I didn't mean you either mate
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 11:55 pmI was a fan i thought he would be ideal . Never worked out though.
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 12:25 amI reckon it's Barry as he was a Keane optimist.
I was too but all things conidered, it was hard not to be. As it was he turned in "nothing" performances 90% of the time which is why I really don't believe a significant amount more playing time would've restored my hopes for him.
He should still be able to do a job for Celtic, though, much like Bellamy did before he joined Balckburn.

I thought he was a good player mate, I just didn't think he was the type of player we needed at the time, and that we still need.
We need/needed either a big bustling cente forward or a very creative second striker, and Keane is neither of those.

Surely can't mean me either, before he came here I was indifferent to him, an ok striker but not someone I thought we should go out and buy. When we signed him it stuck out as a silly price, £20.3m, for a 28yo and a nothing special striker at that.
I read today in the rumours we're going to sign Jovanovic from Standard Liege on a free in the summer, his goal knocked the bitters out of Europe in the UEFA Cup qualifiers

You're not seriously expecting to have a rational discussion with Tonyeh over Keane are you?!?!? I remember him claiming he wasn't a big Keane fan, or words to that effect, and yet constantly harped on about how Keane was victimised and never played beyond the 60th minute of any game
That list of goalscorers in the Premiership is as meaningless as a list of top runscorers in Test cricket. The longer they play and the more Tests they play, the more runs they will accumulate. Doesn't mean Sachin is better than Bradman, although some fans of a certain country will try and make out he is if not actually stating it outright

Sachin is better than Bradman, by what measure can you argue against that. Teh standard of bowlers is far far higher these days than in Bradman's era.
Having said that Bradman was also fantastic and raised the bar in world cricket.
I am slightly bewildered who Keane scored all these goals for, it sure as hell wasn't us.
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 5:28 pm^Didn't know they played cricket in Norway or wherever you're from?!
Comparing players from eras 50 years apart is always difficult. Although I would say batting is alot easier these days though with the advances in technology and pitches etc. 99 batting average will NEVER be beaten.
Anyway..isn't this a football forum?

Nope not much cricket played in Norway but I grew up in England so delight on the rare occasions they beat your lot at the ashes.
I would personally say that the standard of cricket is much much higher now than it was in some bygone era when most of the players were amateurs, anyway if we are going way back then my nomination is for W G Grace.

I'm not a big fan of Keane at all. In fact, I was sceptical myself about his signing for Liverpool.
But the shite that's talked on here about the lad is ridiculous at times.

The agent of Milan Jovanovic claims his client is not on the verge of signing a pre-contract agreement with Liverpool.
Reports earlier in the week had suggested that the Serbian playmaker was close to committing his future to the Reds and was expected to form part of Rafa Benitez's squad in 2010/11.
However, it has now emerged that such a deal has not been put in place, with the Standard Liege forward yet to decide where his next move will take him.
Jovanovic has plenty of avenues to explore, with numerous clubs monitoring his situation.
Liverpool had hoped to beat the rush for his signature by reaching an agreement in January, but could be about to see those efforts come to nothing.
"There are many possibilities," Jovanovic's agent Zoran Stojadinovic told Superdeporte.
"The situation will be resolved soon, but he has not signed for any club as yet."
Options
It is believed that Spanish giants Valencia have edged ahead in the race to land Jovanovic, with Stojadinovic admitting that discussions with the Primera Liga outfit are 'very advanced'.
However, there are plenty of other sides still in the frame and nothing has been ruled out as yet.
"There is plenty of interest from Spain," added Stojadinovic.
"But there are also a number of clubs from across Europe that remain keen."

Your words (in defence of Keane) and your claim you aren't a big Keane fan don't tally, I don't believe I'm wrong when I say you don't bat an eyelid at "all the shite that's talked on here about the lad" in reference to Kuyt so you are at best fickle about who you defend.
He was poor, maybe he should have been given longer BUT not because of anything he did, but for the fact that players given six months is a joke. That said, it could have been the right time to cut our losses, we don't know what the exact fee or terms of his return to spudz were, but it could be that keeping him would have cost us a shedload more than chances he missed
