I reckon I almost qualify as an ITK.

 

Was at a Liverpool talk in yesterday with Dalglish and Hansen - Dalglish said that the deal for Carroll was agreed on Sunday night.  Apparently we then upped the price on Monday after we saw all the press on it and on Torres.  So Liverpool upped their price for Torres from Chelsea.

LFC's owner has already confirmed the deal was done 24 hours before Ashley 'accepted' Carrolls request and reluctantly accepted LFC's bid. LFC's owner knew the price Chelsea would need to pay for Torres would be £15m more than NUFC wanted for Carroll so they could balance the books with the £6m they made off the other centre forward  they sold (who's name escapes me) Carroll and the bloke from Holland for torres.

I have just looked on getty images - Carroll is running and kicking a ball in traininmg today - I think he will be back soon - so much for him being out for the rest of the season

Since Carroll arrived at Anfield, he has been stunned by how hard he is being made to work in trying to recover from a thigh injury that is expected to leave him on the sidelines for another two to three weeks.

 

It starts with sessions at the sports science department on the adverse affects alcohol can have on an athlete; the fact it makes players more prone to injury and can hamper performance, even when consumed days before a game.

 

Good luck with that, presumably they'll have someone following him 24/7 to keep him away from bars, nightclubs and women

Sorry if I bumped this thread up again!  :pow:

 

I think Carroll is obviously important to us but in terms of our play he limits us to the long ball tactic more often than not, and in that sense he hinders our play. I think with him out we can now focus on playing our football on the ground (like the past few matches). Past couple of matches will have proved that we have enough in the tank to stay up. I think this summer will be very very important to us and I hope we bring in the right players and build on from this season.

Obligatory 'oh it's so much better at a proper club, I did make the right decision honest' press release etc.

Im sure this has come up, so apologies if it has.

 

How good does AC need to be over the next, say....6 years, to justify his price?

Look at guys like David Villa who have done it for a long time. AC was more expensive than him.

 

How many goals would consider it good business?

How many goals would consider him a flop?

 

I say 15 a season for next 6-10 seasons would be the PAR. Above is success, below is failure.

 

Thoughts?

Doesn't matter. Liverpool fans will never publicly say he flopped, and even if he does, they'll only counter it with 'IT WASN'T OUR MONEY!"

if they win the league or CL when he's a regular in their team it's a success - that's how success is judged these days, not what the individual does imo
