[Fierce]

Can you see the Kop singing the lyrics 'hands touching hands' ?

These days, definitely. Camp as Christmas our songs these days - look at Maxi's song and Lucas's song, this would fit in fine with those two. Definitely some repressed homosexuals in the standing block in my opinion - would be better for all concerned if they just came out, embraced it, and we could go back to having more credible songs for our players...

In my opinion by the way, Carroll is a great signing. In some ways similar to the Collymore signing. He's got the lot - pace, power, great shot with both feet, can lead the line, can score with his head, can tough it out when he needs to. The only doubt about him is mentally, in that he gets into trouble off the pitch. If kenny can sort his head out, I'm convinced we've got a class class player. Very happy that he's with us, hope he fulfils his promise with us.

An interesting take on the two deals.

Carroll to LFC will cost a total of £55.02m (taking the reported wage of £70,000 pw)
Torres to CFC will cost a total of £97.32m (taking the reported wage of £175,000 pw)

Thats almost half the cost. Torres being a 27 year old (as of next month) with a dubious recent injury record. I would say he will struggle to see out that contract at the any consistant level. Carroll just turned 22 yrs with real potential and a definite raw talent.

It is a huge gamble for both clubs but at least our gamble will allow some re-sale value should he not reach the heights his potential suggests.

did the same sums myself.

whack on estimated resale value at the end of their current contracts with carroll at 27/28 and torres at 32 and the picture looks far, far better for us.

Should be just the chorus with the original lyrics, with the 9 in there obviously. Back to the days of the kop singing real songs.

Press conf today to show off according to news.

PC is going on now. Apparently Carroll said he doesnt want to talk about Newcastle, because he is a Liverpool player

[Alex]

Now Dalglish is laying into the media for being negative about Carroll He knows how to work a room of hacks eh

I enjoyed Stan Collymore (yeah I know) referring to Carroll last night as a "one man wrecking machine"
