Paul Ttereve argues: “Surely the Carroll deal is just the kind of deal that Liverpool should be making. He made a hugely impressive England debut and whilst obviously a diamond in the rough he exhibits all the signs of being a hugely talented footballer and he’s YOUNG too.” Yes, sure. It’s just too much money. I can understand Man city paying that much for him, but then they also probably shop in Waitrose and only ever buy expensive deli-style sandwiches on fancy non-crap bread. Liverpool are more Tesco and perhaps the occasional fancy coffee. - Barney Ronay
