Transfer dealings - Dalglish or Comolli?

state of the club in 2012 methinks!
I agree Ed we definitely need options up front. Even Barcelona showed against Chelsea that no matter how good your plan A is sometimes you need something different. I suppose you have to weigh up which would benefit the team more, keeping Andy Carroll or re-investing any money received on improving the squad.
Its a tough call. Like I wouldnt be willing to sell Carroll for peanuts but if we were to receive 18-20 million and if that was to be reinvested by bringing in someone like Christian Eriksen or Jovetic, basically someone of real quality who will improve the first team then I would probably say let him go. Having options is great but due to our finances we cant afford to have expensive signings playing bit part roles.
Yeah i'd love to see some class come in, unfortunately there's just no chance those players would
be interested, until we're in the CL again. Imo, Carroll's attitude has been spot on and that's why I'm
surprised that BR decided to unsettle him. Last season, watching the quality that other teams had in
every position I think it's optimistic to think that we can use a newly implemented passing/pressing
game to beat them consistently next season, which is precisely why i don't mind us having the option
of Carroll (he can unnerve these big teams as we saw against Chelsea, something Spearing or Borini
are hardly likely to do).
Anyway, it's besides the point, this Newcastle bid is just making us look ridiculous again. It's symptomatic
of the air of cluelessness that surrounds our club these days over the slightest thing. Once again a smaller
club is dictating the agenda, there's no leadership being provided and the story drags on the media for
days.
