One of the more bizarre rumours I have seen for a while appears in the The People, that Robbie Keane, yes he of the embarressing head over heels flip, is wanted by Chris Hughton on a short term loan.

Keane who now plays in the MLS for Los Angeles Galaxy had a short term loan last season with Aston Villa during the MLS close season, scoring 3 in 7 appeearences. Apparently Paul Lambert was coy when asked about a possible return to Villa Park for Keane.

To be honest, I cannot see much value in taking Keane on such a short term loan, a return of 3 in 7 games isn't enough to warrant the outlay.  I am sure that this little gem is in the national media, because whoever Lambert goes for they seem to think we will be following suit.
