My lasting memory will be of him being sold and leaving us with only one reputable striker, and how stupid that decision was.

So he never left a lasting football impression on you then.....

I remember him walking off the pitch saying fk off to Rafa...... does that count

Sad to see him go, a player i liked. would have liked to seen a lot more of him. Who knows what he would or wouldnt have done had he stayed with us. Oh well i suppose theres nothing we can do about it now. Other than look into a quality replacement
good luck to him in the future tho

Lasting memory of Keane just that I feel so so sorry for him to have ended up at his dream club under the reign of a bumbling idiot like Rafa.[/quote]

my memory of him will be the excitement on his face when hed signed for his boyhood hereos not realising that the club he followed as a boy sold their souls to the devil and previous custodians would be gutted to see the state of it now. disgusted at the mo

Something many players may have wanted to say but never had the balls to do it.

It will be too late in the summer, we are supposed to be trying to win the title this season, and we are left with one striker thanks to a stupid decision.

I'll remember Robbie Keane for a couple of reasons. Firstly I'll remember he was the subject of one of the most ridiculous arguments there has ever been on here, whether he was a "Rafa" signing or not .Here's a Rafa interview BEFORE Keane had flopped, which demonstrates just how silly the whole thing was.

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."


So I'll remember that debate with fondness at least, even if I won't look back on the way he was handled with any particular admiration. I don't particularly care about him as a person (never met the bloke) and am not massively concerned if we hurt his feelings. I don't think he was worth 20 million quid, infact we've probably sold for about what he is actually worth. I don't care about any of that stuff, I simply care whether his treatment has eigher helped or been to the detriment of the team. I think is has been hugely detrimental, and hopefully his spell here is seen as a watershed which we must never ever revisit.

I'll also temember him as being probably the only striker in the history of professional football to twice score two goals in a match, and on both occasions be hauled off and dropped in the next match. He may also be the only 20 million pound player never to complete two consecutive matches, although I'm not too sure on that one. So in many ways he did set some records. Hopefully they are records which nobody will ever get close to again, and no manager will ever be allowed to replicate the circumstances.

I'll also remember that we sold a fit and able striker when we only had one other one at the club. A striker who's record in his last three Premiership startswas three goals in three games. Three goals in three games may not sound that flash to some, and others will go for a longer window to calculate stats. My guess is though, that Keane will score regularly at Spurs. I only hope that an injury to Torres doesn't cause us to cast envious glances in Spurs direction. All in all though, a quite extraordinary piece of management from start to finish.

wasting your time trying to make sense to him saint

[GYBS]

and why is rafa being blamed for the fees ? surely he didnt set the asking price or what he was sold for ?

Exactly. I cannot believe Rafa is not going to bring someone in. He must have a loan star lined up somewhere.

Disclaimer. my lasting memory was keane trying his heart out but ultimately not being good enough. still no excuse for him to be shipped out with no replacement

[GYBS]

Maybe rafa did try to bring someone in .
