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

Was it Kenny or Comollli?

Kenny wanted him Comolli got him, Kenny had been scouting Carroll for 18 months for Liverpool according to Alan Shearer.

My mate watches all the prem games (not just LFC) and he watched Carroll last season for Newcastle. I can confirm my mate knows what he is talking about football wise and he reckons he is the business and is coming back from injury and next season we will be raving. As for myself I am not sure he just looks a decent player and thats it. But then I don't watch all the games so I don't know do i?

I thought Rafa should have tried to sign him a couple of seasons ago,have always liked him as a player.

I suppose we're used to watching gerrard and tores together it's difficult to see carroll and suarez in the same light .... I wasn't judging him on the spurs game .... maybe he is a bit unfit, but i've been disappointed by his touch ... he could be overweight .... seems really cumbersome.

i wanted us to sign him n the summer i only saw a few games when he was in the championship but i just thought he was one scary crazy geordie who would scare defenders

Was Carroll a waste of money? well i'm going to answer that by telling people to rewatch the game against man city as i think everyone has short memories and are judging him by his game against spurs. I will judge him at the end of next season not after only a couple of games....

Not everyone m8, just a bigtit

If we are judging Carroll especially on his performance against spurs then we might aswell say king kenny was a waste of money as he picked the side that lost. Carroll isn't fit and is finding his feet at the club, sometimes it takes time, Henry for arsenal was rubbish in his first season then we all know what happened after that. Some players like fowler, owen, torres suarez make an impact straight away, others take a season to get going. Like Kenny said, we signed him on a 5 year contract so we are in no hurry to get the lad fit again and free from injury.

I can add Commoli said that Carroll was our number one target this summer before Judas-gate, so my questions are did we plan on selling Torres this summer anyway, or were we planning on spending 35mil to add Carroll to a Suarez and Torres frontline.

If the latter imagine what this summer holds for the new striker we'll get in addition to the other players.
