So the only argument that stands up is about resale value at the end of the contract - basically this is assuming Carroll will be worth something like what Torres is now when he's 26/27

Amazing. The economics of this looks like madness, but you have to salute the owners who've backed the club to an extent we could only have imagined.

Great day!

We've signed Suarez as well.

Fuck me people like you are a nightmare.
We have not signed Suarez just yet. Nor Carroll. Give it some time.

People really can't compare Carroll's £35mil signing to David Villa's £34mill signing, anyone who does is an idiot!

Spain do not have the same League Restrictions as we do over here, plus Caroll is 22, Villa is 29, that is 7 more seasons of potential playability to cover for.

Plus Carroll had a long term contract....

Don't listen to the Mancs, that statement of Villa is their words coming out of OUR mouth!

With close to tearful regret I have to agree Neil. I can't overstate how gutted I am that he could swan off down there to them.
Anyway, we have young fresh blood that wants to be with us - that's the most important factor of all.

True and true. History will pass Torres by. And in 20 years time when Alonso, Pepe, Arbeloa, and Luis Garcia are invited back to New Anfield for big games and big celebrations he'll still be out on his arse. A real nowhere man.

I know it hurt me too, I believed in him, but Yorky is spot on, Torres is yesterday's man. Soon he won't even be that.

Meanwhile, at Anfield, we'll win a corner. The Kop will find it's voice:

"LIVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRPPPPPPPOOOOOOOLLLLLL, LIVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL"

Adam + Carroll = GOAL

Where the fuck is Turan? Or we bringing him in the summer? What about Kjaer? There's a list of players we could improve the team with far far above the likes of Andy Carroll. And you can lump in Charlie fucking Adam as well, when we have Shelvey already.

They are fucking insane, and by they I stress, I am talking about Comolli and his flavour of the month approach, the same one that under previous custodians lumped us with Hodgson. Henry/Werner have some explaining to do, if they think all it takes is to splash the cash "like a drunken sailor" they are no better than Hicks & Gillett except these actually went and did it.

I understand your sentiments, Arda could have been a great acquisition for around 15m. Let's hope Carroll bangs in the goals, I'm sceptical but let's hope he does the job. Not at all sure about Charlie Adam, we desperately are in need of a top class centre back like Kjaer to play alongside Agger.
Would sacrifice Fordy in a sacred Mayan ritual to have him as the next Liverpool manager

He's a thug and I'm gutted.  We surely have more class than having Carroll in our team.  I'm unhappy with how Torres handled his transfer, but the lad has class and dignity, even if he's lost our respect.

Carroll............. in a Liverpool shirt...........sad day.
This. I actually feel sick at the thought. Unbelievable that we were offering a club record £35m-plus for a striker and there I was, not alone clearly, praying for it to fall through. There's still the medical though. Come on Peter Brukner, please god save us from ourselves...

I fucking despair, all those years when we dreamed of spending £30-35m on Dabeed Beeya. And look at us now.

New owners, same idiotic decisions.

He's 28 and only wanted to go to one club.  Totally irrelevant comparison.

I am saying that we are paying the same for Caroll (possibly more) than Barca paid for Villa. How is that not crazy? Yes, hes young and english, but the reality is he has huge potential, is in his first season in the premiership, scored 11 goals. Villa, although expressing an interest in the club went for a realistic figure on his worth due to his outstanding record.

I hope Caroll becomes a kop hero, i really do.

Everyone has an opinion!

35m?? Might has well just added 10m and activated Agueros release clause. Go big or go home.

Fantastic player, huge transfer fee. Huge risk.

In a way, I fucking love it. We're actually in the thick of the transfer market bidding for very much-wanted players, rather than spunking it on the likes of Poulsen and Konchesky.

-.- You just made me depressed. If spending silly money is on the cards... as you said, go big or go home!

Really can't believe some of the people in this forum. We've (supposedly) been wanting Liverpool to start showing some serious statements of intent regarding the club and transfers after signing Torres. Until this window its always been lackluster looking for bargain buys. The new owners are now showing us that they mean business and most of you are whining about it. Boggles the mind.

Rossi mate, do you not think you're a tad too consumed with certain individuals? I get the sense that you wouldn't be happy with any winger. It has to be Arda. Same at centreback - it has to be Kjaer for you to be happy. And up front it would have to be Aguero or Villa.

Villa signed for Barca - get over it
We could buy a squashed hedgehog,put him in a dress,a little makeup ,explode him with 200 pounds of C4 then scoop the bits up,put him into a pie,cook him for 45 minutes,let it cool and put it on the halfway line and he'd be a great replacement for Cole.

David Villa is 29 and on huge wages compared to Carroll (who's on about £25k a week at Newcastle)

yeh true he'll be on a lot less but still a hell of a lot of money to pay, but jan transfer madness i guess thanks to torres
We will rise again...
