Carra

[bossy]

Terrible posts by the boy and French eye glass. Great posts by Dave and Johnny H. Rafa and Jamie both have played their part in our history, wages are completely insane in football anyway, you can't blame Carragher.

Hes not on 90k a week and for most of his career he was well underpaid in comparison to what a lot of his less talented team-mates were on. Hes played more games for the club than anybody else other than callaghan and never given less than 100% in any of them. Im struggling to think of many players who've done more to earn their wages over the years than carragher.

 

If hes being overpaid now, good luck to him as for years he was on less than people like kewell, cheyrou, diouf, aquilani, jovanovic etc

 

That's a fair shout.

 

I think the thing that gets peoples backs up regarding Carra's wages is the circumstances of his contract extension - sanctioned/awarded by Purslow the day before the takeover. From the outside the timing seemed dubious to say the least.

It's curious to discover that contract improvements can impact on a manager's ability to compete in the transfer market now.

 

That seemed to be universally contradicted in 2009, despite several players getting big improvements and the manager also rolling himself a nice big fattie!

So basically, it's alright if it's Carra. Or if it's Rafa.

Johnny, I think you're right, we're to divided, I think the two twats who sold to the two twats broke us in a way that can never be fixed unless we have another momentus moment like a league or european cup win, which is years off!

And that’s the simple truth. Success will bring unity.

 

Look at the Mancs. They are up to their ears in debt, but while they have the evil one in charge, they will continue to challenge for titles and that keeps riff raff quiet. If they go a few years without titles and slip back a bit in the league, then the divides and the arguments and the splits will start.

 

If Brendan Rodgers works out (and I can help but shake this weirdly confident feeling that he will) then we will become unified again. But I also think quite a few fans need to get some serious chips off their shoulders and start acting like they want unity. A few fans on this forum could be the starting point.

[WaltonRed]

Its very tit for tat

 

I jug in on it, I know I do but if we had a truce then you never know, could be a small start

If cared about the future of Liverpool FC he'd offer to take a HUGE paycut for the good of the club.

If he really loved the club then why doesn't he just play for free?

[Faustus]

If he REALLY loved the club, then why doesn't he marry it?

[Jairzinho]

He's been bumming Everton.

If he really loves the club why doesnt he bum it, marry it, then play for free?

Everyone knows once you marry it you never get to play again, except maybe on your birthday if you're lucky.

Ladies and Gentleman, Les Dawson lives!

Because he's lost his place.

Should players who have been brought through the clubs youth system get higher salary that players being bought in on the same level?

Club's need identity, a sense of history and place. With Kenny gone, only Carra and Stevie G offer that. Both legendary servants of the club by any definition of the word.

 

I find it curious the stick that Carra is getting whilst other pocket milions for very little.

Well, that's part of the issue. They do get called on it. Walk into the transfer thread for any of the past three years and you'll read people posturing heroically about how terrible it is that these unworthy players(last year they were termed "the shite", sometimes it's just "the dross") are earning so much and how we've got to do something etc. Well, for the past two years, it doesn't appear that Carragher's wages have been in line with his current contribution to the team. Assuming people are genuine when they voice their concerns, then that should be an issue.

Sorry, where exactly have complained about Carra's wage on this thread?

 

I have no problem with him getting a good contract. At the time it was awarded to him he was a key player and had been for a while.

 

As you said - even if you've got a problem with his contract (which I don't, though I think he should be sold now in order to look to the future), its not his fault the club offered him it.

Correct. Just one of many players to have taken advantage whilst the club has been in its greatest state of disarray. On the hook for £9 million to Cole and Carragher this season. I bet its enough to make Henry's stomach turn.

Harry Kewell just laughed so hard that he tore an abductor muscle, he will be out for the rest of this thread.

No, they should get the same. Otherwise, why have a youth system with tons of money invested in it...

[Antynwa]

If he loves the club that much why doesn't he just pay the club to play?
