The Irish eyes are weepingHe was previously a focal point wherever he has played save Inter but in Liverpool, its the reverse.
He has to settle quickly into a foreign style of play. Liverpool are build around Gerrard and Torres. No question about that. LFC is Gerrard and Gerrard is LFC. Torres to a certain extent.
Is he a bad player overnight? Certainly do not think so. He is a victim of circumstances caught between a rock and a hard place. Caught between Rafa and the Yanks. Rafa wanted Barry but got Keane instead. The club got him said Rafa. I thought it was Rick Parry's hands that got Keane just to placate the fans that wanted big name players. Barry was lost after several months, even after the lad was transfer listed by Villa and Keane was brought to cool the fire.
He is devastated of course but to a certain extent he has only himself to blame. Preston was the last straw that broke the camel's back. He was presented with so many chances but failed each time. His finishing that fateful day was comparable to Kuyt's or Lucas'.
He is a victim of circumstances also being continuously compared to Torres's amazing 1st season.
What Torres did was outta this world being different kind of animal. Keane in all fairness has other qualities that Torres does not possess.
I'm sad to see this. If Kuyt, Babel and Lucas can stay, why not Robbie? Those 3 stooges will never scaled his achievements in scoring department. I wonder what he will bring if he is allowed to stay a little bit longer.
Now, poor old Robbie will be remembered only for the wrong reasons.

If we were to bet between a hard headed rafa and a rock, bet on Rafa any day. He is pissed that he lost Barry and Parry paid the money meant for Barry's purchase. And it is alleged that Rafa would have paid less than 10m for Keane.
