In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
What's your name Hindsight Harry? Yes the fee was massively overblown, but they had just got an equally ludicrous £50m for Torres, and at that time Carrol was smashing the Premier league up and was central to England's plans.
So don't act like it was a mad transfer itself, just a bit too mad in fee
Carroll was the sixth highest goalscorer in the fecking Championship the previous season, he had a decent half season in the Premier League and he looked like what he was: an old-fashioned target man with mediocre ability. He clearly wasn't good enough for a team with Champions League aspirations.
Liverpool should have kept the Torres money and wait until summer to get an actual quality striker in, especially as Carroll spent almost the entire second half of the season injured anyway.
Hyypia shocked you? suarez too? You were shocked by Babbel on a free? Abel Xavier for 1m got you out of your chair? Heart skipped a bit when Voronin signed on a free? Could barely believe it when Arbeloa signed for 2m?
Aargh, that makes sense, that's right.
So I should edit my original post. 45m euro for Rodriguez!!!
Carroll was by far the most shocking transfer to me.
Bale could top it if he goes for 80m+ though.

Personally, I thought Enrique was worth every penny of his £7m or so, fee.
Even for free Voronin was a waste of money.
He was alright...
Annoying, because of his fatness, laziness and pornstar looks, but alright overall, if you must have a freebie 4th choice striker.
I remember being so Jealous at the time....was and still am a massive Bergkamp fan. Also David Platt for £4.5 million, I was torn between feck that's a lot of money and feck, hes a bloody good signing
Nani and Anderson's.
Hypia, Abel Xavier, Voronin and Arbeloa? LOL, I wish I could say they were good enough players, but I can't.
£80m for Ronaldo is a good shout.
Bent to Villa for 24m.
Hyypia wasn't that bad... In fact, he was quite awesome. Liverpool could really use that kind of experience, today, to create a solid partnership with Agger, imo.
Downing for almost 20m was far more shocking.

Cantona for the price he got him. Leeds were out of their minds!
