Hey benny boy in London, dozens of better strikers???, what matches do you watch? Robbie is one of a handful of great premier strikers- world class. Wake up and I suggest you ease up on the carlings...

Rafa great signing!! Get David Silva now. i cnt wait for the league to start now. very optimistic. Welcome Robbie to Anfield

Aviraj , London,

Shannon,

Have you been watching Liverpool at all? It's pretty obvious that we are good at the back-it's on the wings and up front that we need more firepower. Reina is probably the second best goalie in the league and we have four solid centre backs. Reina is the current golden glove holder!

Dermot, Galway,

i'm a spurs fan and rafa should have done what he has done with barry...

18 mil is way too much for barry and it is also way too much for keane.

this is great business for spurs.

keane is a good player but there are dozens of better strikers out there

ben, London, england

i swear liverpool have more fans in ireland than ireland do.

hopefully spurs use the keane money to have a go at villa after they where advised to bid for him by his agent. Probably just a ploy to get a better deal at valencia but what a coup if its pulled off!

William, london, uk

Not sure what the Reds are thinking here. Scoring goals is not the problem. They can't stop anyone from scoring against THEM. Save us the "Hyypia and Agger can return to form." Worry about the back line, Rafa or you'll be playing Dutch football: All attack, no defense. Exciting but ineffective.

Shannon, Richmond, VA, USA

Arsenal fans sayin in other tabloids that this is awful business!!! lol!! since Henry left, Arsenal dont have any class, not 1 proven striker. Chelsea tryn to buy there way as usual. Man U, ye more lyk Ronaldo Utd, !! BTW keep alonso, seems beta after euros. Desperate for wingrs tho!! Downing,silva!

Zed, Liverpool,

Cant wait to see Robbie team up with Torres. Great work Rafa, adding solid talent to the team. Another high scorer is one thing we need, cant leave it all up to just gerrard and torres, not for two seasons in a row anyway.

Now get a winger or pray Babel improves a bit at the olympics...

Grey , Hohhot, China

"Berbatov has helped him look better than he actually is."

Then imagine how good Torres is going to make him look!!!

Shane Kemp, Luton, England

Now, get a winger and wer in buisness!

BRIAN , Sligo, Ireland

Sad to see Keane go but I think he gave his best for us, wish him well at Liverpool.

Stephen Manick, Trinidad,

Cant wait for the season to get started now, all we need now is david silva. Super signing Rafa!!!

Liton, london, England

Spurs, what are we playing at? Unless we sign Arshavin or some other equal or better replacement then this is a massive backwards step. I think it will be hard to find such a replacement in the time available - and almost impossible to do so in January. The fee is excellent though, but at what cost?

Ben, London , England

12 months ago he was being linked with £6m moves to the likes of Everton and Villa, I'd love to know what's happened in that time to inflate his value so much. No doubt he's a good player but over the past two seasons I think Berbatov has helped him look better than he actually is.

Matt Cook, Enfield,

Benitez is a fool. Keane is a great player, but £18m for a player with only 1 or 2 seasons at the top of his game? Typical of the big clubs, more money than sense.

Irwin, London,

Im a Spurs fan and gutted to see him go but great business for Liverpool, Keane and Torres is a scary looking strike force.

Think Liverpool have a good shot at the title now, good luck to you and thank you Keano.

Sam, Bristol, England

Good luck Robbie - you've been a wonderful servant to Spurs. Very very sorry to see you go, but there you are.

jonathan, brighton,

good signing, assuming it goes through, What Liverpool really need though is two quality wingers if they want to compete for the title this season.

Neil, Manchester,

Excellent signing. He will make a huge difference to us next season.

As for Barry. 16m plus Steve Finnan is a very generous bid. I suspect it will eventually be sufficient. Rafa won't be interested in paying any more and rightly so.
