Strange alright but its in Keane's interest to go to a team where he'll get regular games and where they actually try and pass the ball!!!

Why is there an extension due to weather conditions ?

Fax machines arent affected by snow !

AZOffaly · February 02, 2009, 04:23:17 PM

Travelling for medicals and the like?

If they are cutting it that fine, they should pay the cost of missing it.

AZOffaly · February 02, 2009, 04:25:08 PM

Does this leave 0 Irish at Liverpool now, at least around the first team? With Finnan gone, and Keane, I can't think of anybody else apart from a couple of very young lads. That's fairly unusual.

Is Spain the new Ireland?

They have to fax the fa by the cut off that they have agreed the deal in principle, and prove that the weather is affecting the finalizing of the deal.

Nice one centurian... like it. (For bonus point... line from which film?)

Give up you Liverpool slabbers?

I can only assume nobody answered as they thought you where joking, as it is ridiculously easy question.

Oh! anyway as I can't be bothered getting the Everton thread going at the moment me thinks the reds will wil come unstuck on Wednesday -shades of King

Kennys demise in 1990. Is it on UTV?

Surely if youre looking to sign someone on the final day, you have them present for their medical early. If not have a representative with the player at their address/club to sign relevant forms. In this day and age and with the amounts of money involved its crazy that a 5PM cant be met, whether the player is phyisically present or not

Aye the game is on utv - 8.10 ko

QuoteBenitez did not want Keane, the deal to bring Keane to Anfield was done by Rick Parry, Benitez had nothing to do with it. Benitez and Parry have had a fall out and Benitez used Keane as a way of getting back at Parry.

Is there any evidence of this or is it just pub talk?

Sad to see him go,especially after he didn't get a fair crack at it with Liverpool
I'm disgusted with the way he was treated at Anfield and Rafa has gone down a little in my estimation over it.

Was it that bad though? He started something like 16 league games. He averaged 78 minuts on the pitch. There were times that he needed more playing time, but, in the majority, he just didn;t take his chances.

Thanks-good stuff...

Keane was shocking in almost every game he played. Some where so bad to be comical - PNE in the cup?

AZOffaly · February 02, 2009, 04:41:32 PM

Keane hadn't played well, but in fairness what was he signed to be? An out an out front man rotating with Torres? In that case, it was a stupid buy. A link man to play off Torres with Gerrard a bit behind them in a 4 man midfield? A bit more sensible, but he never got a run with Torres, due to Torres' injury.

Either way, he was harshly done by in my opinion. He was either bought as a square block in a round hole, or else he never got to play in the role that suited him best.
