Is Robbie Keane worth £20million? Well Benitez seems to think so. He looks like the best bet to partner goal machine Fernando Torres since the likes of Dirk Kuyt, Peter Crouch and Andriy Veronin have all failed to gel. I'm sure that Keane will do alot better to add to the firepower to challenge for the premiership but kinda pricey for a 28 year old.
Gareth Barry's transfer to Liverpool finally looks like going through after the Anfield club came up with the money to secure his move from Aston Villa.
The longest-running saga of the summer has reached a confusing climax after an earlier statement that he was staying at Villa Park.
Sportsmail understands that the mix-up was due to a deadline being missed by 20 minutes, and the transfer will finally be concluded on Thursday.
Villa will receive a £17.5million fee plus right back Steve Finnan in exchange for a midfielder who will fulfil his wish to play in the Champions League this season after all.
The transfer has dragged on since May when Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez made it clear that Barry was his top priority.
Its interesting times at Liverpool FC and can't wait for the season to start as i believe the spanish boss is finally getting to grips with the premiership and getting the right players to challenge for the title. Pricey aqusitions but definetly better then the second grade unknowns who have previously come through Anfield.
