Couldn't agree more on Carrick. I think he's a fantastic player. I know he's a flaming manure player, but Kieran Richardson is another very good player that I think we could get at a good price.
As well as being a lifelong Liverpool fan, being a Swansea boy, I was taken to see Swansea City play a lot when I lived at home, and still follow them now. How about giving Lee Trundle his Premiership chance? He's been on fire this year, scoring in virtually every game hehehehe
