I think he should be fourth choice, with a view to integrating him into the coaching staff. Having said that, if Carra is serious about coaching or management in the future, it may be beneficial for him to go abroad or to a smaller club, to see how they work and broaden his knowledge. If I recall correctly, Pep Guardiola went to Brescia in a similar guise? Not necessarily as a player. He's been a legend and great servant to the club, but it's difficult to argue that he is still a capable centre-back playing at the level that we need of him. He had good games last season, but those were unfortunately forgotten amongst some very visible and memorable mistakes. For a lad of my age-along with Gerrard and Rafa- Carra is one of the first legends I experienced first hand at the club, and he should go down as one of the Liverpool greats. My abiding memories of him all come from a single season, a single competition. Who will forget his epic performance at home to Chelsea, launching himself in front of shots. Or the way he recovered from cramp in Istanbul to keep fighting on. It's tempting to give in to the dissent and grumbling with Carra, given that he may have outlived one facet of his usefulness. But we should keep him around. It's good for the young CBs, and it'll help him (working under a young but experienced Rodgers) to see what necessary if he's to follow that path. I just hope, that when the time comes, he realises that he's not quite at the level Liverpool require of him, or he expects from himself.
