Brendan Rodgers on Andy Carroll: "There has been a lot written and spoken about him but first and foremost Andy is a Liverpool player.

"To consider a loan period for someone the club spent £35million on isn't something we're looking to do at this moment in time.

"Andy will be the same as every other player - if there's ever an offer that comes in we'd look at it as a club and see if it's going to be worthwhile for the club and the team as a whole.

"The club invested £35million in him. People talk about whether he can fit into my style or not, but if you're a club and you spend £35million on a player you'd like to think he can fit into whatever style the team plays.

"He's a good player. He'll join the rest of the group next week and we'll take it from there."


sounds fair enough to me from brendan .

Rodgers needs to stop tapping up Clit Dempsey, and tap Andy's big fat ass back into place.

There, said it!











(I'm tellin ya folks, this Rodg Podge is the new Hodg Podge, HE AINT GOT A CLUCKIN BLUE!)

there you have straight from the oracle of liverpool f.c. !!!

I'm watching these training videos and believe you me, he is stood (STOOD?) in the middle of the pitch clapping.

Clapping what exactly? Clapping Jay Spearing?

This man should have had all of our transfer activity done by now faz, Kenny got the right idea, yet got axed!?!

Its the first pre-season game in a couple of days, and at this rate, we are gonna get thrashed 3 or 4 by Toronto, I'm tellin' ya!

All the players are saying that preseason is a "blow".........GOD HELP US!

seems like its back to andy. either he agrees to leave permanently or he rottes in the reserves.

no cheap loan deal to newcastle.

clapping spearing oh no hang him , oh i forgot benitez and dalglish actually played spearing so should have happened to them ? electric chair ?

Now, when you say 'tap'......

i like carroll but lets get it right he hasnt been a raving success now has he , and i think the club realise that and 35 million was a terrible error of judgement on the behalf of dalglish,comolli and the club .

Hasn't been a raving success?

What have you been watching faz?

He was worth every single penny of £35mill!

i dont know what you have been watching with those rose tinted glasses on , where do you get them from so i can see all these dominating performance from big andy game after game after game .
