He like many others that didn't cut the mustard at Real will eventually show their true potential at another club (ala Snijder) or be a right flop and become a journey man . Worth a punt at the right price and a definite upgrade on the likes of Adam.

Chelsea won't do that, Their loss, If you can keep it tight 0-0 or 1-1 then he's man to have on pitch, At chelsea taken off before he get that chance to do something out of the blue, or never on pitch in first place People forget what he was like at Liverpool, they look at vids and see all the goals and think he was dominating other teams for 90 mins,He was a ghost most of the time at Liverpool, No where in game, Yet could win it for you, as he was always played regardless first name on team sheet, He's a victim of circumstance at chelsea, If he was still at liverpool no way would he see the bench when fit,! Should be good final, I'd rather Chelsea, after what spurs did to us at white heart lane,, That could leave mental scars lol

He seems to have it in abundance naturally, I think personally his low was the penalty miss in the LC, if I remember correctly. He'd the balls to go and demand it, the miss was just demoralising. Its a matter of restoring a lad totally lacking in confidence, who thrives on it, to being a worker, giving a different dimension to the team and get him back to scoring goals regularly. Hence the bewilderment by many at bringing him on as a 80th minute sub! You don't bring on demoralised, confidence players in the 89th minute! Thinking more and more about the league collapse points me to the Suarez ban, and not the lack of Suarez, the lack of conviction by the management in Carroll. Playing him now for 90 minutes seems an act of desperation by the management, not something they had any idea of in January. I worry why that is. As for comparing Torres to Carroll, Rush or Torres?

Chucky the tree wrote: » Not really. Even look at the highlights video on the other page, not exactly many positive highlights. Most involves us hoofing the ball up to him and him trying to flick it on, that's not what I want to see us doing all the time. Apart from that he wasn't great, some good touches/flicks and some terrible ones in there aswell. Not really. At the end of the day if the Yanks want CL football(bigger porfits) we won't be getting it with Andy Carroll as our main striker.

Paully D wrote: » That Drenthe has serious disciplinary problems apparently, that's why he hasn't been playing lately at Everton. I like him when he fancies playing, but he's off the boil a lot. A 1 game in every 5 type player IMO. If I was Liverpool I wouldn't even bother taking the risk.
