I was absolutely disgusted to read in this morning’s News of The World that Liverpool are in the hunt to sign Robbie Keane.

There is no way on this earth we should let our talisman leave the club this summer, or indeed any summer while he is in the form he has consistently showed over the last four seasons.

And Rafa Benitez hasn’t got a hope in hell in luring Robbie to Anfield. His attempts to try are simply laughable.

These reports come just three weeks after Keane peldged his future to the club insisting he would stay at White Hart Lane as long as his services were required.

And after topping the scoring charts last season, winning the Player of the Year award and collecting his first piece of silverware with the club, I think it is safe to assume his position at the head of our attack, is secure.

I doubt the thought of cashing in on the Irishmen has ever crossed Juande Ramos’ mind either.

Keane has now scored over 100 goals for the club and struck a firm affinity with the fans. He loves Spurs and Spurs love him. His deaparture could be no further from either parties’ minds.

This story can only be described as a product of Benitez’s wildest dreams. But, I suppose nothing should surprise us. At least now all our first team strikers have been linked with moves away from the club this summer.

And, it is exactly this kind of dross which should serve as a warning to ever believe the transfer gossip we read in the close season.

What makes the rumoured deal even more insulting is that one of Peter Crouch or Yossi Benayoun would be used as makeweight.

I am not having a pop at either of these players. In fact, I rate them both very highly. But this does not mean they could ever replace our crown jewels: Robbie Keane.

I can understand why Rafa woudl want to bring Robbie to Liverpool ahead of the new campaign. He is a fine Premiership striker with all the ingrededeints to play Champions League football.

But he is at the heart of everything we are trying to build here at Tottenham. He is our orchestrator.

He simply, is not for sale!
