Ever since the possible signing of Borini from Roma, to Brendan Rodgers being willing to allowing him to go on loan, the future of Liverpool's Andy Carroll has been in question. First AC Milan, then West Ham and now Newcastle United have put in a loan bid. Newcastle if reports are true would be looking to sign the England striker permanently at the end of the loan deal.
Whilst Carroll had a good end to the season together with a good Euro 2012, it may have come too late especially with a new manager. Brendan Rodgers' style of football differing to previous managers, it would appear that the tall striker may no longer appear in the manager's plans. Rodgers seems to lean towards the 4-3-3 attacking style of football that would not favour the big man.
Opinion of course will no doubt be divided. You will have the Liverpool fans who say one more chance, others who will agree with the loan deal and those who will say he should be sold straight off and not loaned out. This situation may not be too different from a case down soutg
The Robin Van Persie contract situation leaves opinion split. There are those saying force him to stay till the end of the season. That maybe all very well but doing so could see a player refuse to play and sit on the sidelines causing more issues. With Van Persie I would imagine that he will play and respect the club. Whilst he has said he does not want to sign a new contract, I dont believe he has said he would be unhappy to play.
We also have the other view that Arsenal should sell him now because be has forgotten how much time and patience that he doesn't deserve to wear the Arsenal shirt again and that they should sell him and strengthen the squad with the money.
It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks, two different players, two different paths but with one same future and that future is a new club will be on their doorstep.
