KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Was Carroll the biggest waste of money???

I hope not. I hope he can fulfill the potential he showed at newcastle, but if we have to resort to hoofing it up the pitch it will be a major step back for the club .... I can't see Dalglish going in for that style of football and i can see conflict between dalglish and Comolli and possibly FSG over the whole carroll issue next.

Bet you werent saying that after the Man City game.

Unfortunately your the new breed of footballer supporter who's opinion can be heard because of the internet. Years ago we got to laugh in your face rather tahn remotely through a forum. keep it up though you are mildly entertaining to a degree.

we just need to get the balance right if we dont then carroll will become a rich man peter crouch sitting on the bench we just need the balance which means 3 up top or great old fashioned wingers

Laughing in people's faces - another symptom of your low self-esteem .... you sad little - and I stress - very unfunny man/boy??

Me personaly I believe Carroll isn't worth 35mil but the potential of having a player of his qualitys avialable off the bench or in the starting 11 when the team is complete then he has the potential to be 35mil player.

What I mean is imagine a team with wingers another 20 mil striker, a play balling midfileder like raul and stevie. and a solid defence, then having the ability to switch our style of play when there are onyl 10 mins remaining in a drawing game after trying everything and nothing has worked, or to get physical to play against stoke.

Basically imagine Berbatov for the Manc's is what Carroll can be for us. Doesn't get an automatic starting place in the starting 11 but can influence a game from the subs bench.

I see your point desh but then we probably need another big name striker and hence need to buy. Unless we go with Kuyt but good as he is I would not want to rely on him as main front man re title tilt etc.

Was this the biggest waste of a thread??

It's a lot to play for a squad player - with two wingers we will see whether he's worth that kind of money or not. Can Suarez play as an orthodox winger - he seems to like to come right in from the wings and not cross it at thr first opportunity - as I posted eslwehere are we not really overloaded in midfield with the wrong kind of players?

I think carrol has done pretty much what I had expected ie good in certain games. I think that his style of play poses a problem for the way liverpool play at the moment. The thread title is a bit weighted against him however. You could say suarez is worth 40 million for example then we only effectively paid 10 million for suarez. The january window was crazy thanks to traitorres its not any ones fault least of all carols. IF he is to start in every game (and i dont think he should neceassarily start every game if we get another top striker who can play a bit) then that would require a 4 3 3, at the moment we seem to be doing better with 44 2 but depends on the team. In europe he could be a handful assuming we ever get into europe this year

Sorry stupid question, he hasn't had enough games to even warrant any thoughts if he would be success or not. Kenny wanted him so that's good enough for me.
