That wouldn't really work out in the real world tho.. His actual answer is a pretty standard answer, who i wouldn't lay too much thought in to. Also the reporter is very clearly trying to drag answers like that out of him - almost putting words in Carroll's mouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 "Liverpool delighted their fans but stunned the footballing world when the club signed Carroll for the huge sum this week."....... I am one of that rare breed of Liverpool fan, one who is actually born and bred in Liverpool, and I have to say I know A LOT of other born and bred Liverpool fans who like me were NOT delighted by the fact that the club spent £35 million on Carroll" He's gonna have to hit the ground running to please that lot.

Afraid so. Shearer had played 3 seasons by then though in the top league. Carroll 6. What point is that supposed to be making and how is it true? You can hardly count the first involvements of either player as a "season in the top league" but anyway by that measure it's more like Shearer 5 and Carroll 4. 5 each as members of the first team. Similarities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both great CF's, but with Shearer you knew 100% what you were getting and that included a mental strength and maturity way beyond his years, a perfect professional who would only ever be on the back pages not the front.

Leazes1986 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 He will end up being loved by them but he might struggle at first. I don't expect him to return to the outstanding form he shown for us this season when he first returns from injury and if he is rusty for a few weeks they might start to wonder what they've bought, but I've no doubt he'll be top class for them.

He could have said something along the lines of, "I was surprised when the bid was accepted, but now I'm here I'm delighted obviously". But because it was his decision in the end, that would be lying now, wouldn't it. Fact is he is saying fair enough things, unless of course you still think like yourself that he had no choice in his departure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 My issue isn't with Carroll's comments on Liverpool's website. Of course he's going to say that. What's wrong is that he's contradicted himself by coming out in the Chronicle yesterday and saying completely the opposite. You can't appease all sides.

Cronky Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It's been a good week for Liverpool, because they've traded in a striker who didn't want to play and who wasn't making any effort, and got two decent strikers in his place. They're far better off, for an outlay of about £7 million. Whether in any other set of circumstances, AC is worth £35 million is very doubtful. Basically, we've been able to take advantage of Abramovich's last throw of the financial dice before the fair play rules kick in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said yesterday Carroll had tried to use the fans as a pawn in all of this, and that is absolutely disgusting in all of this from the hatred from the fans towards Ashley. I would rather he just admitted he tried to extract more money from the club from the situation, but he won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
