Most of this recent stuff should probably be in the LFC thread, but one thing I hate seeing constantly brought up is the transfer fee that was paid for these players, especially Carroll.

How many £35 million strikers are only making 80k/week? Carroll is not, and never will be, worth that much again. It was a perfect storm that led to his fee being so high. He was 22, English, scoring goals at a decent rate and had other suitors. Oh, and he was bought with only hours remaining in the transfer window by new owners who would have been slaughtered in the press had they not done anything to replace their prolific striker who was sold for such a high fee.
