........Hilarious!

The only time he'll watch Gerrard lift the trophy is when he watches the CCTV footage of Gerrard breaking into Old Trafford!

This is an interesting one. As far as I know.....(I may be wrong), Keane would be entitled to a medal were Liverpool to win the league. Would he be allowed play in the last game for Spurs? I mean he could score an o.g to secure himself a winners medal (theoretically).

**NeilMcD** · 02/02/2009, 4:14 PM

yeah if liverpool win the league he would be get one and he would be allowed to play as he would be a spurs player and nobody other than Harry Redknapp could stop him from playing.

dont think a league medal would mean much to him after the way he was treated

i heard over the weekend that defoe will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. officially spurs were saying about 4 to 6 weeks but apparently the truth is longer than that

It will be interesting to hear Keane's version of events. Imagine Torres gets injured (which is highly likely) and Liverpool could be starting with Kuyt and Vorinin upfront. (vorinin back after loan spell).

**Paddy Garcia** · 02/02/2009, 4:39 PM

Deal is done to Tottenham

Agree. Ideally I would love to see him score a hat-trick that sees Spurs win 3-2 and deny Liverpool the title!

That's what I thought. Just a very unusual situation in that he could find himself needing to lose to win the title!

I don't think my heart could take da Pool being in contention come May. At the end of the United Treble winning season I had a bet (£100/€127) with my buddy that da Pool wouldn't win the Lge in the next ten yrs!! that was 98/99 so this is the last yr of the bet. Long time to wait for a hundred quid.

**NeilMcD** · 02/02/2009, 5:07 PM

It has gone down in that time too. Did you take inflation into account. Bad deal for you as 100 pound or 127 euro after 2 years if Liverpool would have won the league would be worth more than when you collect the bet.

I'm certain I heard on Sky last week that he was coming back early.

So what is he meant to do stay at a club which does not want him and do not even include him in the squad or go back to a club where he knows he will be wanted and more importantly he will get his game. Its a good move for Ireland in my view.

Not in the slightest is it an over reaction. Yeah, benitez fvcked him over. But Keane met him half way with some of his performances. I'm disapointed as a fan of Robbie Keane they didn't get to see anything like the best of him at Anfeild. He's flopped at a big club. There was a post on the thread here that said sarcastically "maybe he's just not up to it". D'ye know what? The postor got stick but he's right. Keane wasn't up to being at a big club. Mentally as much as anything else, he's not up for it.

It's a measure of the man that he didn't stick it out til Summer. All this talk about Benitez being manager and not wanting him there is relevant and clearly a factor in him getting out. More often than not i'd agree with most of you. However Keane was in an unusually strong position to push back given the lack of squad depth at Anfield. As much as Benitez may say he didn't sign him or want him at the club, he wasn't in a position to ignore him for the rest of the season given the lack of depth in the squad.

Micheal Owen left Madrid with his credibility in tact. David Beckham got treated even worse by Cappello at Madrid.

I'm sick... Gutted... I take no pleasure being proven right cos I said when the move was mooted that he should stay at Spurs cos he found his level. I read today on something else that it's a damning indictment for any sportsman to be labeled as unlucky. That's just it. He's leaving now while the media is rife with political pawn stories, somewhat masking the fact he underperformed badly by his own standard. He took the easy way out How anyone can commend him is beyond me. What transpired I think is baggage he'll carry with him for the rest of his career.
