He could make or break rafa! My reasoning.....with all of Rafa's signings, he has sold them for more than he paid for them...great business sense, but he will never get £20m for Keane again..so its a bit of a gamble.
I do feel tho that himself and torres have the potential to strike up a terrifying partnership
Here's to the new season

he's going to be a great signing as i think he'll help Torres even more and that can only mean more goals for Torres.
I think so too...but you never know
:rolleyes:
See These Bones
I can't say I've ever watched Robbie Keane and been 'wowed' by him, he was a very promising youngster who turned into a decent hard working, journeyman professional, £20M is a lotta dosh for that...and at 28 years old.
I'm not sure he has the class that Liverpool need to turn them into realistic contenders, but as we say, time will tell.
sure, he had a journey-man start to his career, and was very wasteful of chances, but the past 3/4 years he's been one of the most consistent premier league players.
2007 - 31 goals
2008 - 23 goals
I think he's the perfect partner for Torres. Berbatov was a good foil, but Torres is an outright goal scorer, Keane will thrive alongside him. Disappointed for Spurs, but delighted for Keane to get a shot at proving himself in Champions League again, especially after not making it at Inter.
I think you made a mistake....you left ronaldo in there
Robbie Keane has always got his goals against lesser teams, he rarely does it against the bigger teams, a good move for him, not for Pool.
I hope im wrong, i like Robbie, he's a likeable fella, Ferguson was right when he decided not to buy him all them yrs ago.
Anyway - the chap runs like a fuckin duck.
This coming from a Spurs fan.
Edit - just to add, he may be Ireland's all time top scorer, but Aldridge & Stapelton were BY FAR the better strikers
He cut in in Spain too, dont forget.
Here's is his career stats
"In a club and country career spanning 882 appearances and 474 goals, he overtook Jimmy Greaves' as British Football's record goalscorer and was honoured with a benefit match against the Liverpool side of 1987-88."
How's he gonna fit Barry, Mascherano, Gerrard, Keane and Torres in the same team?
Got a feeling Keane will play on the right, similar role to that played by Kuyt last season. Babel on the left with Gerrard behind Torres and Barry & Mascherano holding in midfield.

He could play Gerrard on the right, not ideal but he puits him there a lot.
And Babel is good but not good enough to cement a starting place going on his form last year. Anyway he picks different team every week, so it'll probably work out that he continues rotating
Id say Voronin could be a good foil for Keane, he's a very similar player to Berbatov (although obviously not as good)
Real Madrid just got an absolute bargain. Rafael Van der Vaart for £7.1m !!

How could Hamburg not get more for him? He's great! Good business for Real.
Bentley cost £15m and Vaart only £7m? funny old world!
I agree about the wing thing. Our midfield is as good as any yet our wing play is so poor. Give me silva over barry anyday....but barry is versatile and we all know rafa loves players like that :rolleyes:
He's exactly what I said in my post last August....he's an okay player, he's a lot of piss and wind, as they say.
