Keane ready for reds after medical

Keane signs for Liverpool Robbie Keane today underwent a medical with Liverpool FC ahead of completing his move to Liverpool for £18 million tomorrow.

Keane, who has previously been to Spain with Tottenham on a pre-season jaunt, could well fly back out tomorrow to join the rest of the Liverpool players ahead of Wednesday’s clash against Villareal.

The 28 year old will become Liverpool’s second most expensive signing, with potential success and an extra £2 million could be handed to Spurs if Liverpool succesfully manage to land the Premiership title during Keane’s initial contract.

The player is expected to land a £80k a week deal and will sign a five year deal with the reds.

We understand the player has passed the physical aspect of his medical and the club are merely waiting for test results.

I’m well happy with this signing, A Proven striker in the Premiership
I’m sure that the Keane , Torres partnership will be a winning one,

I dont know about every one else but i’m a little bit worried that were paying over the odds for Keane. I know he is tried and tested at home and abroad and he is a proven goal scorer but does 18 or 20 million not seem a bit much for a 27 or 28 year old. we dont want to end up like them fools down at Stamford Bridge paying over the odds for every player they buy. I like Keane as a player and have every faith that he will put all his heart into liverpool and prove me wrong about his price tag.

Y.N.W.A.

I’m very impressed. What a player to have!! We have always cried out for a creative player who can provide and score goals himself. Also, the way he conducts himself on the pitch for Spurs and how he led them on the field, demonstrates his leadership qualities, which is always good for any team.

Thought David Villa would be a good buy but hey, Rafa knows best. Well done Rafa, you will truly be an Anfield great and we are very proud to have you as our manager!!! Thanks!!! Premiership title this season? WHY NOT!!! =)

In Rafa We Trust

I think that Robbie Keane is a terrific signing and if he and El nino can strike up an early partnership then we’ve every chance of challenging for the title. At the back Daniel Agger teams up again with Carra which will sure up our defence this season so back to front we are looking strong . The only concern really is strength in depth when injuries occur so hopefully the squad will be fit for most part of the season at least .
