Sullivan was on Talkpork saving he was a mistake and wish theyd never bought him!

Nothing like instilling confidence in someone! haha

Could have been worse I suppose... they could have paid 35 million for him.

Tramps_mate · July 25, 2014

Yes, hahaha!!!

How long before he's set for the glue factory?

Nah mate because of the Torres fee, King Kennys genius and the guiding hand of shanklys spirit Liverpool actually made a healthy profit on the deal.
Or so my Red mate told me.

I think he should just retire

He's risking health problems for later life if he keeps getting hurt like this over and over again

He just might not be physically up to playing at the top level

Looking at the link, that's 14 months off since September 2012 ffs

September 2012 - Picks up hamstring injury in his first game on loan - out for a month

November 2012 -Twists knee against Manchester United - sidelined for two months

May 2013 -Damages heel in the last game of the season - out for seven months

July 2014 -Tears ankle ligaments in pre-season - expected to be out for four months

That's a nightmare for a small club like West Ham

That must be why they took an extra 2 million off the asking price to get rid of him, they were already well up on the deal.

as if he's just going to give up his fat contract . He will be happy letting west ham pick up his medical bill.

Aahhh, time to revisit this old favourite....

"Because he is a good team man Carroll will continue to run willingly, lumbering sideways like a drunken horse, still doing his "passing", addressing the ball with the finesse of a man booting an old hubcap along a motorway verge."

Hehehe.

Dont hold any malice against the guy once he left the RS. Awful buys for two clubs. How on earth did he pass the medical for West Ham if he was out for seven months when they bought him?

I always thought he is more of an Everton-type centre forward than anything Liverpool FC could have made the most of. It wasn't his fault they were prepared to pay so much for him. He didn't particularly want to leave Newcastle anyway by all accounts. Too injury-prone. Huge shame for the lad.
