look at Manu. they gave so much time to anderson david de gea. Now a days, they cant compete in transfer market in front of real, barca, chelc, manc.. But they take 100% out of everyone. anderson, nani, de gea, Kagawa were not instant hit. they did not got rid of them. they wait n let them grow. lpool has no money but they can throw away 20mil robbie keane in 6 moths, 20m aquilani in 1 year, 35m carroll in 1.5 years. he was 22-23. All new signing are young lads. If they gel together well and bloom in next one two years. unstoppable team.
Having defended Lucas, Ngog, Insua, Henderson and even Voronin for longer than I should have, I think you should be sending this in a PowerPoint presentation to Brendan. We stuck up for Andy Carroll, which he clearly appreciated after being booed by Toon fans for not wanting to leave but having to. Kenny and Steve stuck by him and made him "unplayable", to the point everybody wanted him instead of Rooney in the Euros. Only Brendan appears to have taken the media's descirption of "unplayable" literally and wasted all that time ane money on a theory. Andy may take another year to settle elsewhere but the monster he is will return and bite Brendan in the butt.
