Carroll's fee was directly relevant to to the fee chelsea paid for nando. If the'd have paid 60 mill we'd have gone to 45 for carroll. His price is irralavent. We swapped one striker for two, all in the same class. It's that bloody simple. If you think slur Alex wasn't waiting in the wings for andy then think again. The owners have put everything on the tin. Read it.
So in this regard, if we sold lets say gerrard for 40 million, and we bought charlie adam for 30 mil that would be okay? As of now, i really feel as if we lost alot of money on andy carroll, He is young, inexperienced, and its gonna take him a while to start scoring regularly for liverpool (maybe even years).
They way i believe our squad should be built is get the best quality there is to offer in the club in each position, and if one of them is injured, we use someone young who has potential but isn't noticed. Kelly for example. Since this year was his break into the first team, he's been exceptionally well and could take over if Glen Johnson was out (if we had a decent left back). We don't need someone like Maxi to take over because he's a decent player or someone like fabio aurelio. We need to pay high and low, barely anyone in the medium.
