stolen from the BBC feed of the Spurs game tonight.

The entire Spurs midfield that took the field tonight cost £40m, Carroll cost £35m.

I was down Liverpool last week as it happens, went into Subway at lunchtime as I was starving and asked for their most expensive sub.......

Particularly true of his little cameo against Chelsea yesterday. Was amazing!

Without a doubt the best bit of business ever done by the club.

Certainly looking that way.  Especially if you say we've replaced him with Ba, a free transfer.  Mind you would have been nice to see the money spent on the squad.

Still think Caroll may well come good. Was never worth that much money but I still reckon he can be a great player for them in time (hope not though, can't stand Liverpool).

ah, well it was just a quick thread name I threw together as an excuse to post the brilliant GIF.
Sorry if im wasting bandwidth here tecato.

It's alright, I'll just have to donate more money to the TT server fund instead of giving it to charity as I had planned to.

[The Fish]

To be fair, they're just not using him in a way that would get he best out of him. He's best when he's the focus, when there's a lot of balls going into the box, when the team plays a direct style. Liverpool want to pass it around to feet, which is all well and good, but the Gypsy Giant isn't going to be particularly potent.

I can see him spending a season more at Liverpool before moving onto Villa or Everton or the like for circa £10m

I still think he is a better player than Demba Ba in a fantasy scenario where he didnt leave, still had the #9 shirt and had cabaye and ben arfa around him..

I suppose it depends what way you want to play.  He'd be perfect for Stoke

[Lake Bells tits]

I dunno, I think he could have added another dimension for us... Carroll in form is quite pacey, has a lovely first touch and shoots like a donkey. Aerial ability need not be discussed. Unfortunately for big andy, the liverpool move was the worst thing that could have happened to him. He needs games, atm he is rotting at the bench and with the january window coming up, I can only see him getting further and further from a starting position....

Cant help but feel sorry for the lad, as he was pushed out against his will.  35 mill was a lovely price but we wont see anything of it. I support the sale due to the fees involved but its a shame it wont get re-invested...

[Park Life]

There was only one winner in the Carroll deal and it wasn't Carroll.

I think with the rest of our current squad Ba is considerably more suited to the teams style than a straight swap for carroll would be, those two together (with carroll in the form he showed for us last season) would be a mouthwatering prospect thought I reckon

[Lake Bells tits]

maybe, maybe not. But at the same time I feel that alot of "stereotyping" and " bad match-ups" are a bit of a wooly expression nowadays. Quality is quality, in whichever form it comes. Same has been said of Aguero and Silva in terms of adapting to a "rougher, pacier league".
I think big andy in form would have contributed to most teams...
