For the £20 mil spent on Keane I would of preferred either Arshavin, Hunterlaar, Eto'o, Diego.

Isn't it ironic so many of us were before saying lets stop throwing money at overseas players and instead get someone homegrown who is proven. As soon as we do he flops.

[GYBS]

he hasnt flopped yet - its only november.

[tubby]

Ok flop was maybe harsh but you get where I am going with this.

[flamingpoe]

ahhhhhh so true , it takes the p**s that we got keane for £20mil and alot more clubs would of spent 20mil on alot better, im sure that we could of got 2 half decent strikers for that, which keane is lol!!
we should of bought 2 chances for 20mil instead we get keane, who is a good player and i do rate him but he needs to be upfront with some1 else not on his own like last night, as they said last night on the commentary keane "isn't quick enough" and needs a player to work with him, that by nature is like torres, they need more time together and i dont think this is gonna be a quick solvance
we need another decent striker but i dont think thats gonna happen soon, i hope we get a rightwinger

[GYBS]

yeah i get where you are going .bav .

i would make Right Wing  a priority but I aint the boss so we'll see what rafa pulls out of the hat in January.

geez you ppl are as fickle as economy. I am disappointed with how Keane has started his liverpool career... but I'm not too worried about him. First of all he's got talent... he's got more talent than Kuyt. And now you guys aren't even complaining about Kuyt anymore. Second of all he's got great character. He works hard and has the right attitude. He's not a world class striker like Torres or Villa, but he's a very good striker with great character... HE WON'T BECOME A FLOP I GUARANTEE YOU THAT!

Keane need score, only a confidence problem i think.

[tubby]

Yeah I hope so.

[Dundalk]

I think Keane will come good, if Rafa decides to go 2 upfront when Nando comes back then I think they will flourish as a partnership. It will take time.

Rafa needs to give him a full 90mins. When it comes to the 65 min mark he must be looking over at the bench waiting on the board to go up. That cant be to good for hid confidence either

I really do hope you are right - just two words - INTER MILAN !! I know that the departure of Lippi caused problems for Keane but the bottom line was that he simply was not good enough. Ok it is early days but I am fed up with these so-called strikers taking an unacceptable period to start scoring. Crouchy took 19 matches in the prm. How long is Robbie going to take. His work rate is fine but really what are we getting for £20m at the moment in comparison to Nando who did not cost a lot more.

I like Robbie and I really do hope he finds his scoring boots because we need them. We have not won one game in a truly convincing manner this  season. We need to start destroying teams rather than winning by the odd goal.

Inter Milan?

That's an absolutely pathetic argument to throw up and is completely irrelevant here.

Keane was very young when he went to Inter and they already had half a dozen established International strikers at the club, Keane never got the chance to prove himself there.  Why you have brought that up only you will know mate.

its funny that the 'does torres need a strike partner?' thread kept discussing keane before we signed him. many other people were certain that torres didn't really need one anyway. the fact is though that its robbie keane who actually needs a good strike partner. hopefully when torres is back there will be some continuation of the signs that a partnership was beginning to develop between them.

[Woollyback]

i like him, he's very keen
