We've fu...c...k...ed it. what is Rafa's planning for the rest of the season? The league, Champions League and FA Cup with just one striker who is trying to avoid his 4th hamstring injury of the season. All this when we are chasing a league title. Waiting in the wings we have Dirk Kuyt, the most maligned forward we have seen at the club in god knows how may years. We have David Ngog, who has so far looked young, frail and inexperienced or there's Ryan Babel, a self proclaimed striker whom Rafa has never had the faith to even play in his favoured position in any game of significance since he arrived at the club. And then we've got a couple of lads in the youth team who (despite a decent pre-season) have never got anywhere near the first team. I'm simply amazed that the manager has let his squad get into this predicament. We're relying on Torres staying fit for for the rest of the season and on Babel turning himself into a first class striker. Otherwise we are completely fu...c...k...ed. Anyone disagree?

bang on mate, the whole situation is a disgrace and has left a real sour taste in the mouth. What the hell are our options now?

1807: "If we get an undisclosed from Spurs for Keane, it means it was less than £10m. As a Ltd company, anything over £10m has to be declared on the the stock market."
Arthur, north London, via text on 81111

is this true?

[GYBS]

and who knwos mayve just maybe torres will go through the rest of the season fit and scoring goals and players like babel and ngog and maybe even pacheco will get a chance in the fa cup .

[Boocity]

I think this was just a power struggle between Rafa and Parry and unfortunately Keane was the pawn in the middle.

I dont think Rafa gave him a chance and didnt really want him. rafa and Parry need to realise that no one person is bigger than LFC

[GYBS]

who is bigger ? the club or keane ? yeah he was fulfilling his dream to play at liverpool- well thenhe should of played better then when he had the chance . lots and lots of people have it as a dream to play for liverpool but does that mean they deserve special treatment ? he played enough games early on to show us he was going to be good enough and at the end of the day he didnt .

so what do we now, if Torres is injured or needs a rest? i suppose ur hero Kuyt is gonna score the goals we need 

we are going to carry on supporting the club and trying to win trophies .

We will all support the club mate, but know one
person ie player OR manager is bigger than the club.

spot on misty - keane is gone now . the club will still move on without him .

ah yes, coz that gonna put the ball in the back of the net. Of course were gonna support the club, why do you think everyones is on here concerned about this whole mess, because we support the club, if we didnt care everyone would be saying oh well lets move on. The fact of the matter is Rafa has just sold the only other Striker we have in the squad as has replaced him with no one! were big time

Agree    why sell unless we have a replacement ready??
MADNESS

I think Pacheco has gone on loan somewhere.

[LiverpoolMadman]

Those 3 boys are good for the future but NO CHANCE to play full 90min under Rafa ... Rafa prefer to play Kuyt even at Kuyt didn't score goal ...

[Fowler_E7]

and who knwos mayve just maybe torres will go through the rest of the season fit and scoring goals and players like babel and ngog and maybe even pacheco will get a chance in the fa cup .

so your happy with putting our hopes in the hands of babel and N'gog?

Maybe it was a case of if we didnt take this offer now we would not get such an offer again in the future as right now Spurs needed someone.

Agree, why sell a striker if you do not have anyone to replace him. We have the opportunity to win the league for the first time since 90 and we are going into the final stretch without little back up to Torres.

who gives a about that? were in the middle of challenging for 3 trophy's and we have one recognised striker, we all better start praying to the footballing gods that Torres stays fit

[Arda Turan]

Anyone think Rafa could have a striker lined up? No?
