However, €35m for Andy Carroll? While I agree he has some potential, he's a player with very little top flight experience - only 6 months in the top division. There is so much more that Liverpool could have done with €35m - 2-3 genuine world class players.
To me this has all the hallmarks of a panic buy - club lost all sense of reason once the €50m transfer clause in Torres' contract was triggered. Would have been better banking the money and using it effectively in the Summer when there are less time contraints and a permanent manager is in place.
I aggree 36 million for Andy Carroll sounds crazy. As someone pointed out this morning, David Villa cost 34 million and there is no way Andy Carroll is in that class.
He has potential and might prove people wrong but it sounds like a panic buy alright.
Maybe Dalglish wants to finish as high up as possible to push his own case for the job on a permanent basis?
Liverpool might have been better to push more for Charlie Adams and leave the hunt for a second striker until the summer.
Would love to have seen the Ashley Young deal go through and also bring Charlie Adam to Anfield would have added to the squad.
I think Charlie Adam is a genuine flash in the pan. A 25 year old lower level journeyman (Blackpool are his 5th club) who's been fairly medicore for most of his career. Like Carroll, only 6 months experience in the top flight.

I like him , great first touch and quite a bit of vision , I'm sorry the Spurs move fell true as I think he could have offered something.
How many midfielders do Spurs need? Huddlestone, Bale, Lennon, Jenas, Van der Vaart, Palacios, Modric, Kranjcar, Pienaar - they can't keep them all happy! Can't see how Adam would have been anything other than a backup to Modric at best.
I was a bit miffed that we didn't get Ashley Young or Adam, but the club made serious offers and got turned down.
