Reminds me of a post ages ago in one of the threads, saying that Berbatov could be the missing link in Uniteds attack, someone said "Tevez is definately the missing link, look at the monkey head on him".

Brilliant.

Keane's €3m home in Manchester

By Cormac Murphy


Wednesday September 24 2008

NEW Liverpool striker Robbie Keane has bought himself a new house, but not in the notoriously rundown Merseyside city -- it's in Manchester instead.

The Ireland captain's purchase of a €3m home has come far quicker than his first goal for his new club following his latest blank against Crewe Alexandra last night.

Instead of moving to the more downmarket Merseyside, Robbie has opted for the far more leafy location of Cheshire, Greater Manchester.

Popular

The Ireland captain and his new wife Claudine Palmer (25) have splashed out €3m on a mansion in an area popular with wealthy footballers.

Robbie (28) made the move because he and Claudine couldn't find a suitable home in Liverpool, it has been reported today.

Keane, who has yet to score since his record €23m signing from Tottenham, was eager to move to the area where Ireland and Manchester City defender Richard Dunne already lives.

The new Liverpool striker is known to be good friends with Dunne.

It is believed the recent robbery of Claudine's watch and jewellery from their rented penthouse in Liverpool was not a reason for the move.

The couple are thought to regard the break-in as a minor incident.

Cheshire has become increasingly popular with footballers over the past 10 years.

David Beckham and his wife Victoria started the craze and they were followed by Manchester United stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Wes Brown, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney.

Keane brushed off the burglary at his Liverpool apartment as "one of those things that happens".

The robbery took place while the Liverpool star was on duty with the international side earlier this month.

Claudine was at home in Dublin visiting family at the time.

Value

"It's being taken care of at the moment. At the end of the day, it was just a minor incident that happened.

"No one was endangered or anything like that. It's just a few things that have gone missing," Keane said two weeks ago.

Although police have so far been unable to put an exact value on the items stolen, they believe that the raiders did not deliberately target the apartment because Keane lived there.

Probably not the only Liverpool player to buy a house in Cheshire it technically is in Greater Manchester so dunno what the issue is. Although you could of mentioned Merseyside as well. None issue story anyway.

Cheshire is a County and a not in Greater Manchester,Sneaky attempt to add more to the bad stereotypical image the press like to paint of Liverpool.

Agger's strike from last night. Sweet hit.

MementoMori

After Agger scored seems pretty much everyone looked delighted for him. Unerstandable but good to see all the same.

DeadSkin

I like the way he gestures to his name on the shirt to the fans

Benitez wants new deal for Agger.

pesireland

What does everyone make of the Gareth Bales storys this morning??

I personally think its bull imo, we have loads of left sided players (poor one) atm, unless rafa has planned to sell half of them. And he can start with Dossena imo poor poor signing and no better than Aurelio or Insua.

here's the link daily mail reported it.

Liverpool Eye Up Bale

Damn right it was. Wonder if he can take a corner?
Cant wait till he and Skyrtl are the first choice pairing. Nothing against Carra but both of them can pick out a pass and seem to at least be capable of footballing their way out of trouble rather than hoofing.

Why would we buy another sick note for the LB position. Aurelio is hardly ever fit and I cant recall Bale starting too many for Spurs. We need reliability not potential after 6 months on the sidelines

zAbbo

Story started in The S*n didn't it?

15m haha, do they know something our accountants don't?

DeadSkin

BBC reporting the Sun have the Bale story aswell. Most likely to be bullsh!t.

From the Echo:

Liverpool FC may move for Brazilian defender Aislan.

Don't want Bale, he's a girl, hairclips and all that :pac: :pac:

mike65

That guy is a central defender, 6' 4"/15 stone so he'd be effective! But not needed.

Mike

pesireland

I think he is a good player, young 20 i think (correct me if im wrong), have plenty of games under his belt in the english game.

But i just think its crap anyway, i quite like Aurelio tbh pitty he can't stay fit though.

zing

We're signing Batman ?

Oh wait - it's the other Bale fella from Wales

Boggles

Bale is actually a quality player, he is just made of extra fragile glass.

Dont think there is anything to the Bale story, but i would be delighted if there was.

Stolen from another poster on another site, just thought it was an excellent post in regards to our performance the other night, people moaning about it while salivating over arsenals and wat that performance really shows.

Liverpool will never ever play without fear. Not until we fall away from hanging onto the coat tails of the top two. While we're still able to see the League title and European Cup on this side of the horizon, every single match will be analysed to death, even pre-seasons and the likes of the other night. Wenger doesn't give a **** about his young 'uns getting twatted by Totteham, he just uses the League Cup as a chance for them to express themselves on a bigger stage. Us, on the other hand, with our wonky, dysfunctional hierarchy and deluded world wide "fanbase", have to win every game. And, even when we win, we're still "****e" - there's no middle ground at LFC.

People were calling for Benitez to be sacked after he "disrespected" the FA Cup at Burnley and when Arsenal knocked us out of the League Cup. Imagine if he was seen as sacrificing a couple of league games to bring Darby and Insua into the back four for a bit of Premier League experience, there'd be ****ing carnage! Imagine if we'd only drawn against Stoke because he'd kept the clearly unfit Torres on the bench and played Pacheco!

Liverpool's a ****ing pressure cooker. That's why we have the likes of Deggen, Dossena and Ngog in the first team squad instead of the 17,18 and 19 year olds who've won back-to-back youth cups and the reserve league. Too much pressure, too much fear and not enough support from within the club and massive sections of the so-called "support" to allow risk taking.

Good post alright. We actually do always seem to play for the point first rather than the 3.

Too little margin for error these days, in the league especially to have the luxury of blooding youth. Every top clubs matches is scrutinised to highest degree, Liverpool wouldn't be alone in this regard.

As for winning the Reserve league and Youth Cups it is not necessarily an indication of top quality talent coming through the ranks, I wouldn't be pinning too much hopes on winning these underage and reserve competitions.

This could well be Sami's last season at Anfield, so maybe Rafa is looking for the future, for sure, no?

Mr Alan

if this lad is coming in, it'll be for as Sami leaves

mike65

Okay thats a fair point - but the 10 million buy out price will not be met I presume!

Mike

Mr Alan

10m is **** all in this day and age tbh. I'm sure it'll be met, with appearance clauses etc being taken into account.

Finnan was injured on his first start for Espanyol last night. Came off after half an hour

Extremely short sighted to be honest!!!

Hypia is a grand 4th choice but he has a season or so left in him. We need to be scouting for a long term replacement now.

Indeed, it really is **** all if the player turns out as expected.

A bit of a strange move for me if we are signing Aislan for somewhere in the region of £7-10. What about Huth and San Jose? they have played very well in the reserves, and should be given a chance to challenge for Hyppia's fourth spot when it becomes vacant.

Whats the point of buying two young lads who haven't put a foot wrong, only to buy someone else only marginally older for big money to jump ahead of them in the pecking order? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, unless Rafa thinks that Huth and San Jose are still too inexperienced and need a few more years learning their trade.

Maybe they aren't good enough for Rafa? The one area where I would have complete faith in him is in his opinion of defensive players.

I'd trust his opinion too. Not sure about the "not good enough for Rafa part". I think maybe more like "not good enough yet". A couple of years maybe. Anytime I've seen the two of them play I've always been impressed and thought that they have the potential to obe first team players in the future.....but I ain't as good as Rafa:P

Des wrote: »

I know nothing about the lad, so can't comment on that. Am I right in saying that he's playing in South America at the moment? We can't be sure that he'd adapt to the Premier League. Gabriel Paletta came to us with a good reputation but never made the cut. Lucas and Leto are still settling in afer 12 months and are nowhere near fulfilling their full potential (which I believe both will in time). On the flip side to that you have Tevez and Mascherano! Its just hard judging players who haven't played in the premiership before.

As I said though, I haven't seen the lad play at all so will have to defer to your judgement Des:)

By the way, does anyone know how Leto is getting on in Greece?
