Liverpool did have great purchases but I was a little frustrated about Robbie Keane being sold for a negative for the club but whatever works.

Keane didn't fit in at Liverpool, and that was apparent from his first few games with us. Adapting should not have been a problem, after all he has played in the English League all of his life (except for his loan spell at Inter), so he should have hit the ground running.

He is 29, and at his 'peak', so if he cannot do it now his resale would fall sharply when he hits 30. Tottenham offered 75% of what we paid for Keane in the first place, so it would have been stupid not to sell. He did go on deadline day, and although it would have been nice to purchase a replacement, it was simply not possible in that timeframe.

Robbie Keane is just not a good enough player for Liverpool FC, and he never helped himself by mouthing "**** off" at Rafa everytime he was subbed, its not the Liverpool way...

the only thing i wish liverpool had was depth. I honestly think our starting 11 is better then anyone elses in england, but if someone goes down, we are screwed. That's why i think Man U probabaly team in the world. If someone goes down on their starting 11 its honestly not a big deal, they have a crapload of players on their bench who would be starting anywhere else in the world...

and solving that issue doesn't look good with all the ownership/money issues the club is facing

Liverpool lining up move for ?18m striker Eto'o?

Rafael Benitez is ready to launch an ?18m bid to bring Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o to Anfield, according to reports in Spain.

Samuel Eto'o has been in great goalscoring form.

The Barcelona striker has been in top form this season, netting 25 goals from 27 games, but his future has been the subject of speculation after it was revealed that his contract only has one year left on it.

Liverpool could swoop for a player whose price tag is increasing by the game, but may face competition from both Milan clubs who have shown an interest in the striker in the past.

A source close to Eto'o said in The Sun: "Benitez likes Samuel a lot. Everything is possible for this summer. It will depend on Barcelona's results as well if they decide to buy David Villa.

"Eto'o is not a player to sit on the bench."

Despite impressing in his time at the Nou Camp and landing two La Liga titles as well as a Champions League trophy, Eto'o's time at Barcelona has been chequered and he has faced an uncertain future with new coach Pep Guardiola listening to offers last summer.

Considered to be the source of dressing room discontent, Barcelona may now choose to cash in on Eto'o before the striker can leave for free in 2010, although the player has distanced himself from any transfer talk.

When asked about a potential move to Inter Milan this weekend, he replied: "I do not know anything about Inter.

"I just lost an important match (against Togo) and I am not here to talk about my future, because I'm happy at Barcelona."

Agree, we need to strengthen our squad no question but look at united's slow start to the season when they had Ronaldo out... All the teams these days have a couple of big players that they really need

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has been linked numerous times with a return to St. James' Park, but tonight it has been officially announced by numerous UK sources.

The news broke earlier tonight that the Magpies, who are without a full-time manager since Joe Kinnear took a leave of absence to undergo heart surgery, have taken a gamble on the former striker.

Caretaker boss Chris Hughton will thus step aside to allow Shearer to take the hotseat until the end of the current Premier League campaign.

Shearer, 38, has long been viewed as the preferred choice of some of the more vocal St. James' fans to lead the Geordie outfit.

Having scored in excess of 200 goals for his hometown club in a ten-year period, he is regarded as a hero on Tyneside.

However, he has no management experience either in the top flight or below.

Newcastle United, owned by controversial sportswear magnate Mike Ashley, have yet to comment.

Any updates/confirmations on this?

SHEARER! SHEARER!

God I hope hes the right man to keep us up. Hes been my footballing hero since he came to St James'. Dont want that image tarnished at all.

He is one of the greats.. a great player that is.. doesn't mean that he'll be a good manager too.. but keep praying ;) Three things that are really against him IMO are 1) the position New Castle is in 2) lack of experience and 3) number of games left to turn it around.. It is a real test of his abilities..

As a player, his credentials are undoubtable. As a manager... We shall see. I hope he does well as I don't want to see his good name dragged through the mud as he was such an excellent servant for England.

Have to be honest, I didn't realise until recently that the Sun had printed that about the Liverpool fans after Hillsborough but now I do I will never buy another copy again.

Sad that journalists are not held accountable for the crap that they print, but I am guessing they probably got a handy payoff from the police involved to shift the focus from the real criminals in the whole event.

Sadly though because the government usually covers up rather than punishes police incompetence I am willing to bet there is little likelihood of any justice now.

?We lost a few players during the international break, especially Eduardo, Van Persie and Diaby,? confirmed Ars?ne Wenger. ?They will all be out for tomorrow?s game.

?Nasri came back with the flu, he is in bed and is not available for the game. He has a small chance of feeling better for Sunday, so maybe he should be available for the Tuesday game.

?Van Persie, Diaby and Eduardo we believe have a little, little, little chance but they could all be short for Tuesday.?

As revealed on Arsenal.com on Thursday, Cesc Fabregas, Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott will all return to the Arsenal squad to face Manchester City.[:unsure:br /> :unsure:

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
