SO, we've finally sealed our first real heavyweight deal of the summer.
Keane finally put pen to paper at Anfield yesterday, and I for one, am genuinely excited.
Surprisingly, however, some Reds are somewhat ambivalent to the capture.

I managed to watch about two thirds of our game against Lucerne the other night.
Although, the game was reduced to something of a training session at times, and a lot of our players are clearly only half-fit, there were still some interesting pointers.

PLENTY of activity on the transfer front in recent weeks.
I'm liking this activity. It seems we've cottoned onto the fact that with the Yanks not opening their wallets we need to lighten the load on the playing staff so we have some reddies to play with.
Anyone else really missing the lack of footy around at the moment? Since the end of the Euros, what's there to do other than playing fantasy transfers with the Reds?

IT seems all I'm ever writing is farewell pieces these days.
The next to pass through the saloon doors at Anfield is Peter Crouch who is off to pastures new at Portsmouth.
Nobody split opinion quite like the 6ft 7ins beanpole. He was either one expensive mistake, or a player who had never been given a fair crack of the whip by Benitez.

So sicknote finally departs for Galatasary.
Reports of prolonged whooping sounds coming from Melwood are, as yet, unconfirmed.
Let's have an in-depth analysis over the Anfield career of the winger who made Darren Anderton look like a 14 marathons in a fortnight man.
