IT'S always an entertaining madcap ride counting down the last few hours to transfer deadline.
Tracking the live text on the BBC website from 9pm to midnight has become a 'must-do' activity as the rumours get sillier and the cash gets brasher.
For our part, there was some frenzied activity at Anfield even if it wasn't quite on the Robinho/Berbatov £30m scale.
And it signalled the end of an Anfield career for one of the most genuine, hard-working and honest Reds players over the last five years.

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.

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.

LIVERPOOL have signed up a Danish starlet to their ranks.
Apparently, we've beaten a host of top European clubs to the signature of 17-year-old striker Nikola Saric.
Early indications show he's got a big box of tricks.

So, the Norwegian is on his way to Roma.
He's taken some stick of late, but looking at seven years in total at Liverpool, he's been a bloody good servant.
Let's have a think over his Reds career.

Trawling the web the other day, I found this rather worrying assessment of the Swiss full back from a Dortmund fan.
Entitled Thank you Liverpool, they're hardly crying to see him go.
Doesn't bode well.....Another Josemi you reckon?

REMEMBER when Liverpool paraded around Wembley dressed in those ridiculous white suits before serving up that inept FA Cup final performance in 1996?
Sorry to remind you all.
I think we'd all agree that those days of a guffawing Ruddock in suit and shades trying to look like an Armani model are best left in the past.
However, it looks like that if our new Swiss signing has anything to do with it, the souped up glamour could worryingly be heading back to Anfield.

DID Dirk discover his best position for us on Tuesday night?
I've always been a fairly strong critic of the Dutchman (his ability not is commitment), so when he produces the goods it's only right to acknowledge it.

FERNANDO Torres last night became the first player to score back-to-back Anfield hat-tricks since 1946.
After the dark days of Cisse, Bellamy, Diouf, and the current crop, it's fantastic that the Reds have a genuine world-class forward leading the line.
