Yorkie Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm not in the business of championing our transfer policy - ins or outs - but I've not seen sufficient evidence to conclude that he was forced into handing in a transfer request. He and the club both chased the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm not in the business of championing our transfer policy - ins or outs - but I've not seen sufficient evidence to conclude that he was forced into handing in a transfer request. He and the club both chased the money. He's said that he was. Lambias has also been quoted as telling the story in a completely different way as to what was presented at the time. Then there's the way that Barton and Santon's transfers have been revealed. Sure there are others that don't come to mind at the moment. I think Carroll was either naive or talked into it, but I don't believe for a second that it was him pushing for a move, not now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The truth is definitely somewhere in between. Of course he wanted the money/prestige. But the club isn't blameless either. Both parties are to "blame" in this situation. It was a situation that benefited everyone involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He wanted to leave and the club were happy to cash in on him for such a mental fee. I just find the notion that poor Andy was forced into signing that 90 grand a week contract at Liverpool utterly ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Carroll was told they wanted the money far more than him. I'd have left, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Can remember them Llambias quotes, "Liverpool were late with a payment, and Moik charged 'em £xk fackin' interest!" like it was something for us to hang our hat on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I bet they had a right laugh at that. £35m for an injured striker out of form and they were charged interest on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah, he wasn't out of form at all although I'm sure we'll soon hear otherwise. Biggest example of a 12 month purple patch turning into a huge transfer that there is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah, he wasn't out of form at all although I'm sure we'll soon hear otherwise. Biggest example of a 12 month purple patch turning into a huge transfer that there is. At the time the fee was about right. He was an unstoppable force leaving on deadline day with a huge premium. Take away his injuries and he'd be one of the best goal scorers in the league. However in hindsight he's a wreck, did we see that coming? No idea, if we did then we kudos, if not we got very lucky. Both the club and the player took the best offer going, tbh it left me heart broken either would act like that. That transfer was probably the beginning of the end of my time as a real supporter of the club. It broke me, more so than Cole to manure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Wasn't he injured when he signed, not out of form ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I honestly don't believe even without the injuries that the way he was playing was sustainable. There has many strikers who have had a good 20 or so games then fallen off the face of the planet. I don't think there's anything to suggest he would have been one of the best goalscorers in the league, hell during that period he had 10 in 19 not exactly amazing. There was many other things that stood out. That's not say that I think he would basically been another Michu or whatever, far from it actually but that level of general performance would have dropped quite a bit in my view even if he'd still played at a very high level.

On the other hand he only had 6 months premier league experience iirc and was a bit of a toad off the field. I would have thought 20 would be a fair value.

Ronaldo Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Out of form? He was excellent in that first half season back. He was never 'in form' as a Liverpool player. Which is pretty obviously when payment was missed. People on here can be fucking dense at times, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
