Liverpool 2008-2009

Good signing for Liverpool, not only does it bolster their attacking options, it also damages Spurs and negates the need for Barry.

Now it just needs Beneathus to resist the temptation to tinker with Keane.
 
Posting this out of interest in the views of Liverpool supporters; if Keane has 3 seasons left as (at the minimum) an effective top4/CL group stage player, he's going to depreciate at the rate of around £600,000 a month.

Putting aside his wages, is that a deal from a Liverpool pov ?
He's only 28 and he doesn't lead the line, I don't see why we can't get 5 years at least out of him.

He is a club captain and has got at least league 10 goals in his past five seasons plus assists so he has got form.

His only attribute is pace. He's 28. Doesn't seem to make sense, he can only slow down from here.

Why do u need another club captain btw? I can't see Keane dislodging Gerrard somehow.
 
BTW, United fans are pissing themselves at Rafa's latest barmy purchase :D I bet Fergie is too. Barry would've been a much more sage buy.

Anyway, the prem is down to 3 now that you've fucked that one up. Another season of people bleating about how boring the prem is, the top 3 cant be blamed for idiocy on this scale though on behalf of the only other real challenger.

No doubt the above quote will come back to haunt you.

disagree as a utd fan, reckon he will be a good signing....not enough to threaten the big boys tho;)

He's a leader which is good to have around. He also has a lot more than pace, he sets loads of goals up and is a great finisher.

Torres with Keane, Babel and Gerrard behind him is a nice combination.

It makes sense to me. Keane can go straight into the first team, no bother. We have a lot of youth team players who can play a part in the forthcoming season and of course experience as well.

When Keane is in his 30s, Pacheko and Nemeth will be ready to step up imo.
 
LOlz at liverpool buying another B+ grade player, whilst Man United chased Berbatov to go alongside Tevez and Rooney, Liverpool save on pennies meaning they'll lose out on pounds in the end.

From what I can gather from Spurs fans they rate Keane a lot more than Berbatov who is, apparently, a lazy twat. When are you buying him anyway?

yes, but United fans are renowned for being thick fucks who understand jackshit about the game. Just read any of revols posts for confirmation :)
 
Keane is a fan favourite at Spurs because he plays his heart out for them, he's a good player but he isn't as talented as Berbatov. Berbatov at Manchester United would be surrounded by world class players and if that didn't motivate him then there's the fact his place wouldn't be guaranteed. At the moment it looks like there is no movement on any possible transfer but that doesn't change the fact that Man Utd aim to add someone like Berbatov whilst Liverpool settle for the sligthly cheaper less luxury item once again.
 
I hink Rafa is genuinly looking for a second striker to play alongside Torres.

One of the main things Liverpool were missing last year was someone to play behind Torres who was comfortable with the role and who wouldn't have been better deployed somewhere else. Keane is as close to to an old school second striker as you will find in the modern game. Benitez would have to be fucking insane to play him out of position, when his natural position is exactly the role he needs someone for.

Then again with Benitez's track record on this issue, your lot will be lucky if Keane isn't played as a goalkeeper.
 
Just been thinking about formations again. If Barry comes and Alsonso stays (and re-finds his form) what do you reckon on this for a 4-4-2?

Reina

Carragher
Agger
Skirtle
Dossenna

Gerrard
Mascherano
Alsonso
Barry

Keane
Torres

Solid as fuck midfield.

and such width.... :D

See you're too young to think you have to have wingers in a team these days. That said, Gerrard is a decent right winger if required and Barry has played wide left and probably will at times if he goes to Liverpool.

not necessarily wingers (though i'm a fan of them) but players with natural width, none of those midfielders are naturally wide players, they tend toward the centre and to be honest are far too similar.

Half agree and half don't. We'll see what happens in 2 weeks time. Hopefully Alsonso wont be at Arsenal by then.

Barry has spent most of the last three years on the left of midfield for Villa and is a natural left-footer.

Not that I'm going to give you bastards advice on how to use him. :mad:

He is not a winger though and doesn't naturally drift wide, he at best sits in the left central midfield position not out and out wide.

Strange though because wasn't the Spanish Waitor qouted as lamenting the lack of wingers last season?
