Rafa Benitez Leaves Liverpool

You mentioned in another post how you want Harry Redknapp as manager, and you must therefore rate him very highly.

Harry Redknapp thought so highly of Robbie Keane that he sent him packing to Celtic.

So which is it?

Is Keane a top quality footballer, and Redknapp's judgement therefore **** - in which case, why do you want a **** manager to take charge of LFC?

Or is Harry Redknapp a good manager, and right in his decision to send Keane packing - in which case, Keane is **** and not a 'quality footballer' ?

Which is it, Contradiction Man?

Robbie Keane was contending for 1 place with Jermaine Defoe and wasn't happy on the bench, therefore pushed for the move.

Everyone knows that and everyone knows Redknapp rates him very highly which is why he paid such a high fee.

Get your facts right before making nonsensical arguments.

Didn't we have a discussion about Redknapp a couple of months ago? I thought I was trying to pick holes in your claim that he had been sucessful with all of his clubs, and I was thinking of reasons to argue with you. Or maybe it was the other way round, can't remember now.

Either way, what do you think of him as a candidate for the LFC job? (assuming he wanted it)

How do Pavlyuchenko and Crouch get games then?

Let's see what Harry Redknapp does with Keane now that he's been dumped back on his lap.

Redknapp likes to play with the little and large partnership, the reason why Pavluchenko was missing for most of the season(as Crouch was no. 1 'big man') I thought a man of your knowledge would have known that.

Did you read my post?

yes i did.

however it didnt explain why he was at Celtic.

[banditos]

People still blaming these 2 tards I see...

While they are indeed fools, Rafa and only Rafa ****ed up the team itself with his shocking signings and dreadful treatment of top quality footballers like Babel and Keane and Alonso.

I still think I'm dreaming when I see the name "Lucas" on the back of a red shirt.

Babel aint a top quality footballer and Keane was given plenty of chances at LFC but fluffed most of them. Wouldn't say that either were treated that badly.

[Craig_H]

So if they were competing for one place with Defoe, why did Keane get sent out on loan, instead of Pav or Crouch?

Pav isnt that large, yet he's played alongside Defoe.

And why, when Keane was available on loan, did nobody other than Celtic want him?

It did. Read it again.

i have it doesnt.

a player he rates so highly who is in his peak being sent on loan. (not a youngster learning the game)

why didnt pav or defoe go on loan if Keane was rated soo highly?

Mate, Keane scored a brace on a couple of occasions and was promptly benced for the next game and lasted only 6 months.

Babel is a top quality player, we just didn't see enough of it at Liverpool for 2 reasons: Benitez destroyed his confidence. Benitez didn't give him enough freedom to express himself.

Very interested in Babel if Liverpool get an attack minded manager and Babel is still there.

Where/when has Babel demonstrated his 'top quality'?
