Exactly!! They could have got two piles of shit for their money and not just one

I'm still yet to come in terms with th fact that they parted with that much money for Carroll. He is good promising player but hardly once in a decade talent. For that sort of money you should be talking about one of the top 10 players in the world. Utter madness.
And yeah, we have had our fuck ups but 35 million. Jesus.

But the replacements are:
1. An unproven striker with 5 months Prem experience, and with the potential to end up in prison in the next year or so.
2. A striker who has scored goals in the Dutch league...like Dirk Kuyt, Mateja Kezman and Alfonso Alves did.
It's not exactly like for like.
Admittedly it could work out for them, but with the fees they paid, it's a hell of a risk.
