ive said many times i dont blame the players for the price tags. I am however shocked that we bought carroll for 35 million. I dont give a shiteee about this explaination that the torres deal had anything to do with the price. By spending that money on 1 player we shot ourselves in the foot because clubs can now dictate a price to us knowing we buckle.
No one is blaming the players
I agree 100% - not only does it mean we're out of pocket (by paying massively inflated prices) but it also means we now have a repuatation as a club that will pay whatever it takes to get a player - much like City and Chelsea - which will massively hamper the rest of out transfer plans for the season as clubs who have got players we are interested in will insist on top dollar
I do think though that we did need a striker when Torres left. Hindsight's a wonderful thing but I don't think any of us knew the impact Suarez would have although there must have been a better option than paying £36m for Carroll - although he's an exciting prospect who should form a good partnership with Suarez
It's stll Suarez & Carrol for me - over Torres & Babel
