I doubt he'll crack mentally, he's a big cocky meathead, typical street Geordie, if he fails it'll be because he actually isn't that good.

No, but Carroll is a very good, young player.
If moving to Liverpool gets him away from his mates in Newcastle and results in him maturing a bit, he can end up being a really top class striker in the not too distant future.
And it was never going to be possible for a sensible negotiation to take place when Newcastle knew Liverpool were about to get £50m for Torres.

In England they think Carroll is the new Alan Shearer, so you have to add that into the price, but it's still far too much looking at face value. Factor in that he is a tosser and has been in trouble on several occasions culminating in him having to live with Kevin Nolan to keep an eye on him, as a court condition. It'll be interesting to see how that'll work now 
Maybe he'll grow up.
If he scores like he did for Newcastle it'll look like a bargain, but it's quite a big 'if'.
