The problem is you see is that it matters not so much in the fee paid for carrol,thats not his doing,it is in the assumption that he was good enough in the first place.if hed of been say 15m his true value based on one season in the championship and 18 games in the premier league plus the fact he was a long term injury candidate then by all means take a punt on him...if hes 100m fine go for it if you think hes worth it..if its evident he isnt ...and its clear hes no 35m player...then rightfuly questions will be asked as to why the manager blew 35m on a player who alot of fans would not want in their team in the first place.then add 20m for untried unproven unheard of henderson and 20m for downing that has spent his best years showing how mediocre he is..and i see people saying mierless at 28 is past it,helloooo downing is 28.and then 8m for adam to become the heartbeat of lfc..and is it any wonder you get myself and others questioning the logic of them 4 irespective of how much they cost but the fact they werent cheap just adds to it.
kenny is known for a few madcap signings among his good buys.carter speedie being some from his last tenure plus too many to mention jn his time at newcastle and celtic. I wonder if kenny bought carrol on the advice of his friend alan shearer.


two you like your numbers dont you why dont you go back about 16 months ago and have a look at the money we had to spend and even better it wasnt that long ago we were in a court room fighting to stay alive as a football team so stop comparing players to money because at the end of the day when they score a goal people like yourself will be the first to say i told ya he would be good.

I have to say Andy Carroll was quiet a bit over priced, but I'm still going to back him while he's in a red shirt. And I'm fine with the money paid for the summer signings, we paid that much for them because we wanted to sort out or business early, so the team could gel. And downing is 27 and a different player to Meireles, so can't be compared properly. Hendo is also not unproven or unheard of otherwise we wouldn't have known about him, lets be honest he's 21 and already got quiet a few premier league games under his belt. Adam also hasn't been bought to be the heart beat of the team he has been bought to strengthen the team just like every other player. It's quiet annoying the way people being so short sighted when we are building a long term team. We need to stop concentrating on the past, what's done is done now we just need to support our team and believe in them.
