Is Rafael losing it a bit at the critical point in the Premier League season, Kevin Keegan style?
Harry Redknapp may have been a bit relaxed in admitting that he would like Robbie Keane back at White Hart Lane but this is Redknapp's management style and criticising this approach seems somewhat petty.
This move, in my opinion was bad business on both club's behalves. Tottenham Hotspur's system accomodated a striker 'in the hole' perfectly and Keane's virtuosic performances alongside Berbatov will always be memorable for Spurs fans. Losing Keane to Liverpool before Berbatov's move to Manchester United was a big spanner in the works pre-season for Tottenham and they've still yet to fully recover.
Then you've got Liverpool. A team with the best attacking midfielder in Europe in Gerrard and a tendency to play 4-5-1 with may be the best centre forward in the world in Torres. Admittedly you perhaps couldn't have predicted a lack of gelling with Keane at the Reds but Benitez clearly doesn't rate the player.
Another reverse deal for the Lily whites could be on the cards....watch this space on Sunday evening as the transfer window reaches its conclusion.
