Would you have him back?

I would, I feel he wasn't given the fair crack of the whip under Benitez and didn't have long enough time to form a double act with Torres. (Mainly due to Torres being injured half of the season).

Plus with Rafa reluctence to use him because of his boardroom spat with Parry I firmly believe that we would of won the prem that year if Rafa had played him more and we could of turned one or two of those draws into wins.

I would bring him back as shown in the Everton game that season Keane and Torres do link up well.

Yes, i'd have him back, like you said he never got a decent run, and when he did play it was mainly as a lone striker which is not his best role, plus he would probably be available for cut down fee now!!!

He could well be our gary mac but well, that's about it.

By the way, I think he's past it.

Pacheco will be given a run this season. But a set of forwards of Torres, Keane, Pacheco & A N Other would be a good start

No, Spurs loaned him out when they'd resigned him, he is not the same player he was a couple of years ago.

There are better players out there, of course whether we can afford them is another matter.

I wouldnt have him back...True - Rafa didnt give him a fair crack...But the open goals etc. that he was missing 3 or 4 times a game were not caused by Rafa. His goal to game ratio was woeful for us so I was ecstatic when we managed to get two thirds of our money back for him a year down the line...Im not saying he's not a good player - Some player's styles of play just dont fit at certain clubs. Good luck to him but I dont want him back.

Thats very true but with a bit of luck the new manager, who ever he is, will change our style of play to a more attacking style and that would suit Keane

I always felt Rafa, for all of his attributes, was intent on playing a game of human chess each match instead of letting players express themselves
