Official: Keane Returns To Spurs.

[Torres of SA]

Robbie Keane has re-signed for Tottenham Hotspur from Liverpool for an undisclosed fee.

He has signed a contract of unknown length at White Hart Lane, just six months after having signed for Liverpool, the club he has supported since he was a boy.

The player himself told the official Spurs website, "It was a difficult decision to make to leave Tottenham in the summer. It proved not to be the right move for me.

"I know some Spurs fans will feel I let them down by leaving but I can assure them I shall be giving my all for this Club - this Club has terrific fans and I want to repay them for all their support. We've got to get on and fight our way up that league table."

The Irish international has struggled throughout his brief spell at Anfield, often not played in his preferred position and eventually found himself being left out of the team altogether. He was never able to hit the kind of form that saw him rise to such prominence at Spurs that he commanded an incredible £20 million fee from Liverpool in the summer.

The deal was controversial at the time and upset many Lilywhites fans in north London, but new manager Harry Redknapp, who has already brought back to the club this month fellow summer exilees Jermain Defoe and Pascal Chimbonda, has now capped his January dealings with the re-signing of the former club vice-captain.

Chairman Daniel Levy added, "We never wanted Robbie to leave in the summer, we acknowledged the six years dedicated service he gave this Club and reluctantly let him go.

"I am delighted that he has chosen to return to us. We can all recall the passion and fight he displayed during his previous seasons with us. I know he is determined to give us his full commitment."


^Taken from http://www.goal.com, checked http://www.Liverpoolfc.tv to make sure and it confirmed it. I personally thank Robbie for giving it a go at liverpool and wish him luck with Spurs..aslong as he does not score against us. Even though he did not do aswell as he could have he got us through a really poor time with out Torres and was key in some victories, not worth his 20 million pound price tag though.

Keane played in the Champions League...does that mean he is also cup tied for Uefa Cup?

[King Of East]

Great bit of business in the end for Spurs. I'm pretty sure he is fine to play in the Uefa Cup.
