I'm guessing this will make the club even more reluctant to let Berbatov go now. Although after spending big in the last two years, Spurs have now recouped a substantial sum of money in a short space of time.
I have no idea
Bundesliga Superstar and German legend, Mario Gomezperhaps.
Who would you realistically want TS
Or better put, what type of player do Spurs need now
I want arshavin
I want Arda Turan
I want Pavlyuchenko
Vesolo/Moutinho would be nice as well.

Well I can honestly say I am gutted with Keanes departure.
Really am..
Keane is a phenomenal player, retards/spastics will say he's not all that, but hey they're retards. This guy will improve Liverpool considerably.
The creativity this guy possess will astound the Liverpool fans. It's a shame that he has now decided to leave us after all the loyalty we have given him, however I will certainley won't boo him when he returns to WHL, simply because this guys been a inspiration to our team and always given 110%...
Keanes signing will make the biggest impact next season, mark my words....

a team that wants to win the league don't spend 20M on the likes of keane, not to say he isn't a very-good player, but i team like liverpool should be signing World class players, if they had put and extra 7M pounds on that i'm sure they could have gotten eto'o.
and 18M for Barry with Quaresma looking for a big club, come on rafa.

Have you watched keane play? people are soo ficke and comment on players without realising how good they are. We have scored alot of goals last season and the creativity did not come from the midfield, rather it was from the strikers.
Keane is technically awasome, you watch him play closely and you will realise it. Do not be fickle and be fooled into thinking he isn't anything special just because he isn't S American/Spanish....
Like I said, this sale has hurt me the the most after all the departures in the past 5-9 years....

You're bang on mate,
However, i think it is wrong to also suggest Keane cannot become a player who cant significantly improve us. I was one who (might i add genuinely) thought players like Saha and Yorke couldn't do that for you guys... SAF proved me completely wrong. Our primary trophey as everyone is aware is the league, and he is proven in this league. Infact hes grown with experience (in terms of delivering) which for a striker is some compliment, because usually as defenders figure them out, they find it much harder.
Can you imagine the space in between the defence and midfield that Torres will create against the sort of mid table teams we've struggled to pick points up against. Is he good enough to take us to the next level against the more established teams? only time will tell... I wouldn't like to say because i still feel Torres will be the focal point in those types of games.

Firstly where would have this £7M come from
Maybe if Arbeloa is sold we would have got some of it or if Alonso was sold but how long do we have to wait for this to happen.
We need to move quickly in the market point in case the Keane signing. If we didn't sign him now and United signed Berbatov first than who knows if we would have got Keane.
We bid £18M for Quaresma last summer, Rafa has said so and were rejected.
The money we are to supposedly meant to spend on Barry will come from the sales of 2-4 players.

Messiah, whilst i appreciate what you are saying... top clubs have signed players for decades that haven't be the 'star names' who have come and made huge impacts, Yorke and United (Yorke + Cole combo '99), Ferdinand at N'castle was for at least two seasons as prolific as Shearer...
Marketing drives up so much hype, the fact of the matter remains Keane has undoubtable ability, can he be a stride forward for Liverpool? Keane will be the only person who can answer that, but for me his dedication, belief and ability i'd never question, the fact hes a Liverpool fan (so we've been told) should only add fuel to his burning ambition.
My old man told me one thing i buy into, there aren't always right or wrong decisions, but its what you make of them. If Keane steps up to the challenge and gives Liverpool 80% of what Yorke gave United, he'll be a success.

I'm not saying keane isn't a very good player, infact i think he and torres could form a very good partnership. but i was really looking for a signing of intent by Liverpool this off-season, someone who had already established them self as a match winner for a CL team or a up and coming player like Quaresma.

Like i said, i totally understand what you are saying, because most Liverpool fans have banding those types of players around as targets who would theoretically take us to the next level...
My point was simply, sometimes what doesn't appear on the surface a particularly overwhelming impact signing, can sometimes bring to the party more than what was expected, he will almost certainly see more of the ball than at tottenham because of Benitez's philosophy to try and 'control' games, which basically means dictate / dominate the possession.
I feel hes an ideal signing, he will IMO perform to a very high standard in the league, whether hes the last piece of the jigsaw is an entirely different question, the question marks i have - will be in Europe, but hes technically sound enough to potentially be a threat in Europe for us, and hasn't the worst international record being ROI all time top scorer with 33 goals in 80 odd games.
For me, he now has the opportunity to prove whether he is infact what many expected him to be, a top forward in Europe.

Messiah - the point is that with the co-owners of our club in open dispute, we were never going to have money for a £30m signing.
I see Keane as a direct replacement for Crouch and as such I think he's a good signing.

Well as none of us are privy to the exact financial details of the running of the club, no-one really knows. But I would guess not.
TBH, while I would like to see us sign a wide player, Crouch leaving meant that priority one was probably a striker. If we'd have signed Quaresma and then Torres got injured we'd have been in all sorts of problems.

Possibly true.
Still think you could have gone for a slightly lower profile winger though - someone like Ben Arfa or Rosina maybe

Well he either is or isn't, but this is the season for him to prove himself. When he signed for us last summer he was 20 with no Premiership experience. This year (barring injury) he should be aiming to get at least 20 premiership starts under his belt and cementing his place in the first team.
