JH Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 So they just happened to pick the services of an untraceable agent, who has ties to the guy who wants to sign Andy Carroll but can't because of his current agent contract? Wow, welcome to dodgy city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm not confident about my understanding of it all, but I think the veiled accusation in those articles is as follows - Harrison, Carroll's contracted agent, somehow got muscled out of the deal by Bromley and Curtis, who seem to be partners in a company. However, to make it look above board, Carroll officially represented himself, with Bromley representing Liverpool, and taking the agent's cut in that way. If a player sacks an agent, it looks like they can't be represented by anyone else for a certain period. It looks like Curtis was around and had some contact with Carroll when the deal got done, but not in any official capacity. They also get round the rule about an agent not being allowed to represent both a club and a player during a deal. Harrison is taking the whole thing to arbitration, and may be the source of this story. It would presumably be in his interests to create as big a stink as possible. Allegedly.

I don't know about that. Bruce has a fixation with us as can be seen by the signing of N'Zogbia and chasing our targets like Kilgallon and Larsson.

JH Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Anyone have a link to a thread on a Liverpool forum about Carroll? I just want to see what the murderers think of him so far. Here's a few What I don't understand is we spent 25 million on Suarez, every inch the Liverpool player, a bundle of energy with electric feet. Then we go and spend £35 million on Carroll, the very antithesis of Suarez, a big, lumbering striker who depends on long ball and crosses into the box. Exactly what kind of team is Kenny trying to build, its most confusing. Carroll - Lumbering. Limited. Missed a few headers was about all. Also (though not his fault) tempted the entire team to hoof shit balls straight at him. Because he cost £35m some people will clearly believe he has got hidden depths. I'm beginning to suspect if we had paid £3.5m a lot of people would be a lot less charitable than they have been. Seriously, did it really matter about another striker until the summer? We was going nowhere anyway, I would much rather of waited until the season finished and used to £50m plus what ever the owners was giving. We could of got anyone for that, bar Messi, Ronaldo etc. Carroll did ok tonight; but whats the point in buying the best header of the ball in the world if you don't have anyone who can ******* service him? and not Carroll related, but it chuckled me: Will seriously miss Europe next season, but thank goodness we are Liverpool Football Club, and that we can attract players without having CL to offer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
