Keane not at training today.

[JMARKH]

I'd take that now it is clear keane is going, lennon seems good enough for the squad at least. Whether he'd want to come here after seeing what happened to his former team mate is another matter.

[Torvald Utne]

No, I was trying to have a bit of debate/banter about football but the person I was directing it at obviously chose to ignore it, presumably so he could continue putting army paint on his face and wrap a red tea-towel around his head.

 

It's funny really, I come on here to talk football, not act hard but I suppose that's where me and you are different isn't it?

 

not sure where I was "acting hard" in that question, it had more than a hint of jest in it as you did infact appear to be talking to yourself.

I'm not Lennon's biggest fan.

 

However, there is definatly something there. If we can improve his final ball we'd have a real talent on our hands. He's quicker and more skillful than Pennant and is the opposite of Dirk.

[Red House]

I don't mind Lennon that much, but we better get some striker on loan or whatever, coz' the prospect of Kuyt and Ngog upfront if ever Torres gets injured is more than enough to make a man throw himself away.

 

(Oh a Jimi quote!)

[Red-Ed]

Well Keane is at Anfield - what the hell does that mean?????

[JohnnyH]

Yep, Keane just walked in to the home dressing room.

But that's like saying, if we could improve Kuyt's first touch and his finishing we'd have a real talent on our hands. You're asking the impossible!

It means the media are clueless.

He was wearing a Spurs tracky to be fair.

[James Dean]

He was wearing a Spurs tracky to be fair.

REALLY??

[ScottyT]

REALLY??

 

No, it was a Downing shirt.

[WaltonRed]

I think Lennon could be ace with the right manager but we'll see wont we.

[Brownie]

Not in that post maybe, but having a look through your posts and it tends to just be anger towards other posters from yourself, which is fair enough, but I come on here to talk about footy.

 

Anyway, as I said in that post, when I was talking to myself ;-), onwards and upwards.

[From Guillem Balague:]

 

Benitez [is] in a very difficult position if he sells him for any less than the £20 million Liverpool paid for him and the club is seen to have made a loss. Benitez will be held responsible for underselling a player who has surprised many at the club – including players and technical staff – who had expected a great deal more from the Republic of Ireland forward.

 

 

Maybe if Rafa didn't insist on playing Keane in midfield he'd get more from him.

 

Just a thought, like.

[Special K]

Or maybe we'd have seen more from him if he hadn't missed so many sitters when he was given a chance......

[odris]

I thought he had a Man City jacket on and a pair of Arsenal trainers?

[johnb]

Apparently something's going to break on this on Five Live shortly.

[ScottyT]

Benitez said he 'thinks' Keane will stay.

 

Didn't sound very convincing.

[redrosetints]

Don't put words in my mouth, that isn't what I said and you know it.

 

I said I don't know if they asked or not, but if they didn't it would be staggering as it should have been the first thing they asked. Had they been able to catch Gillett and Parry in a lie, they could have nailed them with that.

 

So either they asked and the answer backed up the version given by Parry and Gillett, or they didn't ask. The one thing that is clear is that Rafa did not tell them anything different to Gillett and Parry did, because we'd know about it if he did.

 

But I don't know if they asked or not, and I told you that on the other thread.

 

Firstly, my apologies for misquoting you. I thought they'd not asked ? As you'd not been told Rafas version ? Had they asked it would be what Rick, George and Rafa told them.

[ToxtethTerror]

Has anyone heard anything on Rafa's contract? The yanks are going home tonight so something must have been sorted with it?

[Hazel Motes]

No, he said "I'm keane to stay at the club"

[Guest RafaIsRafa]

That was weird, Keane was all smiles today so I cant believe he'd be like that if he was 100% fit but left out of the squad, the last thing any proper player would be doing is all smiles. So think he either had a knock and knew he couldnt play anyway or he's off.

 

I seem to remember the last time he was left out he stayed at home to avoid all the speculation being on him aswell. Guess we've only got 22 hours max to find out anyway.

[Guest RafaIsRafa]

He said 'I think so' and smiled. Aside from 'Yes,' that was pretty informative - it certainly took the wind out of that idiot Shreeves's sails, as he was clearly expecting loads of 'ums' and 'ahs' and 'no comment'. It was funny to watch.

[Baldi]

Has anyone heard the rumour about Eidur Gudjohnsen coming to us on loan tomorrow to replace Keane.
