On the Eve of the new Season...

This kind of bums me out. It was a lot easier to be a fan of Robbie Keane at Tottenham than it will be at 'Pool. I don't think I can do it now. I also don't think his roving game style fits in well with the 'Pools passing gaming. But he'll still score some goals.

Liverpool close in on £18m deal for Keane

Never rated him much myself. Too selfish imho. Rafa will live to regret this if it goes through, especially if the rumoured fee is accurate.

I suppose he'll sell a shitload of jersey's in Ireland though.

i guess it was actually £20.3m :eek:

a fine player and all, but the man's 28. and how does rafa have money for him, but not barry. doesnt add up

also, fingers crossed: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=558164&sec=europe&cc=5901

If you score goals at the pace of the Toon, you celebrate every goal like it might be your last….

i dunno, mike's scored alot over his career. a better zong would be 'owen celebrates a entire month healthy!'

(of course he's currently injured)

Rooney and Ronaldo both out, not good. Tevez seems lost on his own up front.

the good news is the toon are facing the one team with more broken strikers than us
the bad news is its still man u :(

Good maybe they'll come back to the US for a preseason tour and where the team can't contract any virii…

Sounds like a good time to make a move on Berbatov to me.
