Ged, we already are! The sooner he goes, the better - for his sake and ours. No matter what he does, (unless he starts scoring 30 goals a season!), that £35m price tag is a big problem. It means that expectation and pressure is immense for him. And it means we have to get much more money than he's worth for him in order to push through a sale which will save some kind of face. The saga needs to end sooner rather than later.


I disagree.. he's finally displaying the form/ability we paid over the odds for and now we want to get rid? I'd like to see him given another season to prove he can fit into Brendan Rogers' system. At the end of the day, if he fails to do that then I'll hold my hands up and admit that he should be moved on but it's not like his age is against him, he's still a young lad.

I'd snatch their hand off for £10m! 4 goals in 35 games? that makes him worth about £6m at most. We'll get Borini for that £10m who will easily score more than 4 goals. happy days!

Don't know. But I bet you a sack of cash that if we calculate his goals per minute ratio it's still pretty poor.

so you in fact you 4 goals in 35 games is in fact misleading

because you don't know who many of them 35 games he actually played serious minutes in

i bet some of them games he had about 4 minutes play

Stats for strikers at the top 7 clubs on 2011:

Our friend Mr Carroll has the worst conversion rate and very nearly the lowest score in goals per minutes played. Are people wanting to keep him out of pity? Because for footballing reasons, retaining him makes no sense whatsoever.

But if the price isn't right is it worth getting rid of him? I'd say take 15mil for him, but no less. He could be better this season, and to be fair on him, he did show signs of progression later in the season.

What would his stats for the last 10 games hes played in be? These are the important ones as they are the ones he showed good form and energy.

just shows you stats can show what people want them to show

you wouldn't say the way drogba played in the champions league cup final that he was a waste
