well the yanks have shocked me with this one 20mil and there sound like there could be still players to come, we could end up spending £40mil in 5 weeks.

£20m has been raised by sales so far.

we could end up with a top team for about 22mil

not bad spending

Raising a glass to Robbie Keane.

Reguarding your post lakes10, Rafa likes to play the media, is it possible he did have £40m+ to spend and didnt want values going up (like Barry's) and played the press, into believing we were skint? I heard part of the refinancing loan gave Rafa £20m + for transfers but we have been going round like fu.cking paupers with silly swap bids etc?

Possible? For sure.

Probable?

well we have spent 12mil so far if you take the sales aswell. so is we do need to buy Barry then we will see will you know who sold.
before today i was sure we would get Barry for 17mil.
but MON will see we have just handed out 20 mil i would not be shocked if he asked the same.

Well this is what I think. I think Keane will hit the ground running and not stop. I think he is a much better player than he has ever shown in his career so far, he just needed a stage and now he's got it. This time next season the fee will look cheap, and at the end of the season he'll be in the running for the football writers and the players player of the year.

We will play him extremely regularly, he will socre lots of goals which is good because Torres won't quite scale the hieghts of his first season. He will form a dynamic parnership with Nando, we will rotate significantly less than previously and we will go extremely close to winning the Premiership, with a sustained, proper and authentic challenge. I'm picking us to be within five points of the eventual Champions, with the distinct possibility we could be within a point or so.

You can quote me on that

OPTIMISM

by **bigmick** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 9:18 pm

Yep, I really fancy us to have a good go at it this time around Igor. There are obviously things I think we need to do in order to challenge (or more to the point not do) but I really think we are going to focus this year. I sincerely hope we do, because if we don't I think this time next year we'll have a new manager and rightly so. It's not so much that I think that Rafa is the only human being in the Universe who could get us into fourth every season which makes me not want to change the manager, it's more the point that whoever came in would be spending the first three seasons clearing out players he didn't fancy and we'd be back to square one.

No, I think hope and pray that we've finally got our head around it. Keane is a top player and if we play him, he'll be a huge asset.

Really looking forward to this Torres-Keane partnership, it sounds perfect to me

by **Agger's Sleeve** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 9:29 pm

do you think this means we will go back with 2 up front?

i think rafa will keep the same 4-2-3-1 system and have our front four set up something like this

......................torres
keane/babel..gerrard/keane..kuyt/gerrard

REALLY excites me as well. Keane and Gerrard dropping off and picking the ball up to feed Torres is a mouthwatering prospect. With this signing we have improved out sqaad a lot and have taken ourselves closer to Man Utd and Chelsea.

Now let's get the Barry/Alonso saga sorted, get a wide man in, sort out the Rafinha deal and we can look forward to the season.

i'm not happy with shelling out 20 million for a guy who will pick up some sort of injury at liverpool,like all the other signings.this mean we will only get one good season out of him before having to spend another 20 million to replace him in a couple of season.

i think keane will help win those small matches against teams we think we are too good to even turn up for.....but to spend 20 million..jesus. lets face it the reason why we never win the league is because rafa thinks the the team is better than it actually is,and does his rotation thing.

robbie keane when he was young was something special in the making....10 years later his tricks and flicks went and he became very happy just being part of a team rather than running the show ,like he used to as a young guy.....where the hell did keanes flicks and tricks go over the years....."i would luv it if that robbie keane returned"

its simple we win the league by beating all the smaller teams.to do this we need superior players ,rather than players on the same level or just above.
