Am I not allowed to question? I'm not a Chelsea fan nor am I trying to wind any one up I promise, they've both been flops but I just want to see who everyone thinks is a worse deal.

Do you agree 35million for Carroll is abit worse? (baring in mind he has never proved himself to even be worth 10mill).

Carroll. Torres was atleast a proven goalscorer in the premiership, champions league and at international level. Carroll was playing in the championship 6 months before his move.

Both been shocking

But as far as the clubs are concerned, Chelsea got worst deal.

At least liverpool got 15 million from the transaction. Chelsea have a loss of 50million.

A 15 million profit and a 50 million loss means the difference for both clubs is 65 million

.....

But this is pre-deal

The question was what deal was worse. What Torres did prior to his move is irrelevant.

£35M isn't £35M

posted on 15/1/12

Both very poor IMO... On current form Torres is worth just £10m and Carroll is worth £5m

I was trying to point out that torres has proven he is a world-class player on many stages, carroll has done literally nothing to warrant a £35m price tag so it was a terrible deal.

Both are worth nothing right now but at least we made profit from the transaction, unlike Chelsea

Carroll was far worse because he was valued at £1m only 12 months before Liverpool signed him.

Plus Liverpool signed him on the basis that he had a half decent season in the Championship (his level) and on 4 months of PL football.

Torres was a proven goalscorer and his contribution alone was worth £50m to Liverpool.

Torres still has that touch of class and is beginning to come good. I've been impressed with him this season and the goals will begin to fly in, unlike Carroll he hasn't lacked confidence and has just been unlucky. Also hasn't had the run of games he needs and is playing in a team which is slow and pretty one dimensional

Exactly my point. Has to be one of (if not) the worst panic-buys ever.

Honestly, what did you mean by this? are Liverpool void of any criticism on here?

posted on 15/1/12

No but whats the criticism?

We got 15 million profit from the transaction and Chelsea paid 50 million

posted on 15/1/12

Metro - there's no mistaking, Chelsea are worse off financially.

posted on 15/1/12

Metro - he kind of implied that it's not ok to say anything in a negative light about Liverpool, which I did in the article about them doing the worse deal.

15 million profit

No you never.
You burnt it on Downing

posted on 15/1/12

I remember reading a stat that Admin1 posted about complaints!

United were by far the most sensitive, I may have been responsible for a lot of those complaints though!


----------------------
Anyway, the article is about what is the worst deal so far! As far as I am concerned it is Torres that has been the biggest flop, just my opinion though...

If Carroll is not scoring, which he isn't, what else does he offer the team ?
