Johnson Allen Carroll

From the fact that he's only 23, he needs more time and that he played really well towards the end of the season. He played really well in the FA cup semi final and was excellent in the final against Chelsea although he played only 35'. Don't blame him for Kenny's departure. He is a very good player, but he won't show it from the bench. Afterall it's not like the rest of our strikers can't stop scoring or something.

After watching the video of Sahin's iinterview... I can only think of Xabi. Xabi Xabi Xabi... excellent analysis mate. very ellaborative. Philosophies, fortunes and shite. you should write a book or something.

I hope you are right. But are we buying a replacement for Andy if he goes on Friday? I'd love Rodgers to give him a chance and work with him.

So practically we have Dempsey on stand-by and if/when/probably last minute Newcastle make their final offer for Carroll the club will accept it and replace him with Dempsey. It would be very disappointing imo.

I don;t think it would work for us anyway. We've lost the culture of patience with young players. As I said before, if young players don't hit the ground running like Owen or Gerrard, they won't be tolerated for very long from fans and the media etc... Lucas has got some stomach.

That Tom Ince lad doesn't look that bad.

Excellent signing, even for one season. I can't wait to watch him play. What would you do?

This extract reminded of Rafa working under the clowns. Can we get Dzeko on loan?

Mancini says no chance. Let's hope he is right.

20m euros is approx £16m. That's a lot of money for Huntelaar. Dawson isn't good enough.

Just read here and there about the Times article claiming City are back for Agger and prepare a third bid. It would be horrible to sell him now imo.

I think it's too late to buy another striker via Carroll's sale. Let's say they decide to sell Carroll for 15-17m. I'm sure Chelsea will ask 20m or something equally ridiculous for Sturridge. As soon as we sell Carroll, Clubs will know we are desperate.

No no, I'll maintain a positive perspective, "Come on Ian, you can do it!"

Provided this is not just another wum-ish rumour, you have to wonder what is Ian Ayre and the medical team doing? Spurs are involved in negotiations for the sale of one of their best players to Real Madrid, why can't Ayre et al see the risk of delaying the deal for Sahin? Rodgers won't be happy if we miss out on Sahin, especially if he ends up playing for one of our rivals.

Very good signing. Let's hope after 3 seasons, 4 managers around 10 midfielders, we can say we found a player with similar to Xabi's passing skills. Even for one season. Piece of cake to replace Xabi. Some people thought that with 30m would be easy to find another pass master. Lesson to learn imo. Back to Sahin, have I just missed the classic moan fest about his wages, the tape he uses, or his socks, his attitude or something?

I reckon Charlie is gonna silence some critiques today.

Maybe Poulson is better than his cousin Poulsen... who knows ;P

Blaming Kenny and defending FSG's failings. The new Liverpool way. Can you tell us where will the 50m per year from Warrior and Standard chartered be going, while wages are being reduced for the fourth consecutive window? Can you also explain their business plan. It seems you have an insight. I'm really curious to find out what it is, other than they'll be eventually selling the club for profit. The reality is Liverpool have a world class fan base with midtable owners and CEO. Get used to it.

I'm trying to find something funny or smart to say about our transfer wondow. But I can't find anything and I'm really hungry.

Good point Kosma, what happened to Marco Bueno? from wiki (I know...):

20th of August and FSG's backing to their new manager, the manager of their choice has been consumed in a sell Agger or Carroll to buy policy. two games and Borini has become already "much" better than Kuyt and more robust and effective than Rodriguez and Bellamy. That's rich.

I bet voyeur -the fake french- was stroking his wurstel while speaking to the turk on the phone.

I like Andy a lot. He is under-rated. His technique is under-rated too because of his height. Look back at the goal against Chelsea in the final. I'm really upset that Rodgers simply refuses to include him in his plans. He could be a great player for Liverpool. Just give the lad a chance.

I think Tello and allegedly Afellay too. They've turned us down. Throw Llorente, Gomes from January 2011 and Jones from last summer.
