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:

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
