I say yes.
Maybe hopefully, but I think Rodgers originally meant to try to give Carroll a kick up the arse & make sure he knew he had to work to stay here, despite the massive price tag & plaudits he was getting after the euros.
Mourhino has usually done this to a player successfully, getting the best out of them in doing so.
I'd actually be surprised should we let him go, but perhaps I'm being naive.

I'm not sure. I'd only want him to leave if it was a figure of £20m or more, ideally not to Newcastle because he'd probably never stop harping about how he was mistreated here and never wanted to leave his home, or some crap like that. I still think he can do a very good job for us, there is a good player in there, but like I said, if we're offered £20m or more (unlikely to happen I know) let someone else find out.
I'd agree with the majority, unless we get 20m for him, he won't be leaving.
No. He'll go for a compromise fee of £15-17m or so. IMO.
Yeah, that's the way I see it, or a part-ex, which I know is always talked about but it rarely ever happens, but anyway. £17m ish.
Yep, we'll bring our price down.
He is a huge investment for us. And he looks like a man capable of repaying this one. We need what he offers to the squad, and he seem destined to fight for his place. A hungry monsterous striker can only do us good!
Yeah, agree with Peter. There will be compromize offer or possibly include Ba in the deal.
I dont want to sell him, but the talk about it freeing up funds for other players is one of the few reasons I'll accept it.
We need to back Rodgers 100 % here so that he can get all the additions to his squad/first team.
Most likely it will bite us in the arse down the line, but what else is new. The success of Liverpool is far more important than one player.
The plan B stuff is really annoying though.

I always knew I was meant to be a Princess.
Well, Villa, West Ham and Fulham are interested.
Plan b stuff?
What, the English media insistence that Rodgers is wasting a plan B?
He doesn't have a plan B! The idea is to have a perfect plan A so a plan B isn't needed,simply change plan A ever so slightly when it's not effective as opposed to changing philosophy or style. Whether that is right or not is arguable, but it's fact.
He hasn't even played a single game of professional football, I don't quite understand how you come to the conclusion that he's premiership proven.
We might be prepared to come down a bit on the price, but I doubt other clubs will be willing to go high enough to meet us halfway. I reckon he'll still be here, at least for now.
Ha! My point is that keeping him just because he can be a plan b coming off the bench is just stupid.
If we keep him it has to be because he can be a part of the first team.
He's just bought the film rights to Premiership Psycho and plans to cast himself as Kev King.
Yes, he'll be gone. BR has made it perfectly clear that he doesn't fit into his game plan. It's a real pity, cos he was just starting to play well.
On a brighter note, it's nice to see that BR is being adamant that he's not going to sell him for peanuts. Although when push comes to shove, if he's really that desperate to offload him, he WILL go for fuck all. I can see this being dragged out for the entire window, no one making a good enough bid, and at the last miute he'll go to Newcastle for about 8 million.

Has Mourinho ever done it before getting to know and gaining the trust of the player first?
I think that might be important, if I had yet to even train under a new boss and he already appeared critical of me I'm not sure how I'd react
You've mentioned this book before, worth reading? Could do with a new book on the reader.
