The Unveiling

By: CSD | July 29th, 2008

It’s official! While I think this is a great signing, others would tend to disagree. steven. would be one of those. You can read all about his warped opinion here.

I’ve heard the nay sayers: he’s too old, he’s overvalued, Owen was less and more the player. Anyone who doesn’t trust the judgment of the almighty Rafa is really just sort of a terrorist. But seriously, he JUST turned 28, people are having a fit over Barry who will also be 28 in February. Keane was the captain at Spurs and is the captain of his country. If he can produce more goals while having better people around him and can help create more opportunities for Gerrard and Torres then I think that’s well worth the money.

We can’t just keep signing young players to develop or the veterans we have around them like Gerrard and Carragher will be retiring by the time the young guys reach their peak. Eventually, you have to throw in a seasoned player that is already up to speed and I think that’s what Rafa is trying to do with the addition of Keane and possible addition of Barry. So keep the faith and be happy that the 7 shirt says Keane instead of Kewell.

  Must say, I was against this transfer when I first heard the rumors, but now that it has gone through I am ecstatic. The more I thought about it, the more I realized what a proven player he is. He’s been the captain of Ireland for a few years now, hasn’t he? Sub-par players don’t get to wear the armband for their country. I think he’ll be a HUGE piece to the puzzle to get us the league title this year. And at least the people who bought Kewell jerseys (if anyone did) only have to get rid of 4 letters on the back.

  Keane is a great signing. I agree with steven about the risk on signing a 28 year old player for so much money, although we now have the right sided player (Not Kuyt) to complete our offensive attack if Rafa sees fit.

  Torres
  Gerrard
  Babel Mascherano Alonzo Keane
  Aurelio Agger Carragher Degen
  Reina

  I can’t wait for the new season.

  i stand by my “warped” view .. 28 years old? your having a laugh ..
  personally i have nothing against Keane and i think he’ll score a truckload of goals but he’s expensive for his age ..
