In fairness aside from keane theyve 3 quality strikers and might still buy another one. We on the other hand have 1 quality striker and we've sold off 3 quality ones. My whole point about Keane is dont seel what u cant replace through stubborness.Hes better than what we have at the moment so until we can a better replacement than him we're less well off as a club - the results back me up.
My whole point is this, I was made up when we signed Keane, I did like him as a player, up until I actually watched him at the match, he spent most of his six months moaning when he wasn't given the ball, moaning at other players when he missed easy chances, moaned when decisions didn't go his way.
As for us having one quality striker, why is that?
Why did we have to sell Bellamy? To fund Torres.
Why did we sell Peter Crouch? Because he was moaning about his England chances and WANTED to leave, Rafa let him and also meant we got Glan Johnson, who I think is a very good player.
And on top of all that we have two owners who haven't the foggiest about the game. Who haven't really got the financial muscle we originally thought they had when they became owners of the club.
They are the reason why we have one quality striker, a trier like N'Gog and Voronin as back-up. Because they didn't promise us the funds that we thought Rafa would be given in the summer to try and bridge that gap between finishing second and top-spot.
As for Rafa choosing Lucas over Aquilani, I've said it before Rafa wants to make sure he is 100% before starting him, he's had a couple of bad injuries in the past at Roma and was rushed back from both earlier than expected. Plus rafa's own playing career was ended earlier by a bad injury, which maybe a reason why he's being so cautious over Alberto.
Imo Aquilani was an emergency buy when Alonso left, especially as we've only actually paid £5 million for him so far, who else could we have got in to replace Xabi, seeing as we had offers for players like Lee Cattermole knocked back.
We may be Liverpool, but under these two tw*ts, we're financially fu**ed and that is probably why we're making deals to get players like Glen Johnson (writing off money owed to us by Portsmouth) and Aquilani (paying Roma in three instalments)
And actually it's not cop on u pommy tw*t, it's cop on u SCOUSE tw*t!!
