Nice depth to defence though, without Coates - some good young full backs in the mix. My team for the first game - Jones Flanagan-Skrtel(c)-Wisdom-Enrique Spearing ---Aquilani Adam Shelvey-- Pacheco Morgan It's a throw-away result, will be about using the players who are freshest and have been back longest, and giving some kids a chance. The last of depth in attack means Morgan gets a shot...

I am tired of repeating myself on Carroll, but when the manager is publicly quoted at pimping out Carroll to a club for the forthcoming season, then it should be blatantly obvious that he doesn't figure in his plans. I know we paid a ridiculous amount of money for Carroll, but it's time we accept that we will never get anywhere near that amount of money back. Not now, not ever.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says he would consider letting striker Andy Carroll go out on loan. The 23-year-old England international has struggled to meet expectations since joining the club from Newcastle for a club record £35m in January 2011."It's something I would have to look at, I have to be honest," said Rodgers.

As mentioned previously, if we are going to sell then a player plus cash might be the best option.
Newcastle offered to pay part of striker Carroll's £80,000-a-week wages, with a view to a permanent deal at a specified price next summer. But the terms fall some way short of Liverpool's expectations. The Anfield club rejected the initial offer on Sunday night and Liverpool's preference is a sale, rather than to loan out the 23-year-old.

Dickerty wrote: » Yep, and rightly so. That would be a good price for him, forgetting what we paid, which remember was a result of what we got for Torres. If we had sold Torres for £35M and bought Carroll for £20M, would we be quite so bothered? I think Rodgers could do a lot with £18M (cough HUNTELAAR cough)
