The reason Slur Alkie wasn't in for him was due to the fact Utd already have Anderson £20m, Carrick £18m and Young £18m

Actually United payed closer to £16 million for Jones (his min. fee release clause) it was Krazy Kenny who decided his minimum fee release clause seemed a bit low and chucked a few extra million on top of Liverpool's bid.
I don't think any Liverpool fans can really laugh at Young considering he is far more effective than Downing, younger and actually cost less...
Than compare Carrick a top midfielder to someone like Aqualini or Henderson who Liverpool spent similar amounts on...
The only real waste mentioned has been Anderson who is quality when he plays but is injured far far too often.

The op is conspicuous by his absence. Epic fail. And the reason is, most real fans with an ounce of knowledge know we've got ourselves a very good player, regardless of price.

Carrick
18.6 mil and he's not even good enough to start for the worst England side in living memory

Carrick 18.6m? And that was a few years ago...
£18.6m back then is probably equivalent to £25m now!
Ashley Young more effective? Guess he'll have a shiny medal to show for all his effectiveness...won't he?
His latest contributions to football is miss two penalties in a row.. For England and v Barca.
120k a week for that crap! LAMU

If as you mention medals are an indicator of effectiveness then I have no need to defend Carrick as his medal collection dwarfs Gerrard's.
Always a good idea to think these things through before making yourself look stupid.

I wonder how Rooney and Young are going to link up with Lucas Moura........oh hang on .
Ah well at least they have the quality of Sneider and Ozil...........oh I've done it again haven't I .

You mean Liverpool don't get linked with players they don't sign?

No I'm not saying we don't. It makes me chuckle that every season United are linked with, and on the verge of, signing a top player. Only for it to fall through/that player choose another club.

It's always worth remembering what you wrote before making yourself look stupid.
We were comparing Young v Downing... Young is also on £120k per week!!!!!
