle for Robbie Keane!

At the same time, after learning of Robson's resignation from the Magpies, George immediately dialed Robson Sr.'s phone number, got in touch with the mentor, and invited him to Tottenham to take the position of youth director - he clearly remembers that the old Robson never accepted any team's coaching offer after resigning from this managerial position, and stayed at home until the summer of '09 when he died suddenly due to ineffective cancer treatment.

In George's view, Robson Sr.'s condition suddenly worsened after 04 years, on the one hand, because of the greatly reduced recovery ability of old age, and on the other hand, because of idleness. Therefore, if the old Robson can be successfully invited to Tottenham to be in charge of youth training, maybe he can change the fate of this old man!

"I hope that this time I can change the fate of the old man, so that he can stay in this world for a little longer. At least, there can be no regrets, as between Sheva and Lobanovsky. After hanging up the phone, George's face couldn't help but become a little gloomy at the thought that the other party might not have much time in this world. For the elder Robson, the mentor who single-handedly brought him into the circle of professional coaching, he sincerely hopes that the other party can live a long life. (Note: Shevchenko was the last proud disciple Lobanovsky trained.) However, by the time Sheva had made a name for himself and won the Big Ears Cup and the European Ballon d'Or, Lobanovsky had already died. Sheva could only take the trophy to Lobanovsky's grave to pay tribute to his teacher, which became an eternal regret in the heart of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead. ）

The 2003-04 UEFA Champions League final was finalised at the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkirchen just as the transfer of Klose was finalised by George and Robbie Keane leaving Tottenham this summer, as well as several other signings of great significance to the club.
