Robbie Keane joins LA Galaxy!
A strange move for Robbie to make, in terms of furthering his career and proving himself to clubs in the Premier League he has taken what i see as the easy ride in the MLS with LA Galaxy. No doubt Galaxy have got a really top striker in Robbie and I'm sure he will get a number of goals there. I think he could still have done it in a top division in England though, which disappoints me really surely it can only be for the money and lifestyle of America which has pulled him there. Wish him luck but would rather see him still banging in goals on MOTD!Tottenham striker Robbie Keane has joined Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy for an undisclosed fee.Keane, 31, who had also been linked with Leicester City, said he was "honoured, delighted and very excited" to be joining the American side.Details of the transfer fee and length of contract have not been announced, but it is reported to be a £3.5m deal."I have always wanted to come and play in MLS so it's the perfect combination for me and a dream come true," he said."My family and I have already been made to feel very welcome in telephone calls from (president of Galaxy owners AEG) Tim Leiweke and (head coach)Bruce Arena."Also when David Beckham came and trained at Spurs recently he couldn't speak highly enough about the Galaxy, their fans and the league in general, so I can't wait to get over and get started.
