Part 6/9:
Andy Carroll: An Incomplete Puzzle
Another high-profile transfer that failed to deliver was Andy Carroll’s switch from Newcastle to Liverpool for a hefty £56 million, undertaken as a reaction to Torres’ departure. Expectations were high for Carroll, but his time at Liverpool was underwhelming. The English striker scored only six Premier League goals over three seasons, leaving much to be desired. Despite being signed as a replacement, Carroll struggled to find his place in the squad, often overshadowed by other attacking talents.
