KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Carroll wanted by Milan

Benitez rated him, juventus rated him enough to put him in their first team, and the same goes for milan. I certainly put their judgement above the likes of dalglish and hodgson.

Why didn't they try to sign him for a knockdown price then?

that's a fair point

They'll be looking to cash in on Zlatan - the guy's 30 and on massive wages no doubt... they could sell him on for a decent price and replace him with Carroll with the change - younger, cheaper, has the ability to play that role for them - like for like, so to speak.

Did I just compare Carroll to Zlatan???

I'm telling ya kids, that's what they're up to..

What was the price anyway???

Never clicked the link - never click that link!

We don't 'know' that they didn't try. There are various rumours about the purchase price and appearance clauses but none of us are actually privvy to any of the discussions that ay have taken place. Your viewpoint seems to be constructed by which tabloid you choose to believe - which fine - most people do that.

He's good value that kid - no one really seems to bite, must be well gutted.

Should probably spend more time on teamtalk, people never fail for a good wind up on there - he'd have the time of his life!

I've heard it all now. Carroll has virtually no footballing brain or ball skills whatsoever - this combination resulted in him scoring 4 league goals for us last season. FOUR in 35 games!!!!
Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, was the top scorer in Serie A (a league notorious for tight defences) in 2 of the last 4 seasons, and for 2 different clubs. His tally of 29 last season was one of the highest in Serie A for the last 50 years. Just because they both have sh!t hair and are quite tall it doesn't mean they're interchangeable!!!!! ZA is worth at least 10 of andy carroll.

well i thought he had a great end to the season and a good euros

so i look forward to him leading the line next season
