Aldo: Robbie shouldn’t fear the drop

IRELAND and Liverpool legend John Aldridge believes Robbie Keane must leave Spurs – and says the striker shouldn’t be afraid of dropping down a division to get regular football.

With Ireland’s friendly game against Norway just a week away, Keane is currently nursing an ankle injured in training but Aldo believes he has what it takes to win the even bigger battle his career now faces.

“Robbie’s a fighter,” says Aldridge, who was one of the stars of the Charlton era for Ireland. “He has that fire in his belly. You can see what it still means to him when he scores a goal.
