I'd guess a lot of it is for the experience as well. I'm really hoping he will make it at the club, he looks like such a promising talent.

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)

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.
