Robbie’s keen but Dan’s the man

AFTER struggling for regular football, he was signed on loan in January with the view to bringing life to the second half of his new club’s campaign and has gone on to do just that.

And how West Ham could have done with the influence of Daniel Sturridge rather than the ponderous Robbie Keane as they are left to wonder how they might get out of trouble.

Keane, 31 in July, looked bright enough in scoring on his debut after joining from Tottenham but even that was dogged by his vague comments about his Republic of Ireland future, while an ankle injury has limited his impact since.
