Adebayor on loan for free or Andrew Carroll for £35m?

Which is the better deal? Bear in mind that Adebayor is probably on higher wages than Carroll, but Carroll is a lot more likely to to prison for slapping women around or beating up his brother, and is a lot younger and less experienced.

No poll here, as I want to encourage discussion.

Adebayor by absolute miles.

Adebayor easily.

Leon Best is better than Andy Carroll.

Adebayor. Helps that even though he's on bigger wages, Spurs aren't paying all of it.

Probably.

Adebayor.

Agreed

Really unfair comparison here. There are a lot of players I would take for free before a lot of great players for 35million. Even if the 35million was a great deal for the player in question. Free is free

I'd rather have Andy Caroll on a 4 year contract or whatever he penned rather than Adebayor for 1 year. Even though Ade is better.

You still have to pay his wages, and you're less likely to be able to sell him.

Adebayor for me as well. Carroll is a good player but not quite Ade standards.

I'd take Adebayor for £35m over Carroll let alone for free.

I heard a theory from YouTube's Pundit of the Year that Kenneth Dalglish is trying to ruin the England national team by heaping enormous amounts of pressure on English youngsters. Any relatively young English player who has a few decent games and Kenneth Dalglish will bid £20m+ for him. Stuart Downing, Phil Jones, Jordan Henderson, Ashley Young, Andrew Carroll, he tries to sign every decent English player he can think of and forces them into making moves, which often ends up with them rotting on the bench. The only British player he has signed for a reasonable fee is Charles Adam, who, like Dalglish, is Scottish.

Adam isn't good though.

When people talk about Andy Carroll it shows they are afraid.

Because he might punch you in the face.

You wouldn't be less likely to sell him, you simply wouldn't be able to since he's on loan.

Unless you buy him at the end of it. Also, when you buy a player you still might not be able to sell him, as his contract will expire.

Adebayor.

That's not the question you ask in the original post. And I have no idea what you mean in that second sentence.

Liverpool won't necessarily be able to sell Andrew Carroll, as he could leave on a free transfer.

No, they have the ability at all times to sell him. Letting him leave for free is a conscious decision that they will have made at some point. But I have no idea why you brought that up when all I said initially was that if one chooses the "loan Adebayor" option, they wouldn't be able to sell him as he is on loan. This was a counter to your use of Adebayor's difficulty to sell as an argument for why one may opt for Carroll.

Adebayor.

Rather Bebe for £7.4m

Ava says it all.

I really wouldn't want my club to pay that amount of money for Andy Carroll so Adebayor.

If Carrol's fee had of been more reasonable then I would rather have him on a permanent basis, however 35m was ridiculous, so Adebayor.

Obviously the Adebayor deal was the better one.

Joey Barton on a free or Henderson for 20 m?







Clearly Barton, even though I hate him

And definity Adebayor, even though I hate him as well

Rather have neither.
