Brendan Rodgers

[Daniel 7]

Carroll hiding behind central defenders at the prong of a three would have been an absolute disaster. You see how much Suarez moves, divide that by 100,000 and you would get somewhere near to Carroll's ability in comparison to what Suarez is providing up there himself.

[RichC]

Too be fair though, a lot of being a football fan is connecting the dots.

True but that's a leap being used to beat him with which isn't right

[el matador]

You're guessing that is what Rodgers did.

I think its fairly obvious as to what happened otherwise the dempsey deal would have been signed seales and delivered.

Rodgers gambled and he lost but he still needs to be backed in january.

No one is going to start him but as an option from the bench.

Based on what, contracts need to be agreed in length & value and of course another team might come in for him which results in not having to up sticks with a young family

You believe Rodgers gambled on nothing more than guess work and stating it as fact

[Mattshark]

No one is going to start him but as an option from the bench.

And he is likely to be equally useless off the bench.

So letting go of carroll while we hadnt agreed a deal with dempsey wasnt a gamble.

Seems pretty risky to me.

Right but he might have scored five also.

You dont know do you.

Statistical analysis would back the notion of his gashness

[yamiedo]

Also a whole season of utter gashness would back his gashness

[BobTheCharmer]

We'd be no better positioned in the league if Andy Carroll was still here, that's the bottom line.

You may just be right since the current team creates **** all.

Yes and im sure theres stats out there showing carrolls valuable contributions too.

[Mattshark]

I don't think there is you know.

I think we create quite a lot of chances to be honest. Just don't put them away unfortunately. Doubt Andy Carroll would have made any difference to that.

[el matador]

I agree were **** but if fsg dont back their man in the transfer window we wont finish top half this season.

Thats progress isnt it.
