There has been much speculation about Robbie Keane's future atLiverpool since his surprise omission from the squad that faced Evertonin the FA Cup on Sunday. More so after Rafael Benitez admitted he hadleft the Irishman out of the squad for David Ngog, who had impressed inthe reserves during the week.
Newspapers went into overdrive with rumours that Keane was about tofollow Jermain Defoe and Pascal Chimbonda back to White Hart Lane andTottenham Hotspur. Since his £20m dream move to Liverpool, I think itwould be fair to say that Keane has not set the world alight, and thatthere seems to be some kind of mistrust on the part of Benitez.
If you sit down and analyse Keane's 34 game career at Anfield, youcould be forgiven for thinking so. After making his debut in theChampions League qualifier against Standard Liege in August, Keane hasstarted 23 games of his 34. Quite good, especially for a new player.
However, he has only finished five games. So Keane is always playinglooking over his shoulder at Rafa, waiting for the No. 7 to be raisedabove the fourth official's head. This knowledge that he is "always"going to be substituted has had a huge effect on the Irishman'sconfidence, and has placed even more pressure on his slender shouldersas he knows he will be taken off regardless of whether he plays well ornot.
And, after Steven Gerrard's admission to MarkLawrenson that Keane's agent was told to find him a new club atChristmas after Rafa had lost all faith in him and wanted him out ofthe club, it would seem that Keane's dream move had turned sour.
But why would Rafa choose to subject his second most expensivesigning to such treatment? Why the continual substitutions? Why omithim from important squads? I mean this is the player he spent £20m on,who needs time and an arm around the shoulder to settle, why treat himlike this?
And once you ask those questions, and you add one or two other things into the equation, you come up with the answer.
Rick Parry signed Keane, without the full backing of Benitez.
Through no fault of his own, Robbie Keane has become the wedge inthe power struggle in the corridors of power at Anfield. Rafael Benitezrecently refused to sign a new contract. The reason: he wants fullcontrol of transfers and wants Parry removed from his position of ChiefExecutive.
From the board's point of view, they have been unhappy withBenitez's tranfer spending since he came in as manager five years ago.In the intervening period, Benitez has spent some £170m but has onlyrecuperated £69m. This is why Parry has become move involved, and theKeane signing was seen as a significant development in his influence.
Since the summer there has been a huge shift in power at Liverpool,and Rafael Benitez has become a massive force at the club. The firstpart in this is Liverpool's current challenge for the title. There havealways been doubters on the Spaniard's ability to challenge at thehighest level despite guiding his team to two Champions League Finalsand including winning the Champions League Trophy in 2005.
One other reason for the rise in Benitez's power has almost gone unnoticed. |
