I think the constant link to Dempsey strengthens the argument that Rodgers is looking towards the 4-6-0 formation. He isn't a striker as such is he? IMO, Brendan didn't see Carroll as part of his plans because of his movement (the not being able to be part of the passing system is just bollox). Rodgers wants players that are flexible and able to interchange with others - Suarez, Borini, Sterling, etc can all play left, right or centre, they can drop back to help out defensively too. With Carroll, you don't really get that. We won't sign a Fowler, Owen, Huntelaar type of striker IMO![]()
I like this new way of thinking - we saw how dependent we were on Torres and we really struggled without him. I would rather have 3 players who can score 10 goals each than 1 player who scores 30.
