Rafa Benitez on Robbie Keane's departure

[mrvolax]

LIVERPOOL HAVE FORMED A BIG 3 WITH UNITED AND CHeSLSEA.

[amitavinashsingh]

The reason why Liverpool didn't win the Coca-Cola Premiership title last season is because of Rafa selling Keane, if Glenn Roeder, Alan Pardew,Iain Dowie or Gary Johnson were Liverpool Managers, they would NEVER EVER sell Keane.

needed more time to settle maybe missed some sitters but i tell u he never stop working hard thats a fact

[rudeboy4u2006]

rafa done the right thing keane missed too many guilt edge chances he does not perform consistently.

this man Benitez is an idiot tactically. torres is number 1 striker no disputing that. keane scored 3 goals in his last 3 starts not bad 4 a player who didn't understand the system. he never got 90mins and he certainly didn't get a fair chance. weaken your squad at this stage shame on u rafa i really wanted pool to do it this year.

As an Irishman I was delighted when Robbie Keane joined Liverpool. However he missed chances he would have scored for Spurs. Also he started 23 games so he was given a good chance, he was taken off because he wasn't scoring and people were losing their scorecast bets (haha). People blame Rafa (who has made some awful decisions) but it's a bit harsh as I believe it was the media who built Keane up to fail. Also Fergie and Wenger have wasted money in the transfer market. before.

Torres is a much better player than Keane. No-one can argue that. There is nothing Keane can do that Torres can't do ten times better. He doesn't fit into Liverpool's 4-5-1 formation. But . . . . . Liverpool only have one striker left so it's not good.

Its a disgrace what Liverpool have done to Robbie , Out the lot of them with the lot of them Rafa and Rick and the two Americans.

[gerrad1973]

At least Rafa made SOME money back on Keane - he's wasted many millions on others. As for stating the fee depends on Tottenhams success - is he having a laugh? Theyre in the bottom 3 - was it a free transfer then!?

[ynwafowler]

what a joke! rafa has let us down bigstyle

kuyt doesnt score

babel looks awful this season

ngog pathetic

keane class

rafa has left us wiv 1 top striker , if torres gets injured were fucked

parry signed him, and rafa was too stubborn to let him play

totally pissed off

[kissingrude07]

Keane missed more sitters than Kuyt, babel and Ngog put together.

[edisyar]

What an idiot this guy is,we have just lost to everton,gerrard and torres could be injured and he sells a 20 million pound striker on the cheap who's ratio is a goal every 2.5 games,just to spite parry,benitez the idiot did everything in his power to unsettle keane even dropping him when he scored 3 in two games,this fool has messed up the season YET again,how many more baron years are we going to have at his hands,and to think he rates lucas,its mind boggling,forget the title itsall over.

[Torreslegend]

i dont think any manager has the balls this man has he pays 20mill 4 a plyer doesnt ply him,has a full on rant on Sir AF,consistently plys a negative formation,takes best plyers off wen need a goal and never bows down 2 public opinion there is never been a manager like Rafa

[cuimhin81]

[therealDLRIUS]

Keane is a gun!

[qualitycontrol58]

So you just threw 4 million away and made yourself look like an idiot (got slated by the press for his treatment of Keane) congrats Benitez...your not going to win the title...
