KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Carroll is out of here

And i think of all the players that Kenny overspent on that Carroll is the best prospect we have and with a full preseason behind him and having gotten over the baggage attached to such a transfer fee we'll have a better understanding of what Carroll can do for us this year.

regardless of the money spent I LOVE THE MAN

Not the first time and it wont be the last, for as long as it is on here. He makes things up out of thin air and seems to get something totally different and negative out of just about everything. When common sense tells you, it meant nothing of the sort.

It sounds like WeLoveTheKop.

Carroll is not an ideal player for the philosophy of Rodgers. He wouldn't be a player for Barca either, as proven by Ibrahimovic. Those old fashioned strikers don't work in this modern system. While I think he started to come good towards the end of the season, he is a player that relies on service and crosses into the box. On the odd occasion he will spark into life on his own, as seen in the FA Cup final.

But we just wont be playing the football he specifically needs to thrive on and off. We barely played for him under Kenny, he didn't get the same supply as at Newcastle.....he wont be getting it under Rodgers!

The team will play as a team, keeping it on the deck and accurate, I cant see us humping the ball up-to him every attack, it defies the objective and gives away possession to easily.

While I think Rodgers was honest (and Milan probably haven't made a move YET) I got from the interview, that he is leaving the door open for an AC Milan to come knocking on the door to take the player. Rodgers aint stupid, he knows he can reclaim some of that fee paid for a player that wont fit into his system. Secondly, he knows for an absolute fact, that if Milan come knocking, they have a certain Mr Pato that would fit way more into his system, a player they already tried offloading.

It could be a clever bit of business.

I don't think it would be a loan for a player like that. He cost to much money for Rodgers to consider sending him out on loan. I said what I said because I honestly feel the door is being left open, almost to invite clubs to make an offer. For instance, look how Rodgers squashed the Suarez rumors. A totally different vibe with Suarez.

"I've spoken to him, he's a wonderful talent, he will be here next season" etc etc etc

Did anybody get that same vibe asking about Carroll today?

"Lots" of clubs would be interested in a player like that WHETHER HE IS HERE OR NOT????"

Didn't strike me with any confidence and when I look at the bigger picture, I don't think a 6'4 old fashioned striker is going to fit into his plans. But somebody like a Pato would, so why would you not encourage AC Milan to come in?

+1. I wouldn't loan a player to any Italian club again in a million years after the last 2 seasons with Aquilani. Using b*stards.

Carroll is a top player. I think we need to keep him, but if we're offered silly money, then we need to think about it.

exactly. that quote means he is certain to leave. I knew rogers wouldn't fancy carroll and i don't myself. he never looked right in red.also if you watch the BR's reaction and face when asked if milan had contacted I think it is clear he lied about it, its like he heard nothing but someone else did.

I like andy but wouldnt mind a player swap or a good transfer fee

If Carroll were to leave and Huntelaar were to join.

I think we could win the league! No Joke!

If all goes well this could be the final piece to the puzzle.

Hunterlaar = GOAL's that's all that matters.

There is no way he will go out on loan.

Swansea played over 25 games with a 'big man' up top last season, this idea that he wouldn't fit with rodgers is a myth that is perpetuated by people who like to talk like they know what BR is like without doing any kind of research.

It's clear that should a good offer come in for him, Andy will be on his way out of the door otherwise BR would have said "he is going no where" like he has with a couple of other players. It is obvious that he isn't a definite keeper. What a 'good offer' is I don't know, for me it would be 20 million +, id bite hands their hand off at that. But there aren't many teams rich or stupid enough to pay that at the moment.
