Well I am willing to eat my own words. Only a day after I stated that there would be no big transfers Liverpool go and and make me look by a fool by signing Robbie Keane for a fee that could rise to £20.3 million.
Keane, 28, underwent a medical on Monday after agreeing personal terms on a four-year contract worth around £80,000 a week over the weekend. Spurs said they agreed an initial fee of £19m plus a potential further £1.3m.
Tottenham have also agreed to drop their official complaint to the Premier League after Liverpool apologised for their conduct in pursuing the Irishman. Relations between the clubs became strained after Spurs chairman Daniel Levy accused the Reds of breaking Premier League rules in making their interest in Keane known despite being told by the Londoners he was not for sale.
Liverpool fans seem chuffed with the signing believing that Keane will be the perfect partner for Torres while bitter Spurs fans think he will only frustrate Torres with his different style of play.
