Bye then robbie lad , i had high hopes for you mate , but sadly you were'nt up to the job . Your a bad sulker aswell mate . Anyway good luck back at spurs and no hard feelings . I'm sure coco is very proud of himself once again .

If no-one is coming in then I fail to see why they didnt just sell Keane in the summer.  Maybe they thought by then his value would of dropped dramatically.

Someone has to be coming in..

You may be able to blame Parry for how much we paid mate, but surely not for him coming

I hope Keane starts banging them in at Spurs AGAIN, Rafa was an idiot for not playing him.

the transfer deadline got extended , hopefully expect to see a striker signing or maybe pacheco is going to be stepped up to the first team .

The deadline has been extended but both parties have to be able to demonstrate that the deal has been agreed and that the weather is the reason the deal has not been able to take place. Does a player need to undergo a medical to complete a loan deal? I'm hoping and assuming not. As for Pachecho? Get a grip, you won't burst into flames if you criticise the manager once in a while ya know.

Was this only a few short months ago :-

Rafa Benitez believes Robbie Keane can be the perfect foil for 33-goal Fernando Torres next term.
The Anfield boss sees the pair as a lethal combination of guile and pace capable of firing the Reds to glory in 2008-09.

Speaking exclusively to Liverpoolfc.tv after the 28-year-old signed last night, Benitez said: "We were looking for a player with game intelligence and good movement who could play alongside Torres.

"He can play with Torres up front and also on the right.

"We knew he was a Liverpool fan since forever. We knew that he was a very good signing in terms of the commitment, the quality and the intelligence of the player.

"He is a player who can give to us a lot of goals – normally he gets about 15 each year. We were looking for the workrate he can give to us, the game intelligence and also the goals."

Keane scored an impressive 107 goals in 253 appearances for former club Tottenham – but the penalty box isn't the only place Benitez believes he'll have an impact.

The Reds manager thinks his new boy will have a positive effect on team morale.

"He has experience in the Premier League and also all the reports of his personality and professionalism are fantastic. He can be a good example for the young players," said Benitez.

"I feel like he has enough experience in the game and that he has a very good mentality. He is very hungry, so everything is positive."

After being unveiled to the press this morning, Keane could travel with his new teammates to Villarreal.

Whenever he does make his debut, it is likely to be in the number seven shirt.

Benitez added: "Yes, we were talking about the number, and the big names that have had this number, so it will be inspirational for him to have it too."

One of the first questions fans will be asking when Keane does finally make his bow is whether they'll see his famous cartwheel goal celebration.

The man himself says it would be rude not to bring it out once for the Kop, though Benitez has told supporters not to expect spectacular celebrations week in, week out.

He said: "We will talk. It is important to score and also to celebrate afterwards, but he has to be careful just in case!"

There has to be someone coming in otherwise this is the dumbest move in the history of the Premiership

Surely Rafa/Parry aren't aren't that fookin stupid?

I do think they can be when they try you know look at the season then tell me if they ain't that stupid ?

maybe the yanks told Rafa/Parry to cash in if spurs come knocking.

thought we were talking about keane and a replacement for keane or other striking options as opposed to using this as another excuse to have a go at liverpools manager ?

I supported Keane when he was our player, Rafa obviously didn't.

For me it´s a good decision, Keane would have never success at Liverpool.

He makes happy the Spurs fans and he is happy there, so best wishes for him. Thanks for all Robbie.

im gutted to see Keane go back to spurs to be honest, it reeks of failure on both our and the players part. The cursed no 7 shirt strikes again

Really makes you wonder how it could go so wrong in 6 months.
