It hasn't come from nowhere, it has been under consideration for a while. It just seems that things are moving quickly now, which is a good sign. Apparently Keane and Daniel Levy are really close, so I would hope a deal could be done.
You've missed both points I was making. The bit about not seeing any links was in reference to the 'good CV' player. The bit about him sharing an agent went totally over your head.
It isn't Raul and to be honest I haven't seen any paper or online links to the player. The Keane thing is possible though, he shares an agent with Gerrard.
