I will openly say this: Carroll will be a flop at Anfield. For 20 years i have followed EPL and therefore do not make this statement lightly. His game style and Liverpool's formation are completely incompatible and the absurdity that's worth 35m is astonishing-He's worth more than Sheva, David Villa and even Samuel Eto'o! The money could have been better spent on players like Sergio Canales, Bojan Krkic and Pedro Leon, LLorrente etc.
Building for the future means they just don't buy but purchase to fit an attacking policy-fast passing at a high tempo and a pressing game when not in possession. That's the reason for the aforementioned players. Below is a list of players Liverpool have lost in 18 months:
Arbeloa: @ Real Madrid
Xabi: @ Real Madrid
Mascherano: @ Barcelona
Aquilani: @ Juventus
Benayoun: @ Chelsea
Torres: @ Chelsea
These people controlled and contributed hugely to the outcome of a game. Some might argue against Benayoun's inclusion but he was a game changer for us when need albeit not an consistent basis. Not good for us? Well, Chelsea thought otherwise.
Such a loss of talent in a short period doesn't augur well...especially considering their caliber. We might think that Torres going is a huge blow. True, but Reina leaving will have seismic implications as there are few keepers of his quality. It might look like a remote possibility but so did Torres'; departure last week.
Carroll: Liverpool's Number Nine. Stuff of nightmares! On this dark wintry Vermont day, my heart has truly been broken in a way i couldn't envisage.
Cant say more.......
