God if this happens i would be sooooo fuckin happy. I really doubt it but shit this would be fuckin GREAT!
Tottenham skipper Robbie Keane is a shock transfer target for Scottish giants Celtic - with a multi-million deal planned for the next window.
Tony Mowbray's club are planning the sensational raid for Republic of Ireland hero Keane and hope to pull off one of the moves of the season in the New Year.
Keane only went back to White Hart Lane from Liverpool at the beginning of 2009 but he could be on his travels again if the Parkhead club can pull off this massive coup.
Celtic have already started the ball rolling and would buy Keane and pick up his wages in one of the biggest coups of their illustrious history - a move that works on many levels.
Keane is 29 and would cost around £7 million if Celtic bought him - so Spurs would look for that kind of cash in a straight deal or as part of an exchange.
The Irishman is in the Spurs starting line-up just now but may be available down the line as Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch look like being their first-choice pairing.
Keane has been squeezed out of the central positions in the last couple of games and that does not suit him. The arrival of Nico Kranjcar and the eventual return of Luka Modric would see him under pressure to play at all.
Spurs took Keane back from Liverpool where he was unhappy at the lack of action and now history could repeat itself at White Hart Lane - with Celtic hoping it does.
The major snag for Celtic will be paying Keane's wages, but their wealthy Irish backers would dig deep for such a popular capture and a player who would help them domestically and in Europe.
Celtic supremo Dermot Desmond found the funds for namesake Roy Keane and would be willing to fork out to land Keane in one of the largest signings in recent times for the famous outfit.
Mowbray also thinks Keane would light up his team with the kind of lively and thoughtful attacking he likes to play - it could be a master stroke to see off Rangers in the SPL title race.
Celtic's interest in Keane could see Spurs revive a bid for their Scotland midfielder Scott Brown, who is a confirmed Harry Redknapp favourite.
Brown was valued at £12 million in the last window, a price tag that put off Redknapp and his money men because they would not meet the valuation.
