Carroll was an expensive signing but is young and has time to improve, will he ever be worth 35 million or more who knows
but the potential to improve and thus be able to make a profit if we chose to sell(in the future) is still a possibility.
please don't look so short term in your thinking.

Comolli generally has a policy of buying young players with resale value but I think the Carroll price was a result of the Torres sale

fair point but I think that Comolli must be afforded respect because Bale Modric, Huddlestone were good young signings.So I think Carroll might have been bought in time regardless of Torres staying or not, you need at least 4 good strikers with different attributes in a squad.

I as referring to the fact we got 50mil,for Torres. If we got 35. Mil for torres we probably would have gone as far as 25 mil for Carroll and would have got him.

So far Comolli and Dalglish have failed miserably in the transfer market and Dalglish as manager must accept ultimate responsibility for this wastefulness

Comolli wanted Carroll when he was at Spurs. I think it was a no brainer to swap a player who was unhappy for a player who was scoring goals. However it was also a no brainer that you don't pay over the odds for a player that cannot play for 4 weeks. I still think Carroll is a good player and will score goals in the right set up but not in a side that attacks on the break and moves the ball as quickly as we look to do.

We don't have a strategy in matches, we let players do their thing. This is why we do not make best use of players like Carroll. Even simple things like playing Downing regularly when Carroll plays to give him the service he thrives on.

Look at the newcastle game when Carroll had a go at G Johnson for not crossing balls intothe box, surely Dalglish, having spent 35mil on a player you would work with the team on a strategy to get the best out of your investment

Ahem...

Ok guys since the last 7 hrs , mirror football has gone mad , they have linked us with 4 players

1. Marko Marin - 18mil
2. Lucas Barrios - even chelsea is after him
3 . Tevez - reportedly city have turned a tevez for carroll offer
4. Ba - ba for carroll may happen in the summer .

I dont know how much of this is true , but i would like to see marko marin at anfield , lucas barrios wont come , i dont want tevez , nor do i want ba ,

Carroll for tevez is just a joke would love tevez on loan till the end of the season imagine suarez tevez bellamy front 3 . Marin would be a great buy ba is a good player but no thanks and barrios would do well in the epl I think be a good signing.
