Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Neil Young]

Is that a fact?

[Alex]

I think so.

This need to make a statement of intent seems to me to be newspaper talk. There was no need to splash the cash. And if as you say they did so in a panic that raises serious doubts about the owners.

English or not £35m was not the relevant price for Carroll. £15m or £20m tops. Even allowing for all the factors you mention.


As for other posts that he might turn out to be fantastic and worth it. There are no signs of that whatsoever. He just doesn't even look like a footballer.

And as for fulfilling his potential so that it might seem worth it or a bargain (as some others in this thread have said). Christ how good would he have to turn out to be. £35m is top whack for an world class player. Does anyone honestly believe this guy will turn out as good as Ronaldo or Zidane? That is truly clutching at straws.

We go rudely ill-used in relation to this. And it has inflated every transfer fee we have paid since.

I will not get involved in pointless discussion here but it is interesting how your views changed..

If Kenny says Andy Carroll is worth £30m then who are we to argue.

How many thought he was nuts when he paid a record £3.3m for Alan Shearer from Soton?

Exactly.....

I don't understand why a manc pretends to be a liverpool fan across numerous liverpool forums. I've noticed you're a lot less obvious on here, sussed to quick before were you?

No need to dig yourself any deeper.

Nope simple truth. My opinion is the same now as then. Carroll is the worst transfer in our history if not the history of the Premier League. And KD is not the right man for the job hence my sarcastic comments

Let's just say that your post didn't appear to be very tongue in cheek. The Shearer stuff in particular.
