After months of specualtion. Wondering who the striker will be to replace Peter Crouch, all Liverpool fan's ears pricked up when the news of Robbie Keane spread through the halls of Anfield. Established? Check... Knows how to score? Check... Can play in the premiership? Check... the three main questions all fans wanted answering. Also throw in the fact he's a boyhood red and maybe, just maybe we've found the answer to our goal problem. Of course Torres flourished last season, but the goal tally cannot rest solely on his shoulders. We needed someone who can make him even better and in the experienced feet of Keane it seems we've found the right man.
Sporting the famous number seven shirt, Keane as some big steps to follow in. The names Dalglish and Keegan ring to mind, however, I doubt we'll be adding
Kewell to that equation. Keane is well respected
through out the footballing world and has a raw talent that the best strikers would be proud off. Playing at top teams, mostly famously Tottenham Hotspur, Keane comes across as a veteran
of the beautiful game. However, only at the tender age of 28 and supposedly hitting his peak. Liverpool fans are wetting there lips and looking foward to the season that is crawling upon us. He
might not be the answer to all of our problems, but it is certain he will make an impact at the club he has loved since childhood.

The right hand man to Torres, all Liverpool fans are hoping that the combination of Torres and Keane will be tormenting defences for many years to come, and lifting trophies for many years to come. Maybe this season isn't the season Liverpool will win the premiership. Maybe we will have to wait one or two more years till we grasp the holy grail of english football. However, with Keane joining the books and the future of Liverpool looking good. One things for certain. We might have had a golden past, but our future is looking silver... hopefully due to the trophies we will be picking up.
