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

thing about andy he was a panic buy by dalglish cost far to much and has hardly played so may be a move is the answer ?

He is not a Rodgers player, so if he goes it would not surprise me in the slightest. Not that I agree with it, I don't think he ever was given a proper crack and managed at the level he needs to be.

I really got behind him last season when others were ripping him a new one. He started to really come on towards the end of the season, his work rate was top notch and he was bringing other team mates in to. Such a shame if the club decide to get rid, but at this moment in time it looks inevitable providing the price is right for both clubs.

We wont be getting £35 million, but I think Rodgers would be happy with £15-20mill, and then to be given that to go out and get a Rodgers striker.

It's plastered in the papers tomorrow anyway. I honestly believe he has been available for a while, the papers are jumping on ship after yesterdays press conference.

now is not the time to sell, if he goes now we'll get no more than £15M for him and he could still become a top quality player and england regular by the time he's 28. if he starts this season as well as he ended the last he'd be a big asset to us imo and can only improve.

italian clubs will never part with that kind of money. has to be the most farfetched rumour I've heard all summer. whats next? jordan henderson to score against roma in pre season and barcelona coming in with a £25m bid?

get real

i like big andy but dalglish didnt play him much even when he was playing well , maybe brendan just wants something else ?

He wants someone with more mobility and not so one dimensional. I understand that 110%.

ESPECIALLY in a 4-3-3 Barca-esk formation. You need movement from your forwards, interchanging positions constantly, clever runs, short passes, 1-2s. This just isn't Andy Carroll unfortunately!

I know Rodgers would prefer someone a lot smaller, to play with Suarez and Borini.

Football has moved on now for some clubs. Carroll could go elsewhere and be a revelation, because the team will play for him solely. But it just aint gonna happen with a manager like Rodgers.

Rubarb rubarb rubarb....

well i trust Rodgers knows best

Why is Carroll not a BR type of player?

Swansea played one central striker last year in Danny Graham who is a big lad who can hold the ball up, they had 2 players wide of him in Sinclair and Dyer.

They played a 4-3-3 system but never did Graham move far from the 18 yard box when Swansea had the ball...

It's all very well and good saying we need a fluid system and Carroll won't work but unless u have a Messi or Ronaldo then the system needs to have a big guy in the middle and Suarez and some other flair player either side!!!

I would like to see Carroll work under Rodgers for a season to see if he can make a player...a fully committed player both on and off the pitch out of him, however looking at Rodgers reported comments I think he may have already made up his mind that Carroll just doesn't have what he wants in a player. If so what a waste of a golden opportunity by Carroll.

If Rodgers is to bin Carroll without giving him a chance then I don't think you can blame the player!

I think he is worth a go as the central striker of a front 3 with Suarez and someone else wide of him.....
