Someone that scored 13 goals for an average team and who would give all for the club he supports or a journey man who is well past his best and is just looking for a final pay packet? Seems to be an easy choice to be honest  DJ Campbell any day. |

A journey man lol.
Keano has played in over 100 internationls, 300+ prem games,world cup,champions and europa league. highest international goalscorer in the british isles.
or we could have dj who is 3 years younger 1 season in prem with 13 goals and supports qpr. never let your heart rule your head rory.

I'd like Keane or Crouch or Defoe (Amazing that they have three strikers any of whom would into a QPR side) surplus to their needs.
REALISTICALLY we're not probably going to be able to get any of them. So Campbell seems a gerat snip. If we can't get him, probably will do worse, not better.

Keane is well past his best, he wouldn't take any team he signs for seriously, just like he did at West Ham. If Keane is so good he wouldn't have missed an open goal from 2 yards and effectively sentenced West Spam to relegation.
DJ Campbell managed to score more goals that Drogba in the best league in the world and he had average players around him. Imagine what he could do with Bothroyd, Taarabt and Faurlin around him.

Would take Crouch over DJ but not Keane.
I know what he has done for Ireland and all in his career , and its probably not fair to slate him at West Ham as they were in a miss but he missed sitter after sitter for WHU.
If hes that great why has nobody come in for him all summer , wages possibly !
