Dinho lad Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Shevchenko, like Torres did not fit Chelsea's style at all, imo. He also joined at a time where there was no incentive to change the style for him as Drogba was one of the world's best strikers and Chelsea were probably one of the top 3-4 teams on the planet. Actually, Drogba wasn't one of the world's best strikers when Sheva joined. He was expected to be completely marginalised by Sheva's arrival, but he scored a superb goal away to Blackburn after coming off the bench early in the season and basically went on to have the season of his life when Jose rewarded him with a start in the next game, emerging as the great player everyone knows and loves - at the one-paced Sheva's expense.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It's Good Friday today and thoughts turn to a bloke with long hair, who will always be remembered for dying on the end of a cross..... Happy Easter Andy Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 When you spend 35 million on a player after watching his performances and knowing what type of service he was getting from us it would be logical to play wingers on a regular basis to feed him ,Dogleish should be sacked for his shameful waste of a talent that has been neglected .

Stifler Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 this summers transfer saga for us methinks rightly or wrongly http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Liverpool-transfer-gossip-Andy-Carroll-set-for-cut-price-summer-exit-article888084.html We won't have him back, the fans won't have him back, no deal. If he's available for a cut price then I can see Stoke gaining an interest in him, also Fulham who will surely lose Dempsey, then theirs Norwich who will lose Holt. The big question for those clubs though is can they afford to pay his wages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think he's a burden on Liverpool and they'll rightly look to move him on this summer. We'll go nowhere near though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 If West Ham get promoted (hope not btw), then I can see them going in for Carroll. He would fit Allardyce's style of play/tactics plus Carroll would be reunited with Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 We've got defensive signings to make first, expect a LB and a cb in before any talk of an expensive third striker. I do think it's inevitable he'll end up back here, it's the only place for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it's inevitable he'll end up back here, it's the only place for him. Why? The club has moved on, we no longer play the way needed for Carroll to be provided with the type of balls Carroll plays off. We have 2 very good forwards. His wages will be a problem for us, he hasn't played well for 18 months and no doubt we have a hungry young cheap unknown striker/forward on the radar from some small European town.
