KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Andy Caroll on his way to West Ham

i reeeally didn't think carroll was going to go this window. guess i was wrong! you never know for sure what's going to happen in football on OR off the pitch. i am glad it's west ham, though. i think he will shine there.

was always on the cards.and i always felt big sam would be the one getting him

it was, it was. i didn't want him to go but to be honest, part of me is just relieved that it's all over. rodgers had said before that he would not sell carroll because he has to have 3 strikers. i know we just signed samed, but we signed him for only 1 mill and he is very young. i have a feeling that rodgers already has carroll's replacement lined up and we just don't know yet.

after tonite I feel more strongly Carroll should of stayed, we played are nice pretty passing football but it served us no good, what we needed was a plan B something different and this is where I feel we needed something a bit different and Andy is certainly that, there will be plenty more times this season when this pretty passing wont work and this is where we need to try a different approach.

talk of sturridge or dempsey are they the goalscorer we need ?

I think Dempsey could be and would be more suited to a plan b if needed.

would like Sturridge and Hunterlaar, we could then play a front three of those two and Sterling, if not Sturridge then am Sure Dempsey would make a decent alternative.

Won't bite at that one

whats there to bite at, there is goals in that forward three and with Sterling you have natural width, its a no brainer.

Right
