Robbie Keane: Liverpool's New No. 7


Life has turn full circle for this boy-hood Red after initially turning down the chance to join Liverpool 14 years ago as a young teenager. He checks into Anfield with the 2nd highest transfer fee ever paid by the club (after Fernando "el nino" Torres) - £19 million (to increase to £20 million with add-on bonuses).

He will be assigned the no. 7 shirt made famous by the legendary Kevin Keegan and "King" Kenny Dalglish. Let's hope we see his trademark cart-wheeling, machine-gun firing goal celebrations at the Kop end.

Welcome home to your spiritual footballing home Robbie Keane. Let's hope the new no. 7 + no. 9 partnership will turn into the deadliest attacking combo in EPL.

He's a great player; we're obviously paying far too much for him...but I'd rather him than Gareth Barry.
