Respected sources from within Anfield are indicating that the medical of the Pointy Pointy Pariah is imminent. Failing that, it will take place with the next 72 hours.
Given the clear statement from our Chairman and the ear splitting silence from our employee it seems unlikey that this info anything other than too wide of the proverbial mark.
What do you want me to say? You lot are divided. To some, Keane inspires 'he's dead to me' and to others it's, 'he'll always have a special place in my heart'. What I do know is that some folk maintain 'platonic and adult' relationships with their exes. And others amongst us, embrace change and move on.
The source which I quoted also added that "Doc Waller was back from Switzerland." Presumably this is transfer unrelated and merely coded instruction to an International gang of in-car stereo thieves.
PS: Oh yeah, Bob... Park Lane Nomad and I only want to help...
I'd flog this, it may become a target for the wrong element where you're going.

Spurs fans went into meltdown as our transfer window seemingly had a brick thrown through it today.
The morning started off alright. What the Met Office might describe as dull with wet patches. Everybody hanging about, twitching at the net curtains, waiting to see if a Bentley was pulling up outside. The wet patches largely due to the Spanish organ Marca running an unsubstantiated allegation that we had bought someone called Luis Garcia from Espanyol.
Then, just as the cutting and pasting of this article across Europe reached fever pitch... All hell broke loose. Those who were previously over the moon were suddenly as sick as parrots. Three hundred and twenty seven versions of the headline, 'Rafa Keane On Robbie' wizzzed across the www.
Fortunately, the boy Harold happened to slip into a pair of Untwistable Knickers⢠before breakfasting extensively this morning and is able to provide a translation of this afternoon's angst.
Rafa: "We know Villa is a very good player, we know the price and we know the players we have, so when you consider everything we decided he was one of the names, but at this moment, not our target. "
Translation:"Valencia have laughed us off."
Rafa:"Keane is one of the other names and okay we are still working with other names. We were in contact and we will see
now."
Translated: I still have a fag packet with some names on in my car-coat pocket. Either way, I am happy with 20 Players."
I'm not going to get bogged down in the supposed 'legalities' of what some chubby chinned castanet carrying car-coated Barry has done. But I will point out the obvious. This smacks of desperation.
If Levy had said, " That sounds great, Rafa. Let me just check with our cash office that nine million in cash, nine on a Mastercard and two in Giros is agreeable." this statement would have never have gone out.
These are the words of a man whistling in the dark. Bob may well wish to fulfil his childhood dream and shout 'Dalglish!' as he scores in front of the Kop. Benitez may well want to ship him in. But those two ambitions are approximately twenty million quid apart form each other.
BIOYC!
