That's always the trouble with merchandise...
Me ? I never buy any of that cr@p. I'd wait until a player has stopped playing to even think about buying his autobiography.

I hope Carroll is just trying to go out good to his fans. I'm sure what he says is mostly true but I really hope he is ready to continue on in his career and do great things for Liverpool.

Still cant get over we payed 35 mill for him

Look at it this way, at least we HAVE the money available to pay that kind of money, and thats a nice feeling to have.

Well, while it is nice i would have preferred if we filled more holes in the team as there are a lot of holes to fill.

Neither the defense or wingers are anywhere near good enough and once again it is not like the owners have spent a single penny.

They just took the money for Torres and gave most of it immediately to Newcastle without investing a single penny themselves.

For once I'd like our owners to actually invest some of it's own money instead of using that which we make from player sales.

No matter how you slice and dice it that hasn't happened in this window.

they did invest in suarez before Nando decide he'd throw the last of his toys out and go to chelsea.

I think it's a fantastic sign that we now have owners that back the club and the manager. They have a clear policy of paying what ever money it takes to bring in young players with fantastic potential.

Yes Carrol is not the same level as Torres and maybe on his own he'll probably not be as good but what we do have now is a partnership that will actually work for the Team and together get goals. And i think we will look back and point to this moment as the turning point for the team goin forward in to next year.

BRING IT ON

@ penguin..

What investment are you talking about Mr Penguin.. they bought this club for £300m.. with whose money exactly?

We are debt free and the club can service player purchase and wages though its earnings - not service debts

All the money earnt form this transfer window, has been reinvested in to the team with a bit extra from 'their' pockets..

which bit of 'their money' are you goin on about - you are doin me head in with this line of thought.

Torresh'ite was bought by H&G - with a bank loan, that was not 'their money'..

So stop this - the owners could have said there is not enough time to add to the squad and kept the money wherever in the club.. but you know what they held the trump cards and made chelsea wait until we secured our replacements.. and wow did they go to town - so lets enjoy this moment.. they'll be more to come with these navigating us through torrid waters, back to the summit !

They also showed that shower of sh'te.. life goes on without you, even before the sweat in yer training boots has dried.. !

Can you post it on here?

[metalhead]

After finishing his first session at Melwood and meeting his new teammates, Andy Carroll sat down with the club's official website to give his first interview as a Liverpool player.

Welcome to Liverpool Football Club, how does it feel to be here?

It's just a great feeling. Liverpool is a massive club and it's nice to be wanted by a club like this, never mind turning up and being here with everyone around.

How did you feel when you first heard of Liverpool's interest?

I was a bit surprised and didn't really know what was going on at the time. When I knew it was real and that there was a chance for me to come here I knew it was a great opportunity and I had to take it.

Everything has happened so quickly - has it sunk in yet?

A little bit! Everyone I grew up with is still in Newcastle but as soon as things settle down a bit I'm sure it'll be better.

How did it feel this morning to wake up as Liverpool's new No.9?

It's a great feeling. The No.9 is a big number and the one I wanted. To get it at Liverpool is a great feeling.

It is an iconic shirt at Liverpool with the likes of Rush, Fowler and Torres having worn it - how proud are you to now be following in their footsteps?

That's what I'm hoping for. I want to go out there and play the football that has brought me here. I want to score goals, set up goals and carry on playing football

How much are you looking forward to working with Kenny Dalglish?

That's really exciting. He's a great man, a great manager and I'm looking forward to getting started. He has told me to settle myself in, get fit and get ready to start playing.


We know you're close friends with Kevin Nolan who is a big Liverpool fan - what has he said to you about this club?

I have spoken to him. He is over the moon, really delighted for me. He said it's a big chance for me to go out there and show what I can do with Liverpool, and that's what I'm going to do.

How big an opportunity is this for you at such an early stage in your career?

It's massive. Liverpool is a big club which is going places and this is a chance to show what I can do. What I did at Newcastle has got me here and now I have to carry it on with Liverpool.

You're not the only new signing at the club - how much are you looking forward to linking up with Luis Suarez?

It's going to be great to partner with him. He's a great player but I'm looking forward to playing with all the lads. There are some great players here and I just hope I can fit in well.

You've had a great season at Newcastle - how confident are you that you'll score the goals to take Liverpool forward in the way we all want?

Goals have always been in my game so I'm very confident I can score for Liverpool. I'll bring as much as I can to the team, I'll score goals, create chances, hold up the ball and just try my best really.

How much are you looking forward to making your Liverpool debut?

I can't wait. I just need to get myself fit and then look forward to my debut. I'm just working in the gym at the moment and hopefully will start running soon. I just want to get started.

This is clearly the start of a new era at Liverpool under new ownership - how excited are you at the prospect of being an integral part of it?

It's a great feeling. Everyone has put their faith in me and it's nice to have come to a club that has welcomed me like this.

And, finally, what would your message be to Liverpool fans today?

They have spent a lot of money on getting me here and I just want to repay them for what they have spent. I'll do my best and think I can do it. I want to win trophies with this club and help push us forward.

This kid is either going to be trouble, or a beast of a player for us.
