"The premier league has announced today that it will be allowed that the clubs end the transfers beyond todays 17.00 GMT deadline, PROVIDED THAT the involved clubs have a confirmation by e-mail that the deal was already agreed".

I'm happy clappy: can anyone confirm this is true and might this mean we'll have a replacement after all? Please, make my night happy?

PLEASE!!?!?!?! (I'm gutted right now  )

It's true Sabes but I honestly think we would have wind of it by now if we had agreed for someone to come in on loan. I'd take it all back if we have but I don't think so mate

Well of course there's nothing we can do about it...we're all just bystanders to the train wreck.  That doesn't mean we can't feel mighty hacked off about how it all played out.  Sorry but I'm not yet to the point of shrugging my shoulders and saying 'oh well, I guess we'll just have to get on with it.'  Not by a long way. 

No probs with that Bob and can understand (when someone syas it more sensibly as opposed to coming on just slagging off the manager ) your thinking . i guess im just one of those people that will wait and see and reserve judgement .

With the greatest respect, there's no need to wait and see. We are taking a huge gamble for the remainder of the season, and what is there to wait and see about? As long as Torres stays fit, we'll probably perhaps maybe just get away with it. It won't make it right though.

It's akin to selling all our reserve goalies (might take a while I know but run with me on this) and saying lets just hope Reina stays fit, He probably will in truth as goalies normally do, but it wouldn't make the decision right.

The absolutely only debate that I can see, the only thing which is infact debateABLE is how much pressure if any the manager was put under to sell, how much of a financial consideration was it?

On the other stuff there's no need to "wait and see", to sell Keane without a replacement is palpably ridiculous.

So Keane was one of only two strikers at Liverpool FC?

Give over, you big pudding.

I think he was one of only two credible strikers at the club yes Lando. Just so we're clear, do you personally think it was a good idea to sell Keane without bothering to replace him?

GYBS wrote:I really dont know why we signed him the first place crazy - my thinking and the only positive i saw at the time was that he had prem experience - i couldnt see how he could fit into our team and our strongest line up . he wasnt a young pacey forward that could back up torres and he wasnt a creative attacking midfielder or wide right attacking midfielder all of which i think we needed a lot more than keane and barry .

And by all accounts, we may have agreed a deal with someone else anyway.

Not like you Lando to not give a straight answer, your normally much more direct. I agree with you if he wasn't ever going to play for us again it wouldn't make any difference. Also, I agree with you that if we have already lined somebody else up, it would make less difference (assuming of course they are any good).

The question was though, would you feel it was a good idea to sell Keane if we haven't bothered to replace him?

GYBS wrote:i could understand getting barry if alonso was going but i didnt want that to happen in a million years and in some ways im glad all that happened cause it seems to have spurned xabi on and now he is one the best players in the team at the moment and pretty close to being player of the year .

Guess that clears that one up then
