for me the only signing he got wrong was carroll. but thats just my opinion
I'm yet to be convinced he got even that one "wrong", though I can agree that buying a player of his type for the current Liverpool squad was at the very least a risk even before one adds in the transfer fee. But I do think we shouldn't make the mistake of thinking Carroll was always destined to be a bad buy - Suarez could have struggled last season, and maybe Carroll would then have been allowed to play a game more suited to him. Instead Suarez was astonishingly good, and since then Carroll has had to play catch-up in a fast-paced game of pass and move, where he has shown himself to be slow-witted and unable to either pass or move.
I believe he has the potential, but I do not believe we are taking a path that will not enable him to realize that potential quickly, and I suspect his personal doubts are beginning to get in the way of his training and ultimately his game. The British media as usual are doing a fine job of murdering their darlings...
