Andy Carroll at Liverpool: £35 million down the drain!

Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has been a super flop infront of the Kop (oh, that rhymes!) since his big money move to the Merseyside last January. To see him placed eight in the most expensive football transfers list alongside Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane (to name a few) seems a severe aberration. The tall forward amusingly is the most expensive British player in the world, Liverpool’s record signing and the second costliest footballer playing for a British club, right behind his close friend and mentor Fernando Torres! He remains Premier League’s most overrated star and an excess baggage for Kenny Dalglish, the same man who vastly overpaid to Newcastle for his signature.

Ask the Liverpool faithful, Carroll has been an absolute disaster on the pitch and often seems like a fan who won a pre-season award to play at Anfield. He literally has no skill, pace and flair and we are not even talking about his football IQ. Where all the goals came from in Tyneside is still a big mystery. Andy Carroll’s misery on the pitch has accorded him with a ‘worst ever piece of business’ award.

Here are a few fun facts and jokes on Andy, by the fans, for the fans!
