Tbh, I think it was outside the box but I'd take that anytime.

I can't wait for them to come. Meanwhile this is a nice read:

Great interview. I particularly like this part of the Q&A:

Andy Carroll also arrived on deadline day - how delighted were you to tie that deal up and bring him to the club?

Very, very pleased for two reasons. First, because we were getting a top player. He's young, English, with all the attributes you want from a modern centre-forward in the way we want to play. Secondly, because getting two players triggered the fact that we could sell one player who didn't want to be here and get two who did want to be here. That was really a relief for those reasons.

The bottom line is, we need players with a passion for the club regardless of its ups and downs. I believe those two came here knowing that a chance of CL football is slim at the moment. But I'm sure they also know that Liverpool is moving forward and will have a bright chance to win the EPL and claim a CL spot in the following season.
