I probably should have put in a proviso that I think there is a huge difference between making the jump.  But don't forget that two results last year defined Liverpools season, the losses to United.  The results against the other top 4 teams will decide the destiny again of the PL and if Liverpool can pick up one win against each of them, at home presumably, I think they will win the PL.  Easier said than done but not beyond the realms of possibility.

In what way?  How many wins did you pick up against Arsenal & Chelsea?

LIVERPOOL have agreed to sign Robbie Keane from Tottenham, with the Irish international striker ready to be unveiled at Anfield this week.

The clubs negotiated an £18m fee yesterday, while Keane, 28, has agreed to sign a five-year deal believed to be worth £80,000 a week.

Keane will travel to Anfield tomorrow for his medical, allowing Liverpool to unveil the player before the squad flies out to Spain for pre-season games on Tuesday.

Rafael Benitez, the Liverpool manager, was busy finalising the deal over the past two days and has secured the striker he believes has the "game intelligence" to best complement the talents of top-scorer Fernando Torres.

The deal had hit problems in the early stages after the Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy reported Liverpool to the Premier League for making their interest in Keane public. Neither Liverpool nor Tottenham were willing to make official comment on the deal last night.

For Keane it represents the opportunity to play for the club he supported as a boy and compete in the Champions League.

The move to Anfield is the fifth big transfer of his career, having previously played for Wolves, Coventry, Inter Milan and Leeds, and the Dubliner has now commanded fees totalling an astonishing £56m.

With Manchester United finalising their £35m British record signing of Carlos Tevez, the top clubs in the Premier League are finally making their much-anticipated moves in the transfer market, with a summer of record spending in prospect.

The sale of Keane frees up Spurs to pursue David Villa. The Spanish striker's agent, Jose Luis Tamargo, has invited the club to follow up their preliminary interest.

"David likes London and likes how Tottenham play with Juande Ramos," Tamargo said. "This is a club that excites him."

Valencia had claimed they were unwilling to sell Villa after his heroics for Spain at Euro 2008 but their stance softened last week and they will listen to offers of £25m for the player.

I thought Stuart Downing would have been a good option

keane is an excellent buy. 18m is alot of money and only time will tell if he's worth that much. But bottom line is that Keane In & Crouch Out represents a huge improvement to the squad.

Be very interesting to see how Robbie gets on at Liverpool. Never been his biggest fan, but I can see potential for him doing well.

I'm very glad United are spending £35m on Tevez rather than £25m on Villa. I'm not sure about Berbatov. The mood swings can impact on his performances, but if his head is right he'll be good. Though I think I'd buy Benezma before him. Picking up Henry and offloading Saha would be very good business in terms of the 4th striker position however.
