THank You

NOTE - Im not trying to trigger a fight here, so post politely or don't post at all..

Answer 1

he needs a bit more time and he also needs for rafa to fecking play him in his favourite position! he has playing in the center for his whole career and will not change his preference just cos rafa says he needs a winger and is too stubborn to play babel out there!everytime he laid the ball off to another player on sunday he went straight into the center to look for it back!when rafa did eventually put him in there he was able to affect the game a SMALL bit more!..just give him time and he will come good....i hope!

Answer 2

Keane wont flop...i reckon he'll bag 10-15 goals a season, not worth 20 million tho, that's a joke.

Answer 3

Here's my theory:

Liverpool never intended to buy Keane but when they realise that Man Utd is after Berbatov, they made their move HOPING that Spurs will not sell Berba if they sell Keane. Surely what club in its right mind will sell its first choice strikers at the same time?!

Liverpool's intention is to prevent any United deal with Spurs that will strengthen them. But it was a big gamble and it did not pay off.

United is a lot stronger now. Exactly where will Liverpool be? We will find out on the 13th.

Answer 4

Apparently he always starts slowly at a new club.

Answer 5

C.  He started slowly for Tottenham and then went on to score loads that season.  I think he will come good soon lol

Answer 6

I always thought he was a decent player at Spurs and you dont become a bad player overnight so why is he so poor at Liverpool so far ? it has got to be down to the manager and his strange tactics has`nt it ?

Answer 7

Wrong choice of striker. Actually Kuyt and Torres would be very good already.

Answer 8

true enough, Keane is not playing at his own natural place, just like Kuyt who is a natural striker now becomes a right winger, just don't know what's going on with Rafa, he's the same fat stubborn guy like the former Gerard Houllier, same playing kind of defensive style and tactics, not like Arsenal, Chelsea and Man u who always attacking football all the way, all the reds fans can forget about this year's league title.
