Yep. Most of the Liverpool lads have their heads screwed on to be fair. Robbie speaks a lot of sense and while I've had my disagreements with Wire_85 he speaks a fair bit of sense. 74' is a special talent though

Aye, but was never really noticed until his season with Newcastle last season in The Championship. I do agree that we've payed about 15 million to much but still, he's young, English and can score goals and if the moneys there, then, spend it.

Only time will tell. In The King we trust?

I don't think KD had anything to do with this. Probably went down like this:

DC: "KD, what do you reckon about Carroll?"
KD: "Yeah, seen him a couple of times, he's okay."
DC: "Ah, that's good, because I've just put a £30m bid in for him."
KD: "Oh, right......"

Not sure what that has to do with Liverpool spending daft money to get Andy Carroll?....

Your mate wanted to know why people are discussing Liverpool and I, quite rightly, pointed out that most folk are simply bewildered how they've been duped into paying £35m for Carroll.

Nothing really.

Just wanted to know.

For now, though, he's playing exceptionally well at right back, he doesn't have the 'converted winger' type ability of a modern full back, but he's holding his own and hasn't looked out of place one bit.

That's what I meant I dont see him charging up and down the flank in support, lots of teams playing 2 holding midfielders these days and need full backs to supplement the attack.

I think he will be a very good CB.

Don't say that. I don't think he realised you were taking the p*ss last time you said something similar. In all honesty he actually speaks alot of sense r.e Rugby League, just goes daft when LFC are concerned.

Chelsea have signed Matt King.

I'm not going to tow the line Mark and say it's a brilliant signing and well worth the money. It's not. It's a suprising signing, but the money involved is shambolic.
