it all points to kenny thinking hes a 35m player..and not many others thinking the same.
I'm not sure I agree entirely with that. I think even Kenny knows we overpaid for Carroll, but he had the go-ahead from FSG to spend the surplus from the Torres deal in order to get his man and to make a statement of intent that Liverpool are not a selling club and are very serious about getting back to the top of the league.
It's now up to Kenny to show that whatever he sees in Carroll is not illusion, that he can do it though training and through building a squad that can bring the best out of him.
Carroll scored 11 in 18 EPL appearances for Newcastle, and got his England call-up as a result of such form. People like you seem to think he will never regain it. People like me have watched Kenny Dalglish turn unknowns into super-stars before, so we're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now and see where Liverpool and Carroll are at the end of the season (18 months into his 5 and a half year contract).
I think it's far to early for you to be so dismissive - he may come good or he may not, but continuing to say he is rubbish is only going to help him fail. How about trying to be positive so he can have something to build on? Isn't that our role as "supporters"?
